Solar MLS Remarks & Disclosure Language for Listings: Fill-In Templates (PDF)

Accurate, fill-in language for solar listings, plus words to avoid.

"Solar panels = no electric bill!" is the kind of remark that comes back to haunt a listing agent. Solar needs to be described accurately, and the right words depend on whether the system is owned, financed, leased, or under a PPA. One careless phrase can set expectations the buyer later says were never met.

This cheat sheet is for listing agents and brokers who write MLS remarks and prepare disclosures. It gives you fill-in sample remarks for each structure, a list of words to use and words to avoid, the disclosure packet to share with the buyer's agent, and short scripts for the questions buyers and agents ask most often.

What's inside:

• Fill-in sample MLS remarks by solar structure
• Words to use and words to avoid
• Buyer's-agent disclosure packet
• Scripts for common solar questions
