Under New York Real Property Law §443, a seller's agent must provide the agency disclosure form to a buyer:
Only if the prospective buyer makes a written offer first
At the time of first substantive contact with the buyer
Only at the closing table
Within 24 hours after the listing agreement has been signed
Show answer & explanation
At the time of first substantive contact with the buyer — RPL §443 requires the disclosure form to be presented at the time of first substantive contact — the point where the discussion moves beyond general property information into specific needs or terms.

The New York State disclosure form regarding agency relationships is best described as:
A binding contract obligating the recipient to use that agent
An informational disclosure, not a contract, acknowledging receipt only
Optional paperwork with no statutory basis
Required only in commercial transactions
Show answer & explanation
An informational disclosure, not a contract, acknowledging receipt only — The New York agency disclosure form is explicitly not a contract; a signature only acknowledges that the recipient received and reviewed the disclosure of possible agency relationships.
