In April, a revised Buyer Advisory (dated March 2016) will be released to Arizona REALTORS® via AAR’s forms licensing platforms such as dotloop® and zipForm®.

Advisories for Buyer, Lease Owner, Short Sale Seller and Tenant are updated periodically throughout the year. Due to the release schedule for new and revised forms, it can be challenging for AAR’s forms vendors to maintain the most recent version of each advisory. However, updated advisories are promptly posted on AARonline.

Revisions to the March 2016 Buyer Advisory include:

  • 5, #17; Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) – New link to an I.R.S. video addressing FIRPTA withholdings
  • 6, #4; Swimming Pools and Spas – New content to assist buyers in investigating swimming pool regulations
  • 7, # 8; Soil Problems – New link to the Arizona Geological Survey website, which offers a viewer/map for Earth Fissures, Active Faults, Earthquake Epicenters, Flood Potential and Fire Risk Index

An itemized list of changes to the form can be found here. As with all advisories, website addresses (links) have been updated throughout to assist and encourage consumers to further research issues of importance to them. When your client clicks this link, they will automatically view the current version on file.

To keep apprised of all changes to our advisories, we have developed a way for members to be automatically notified of any updates. To access this feature, login to AAROnline, go to My Account and click on the Subscriptions tab. If you are already logged in, click here to add or change a subscription.*

AAR will notify members via email whenever there is updated information concerning the topic(s) you have selected, including new and revised forms. In the meantime, if you have suggestions about any of AAR’s advisories or discover a broken link, please contact Jan Steward.

*Note: Changing the email to where updates are sent does not change your membership email address.
