New "Flipper" Disclosure: What Realtors Need to Know

As of July 1st, 2024, California’s new Flipper Disclosure Law changes the rules for sellers who flip properties. If a home is resold within 18 months of purchase and work has been done on it, sellers must now disclose alterations, provide permits, and share contractor details. For Realtors, this means guiding sellers through compliance, advising buyers on what the disclosures mean, and reducing the risk of deals falling apart. Transparency is the new baseline—knowing these requirements keeps transactions smoother and protects everyone involved.
