What this report is and is not

DRAFT wording, to be reviewed by a Florida-licensed attorney with the terms and privacy notice.

It is

• A comparison of what a listing says, as you entered it, with what public records say about the property.
• A list of facts, each with the public office it came from and the date it was read.
• A set of questions to ask the seller, your agent, your lender, your inspector or your insurer before you make an offer.

It is not

• An appraisal or any opinion of value or price.
• A home inspection, survey, wind-mitigation inspection or four-point inspection.
• A title search or a search of liens recorded in the official records.
• Legal, lending, insurance or tax advice. Where a rule is quoted, the report says what the rule states and suggests asking the professional who applies it.
• A statement about any neighborhood, its residents, or anything other than the property's own records.

When a record is missing

If a public source did not answer, or a record does not address a question, the report says Unverified. It never fills a gap with a guess.

Corrections

If a fact does not match its source, write to vincegonzalez@me.com with the report ID and the record. Corrections are checked against the source, and the report is reissued when the source supports the change.
