With the spring market heating up and agents rushing to get their forms signed as soon as possible, it’s easy to overlook the NVAR copyright disclaimer at the bottom of all our standard forms. Remember that all NVAR forms — including sales contracts and leases — are protected for use only by Realtors®. This means that you are prohibited from sharing blank NVAR standard forms with any non-Realtor®, such as unrepresented buyers or landlords, settlement companies, or your friends or relatives.
