Free checklist for brokers
What has to be in the file?
It’s the question brokers ask us most. This is the checklist we use to answer it: what a complete file holds for resale listings, buyer-side deals, new construction, leases and land. Each item is tagged federal, state law, MLS/NAR or best practice.

What’s Inside
- Every file, every transaction type: agency disclosure, representation agreements, the executed contract and addenda, earnest money, settlement statements, broker sign-off
- Residential resale, listing side and buyer side: seller disclosures, lead-based paint, HOA documents, buyer agreements signed before the first tour
- New construction: builder contracts, registration, selections and change orders, warranties
- Leases: applications and screening, lead-based paint for rentals, deposits and trust records
- Land and lots: access, easements, mineral and water rights, flood and zoning
- Record retention: what to note on the file before it goes into storage
Requirements vary by state, MLS and brokerage. Use it as a starting point for your own written policies, not as legal advice.
