Real Estate — Transaction & Fair-Housing Checklist

Industry front door for checklist. Adds domain triggers, example, packs. Parent Process unchanged. Not legal advice. Verify against current federal Fair Housing Act, state agency-disclosure, and your brokerage/MLS rules.

Activate when: taking a listing; writing marketing copy; presenting offers; coordinating to close; onboarding a new agent's process. Do NOT activate when: running a CMA with no compliance action.

Why this variant

The parent checklist is a must-not-skip gate. A real estate transaction has legally required, penalty-backed steps (agency disclosure, material-defect disclosure, fair-housing) that are easy to skip under deal pressure. This maps them onto the gate.

Domain inputs → the checklist gate

• Agency disclosure: relationship (buyer/seller/dual) disclosed and documented per state rules.
• Fair housing: no steering/discrimination on protected classes; advertising language compliant (describe the property, not the buyer). Gate: any ad copy referencing who "should" live there fails — rewrite.
• Material defect / property disclosures: seller disclosures complete; known defects not concealed.
• Deadlines: inspection, financing, appraisal, and closing contingency dates tracked (feed a deadline agent).
• Earnest money / trust handling per brokerage + state rules.
