Delaware
The moment a Delaware Agreement of Sale is signed, Ratifyly reads it and confirms the required paperwork is present and signed — the non-waivable Seller's Disclosure of Real Property Condition Report, the radon disclosure, the Consumer Information Statement, and lead-paint disclosure on pre-1978 homes — and flags anything missing before it slows the deal. Because Delaware settlements run through a closing attorney, Ratifyly keeps the brokerage, the agent, the client, and the settlement timeline on one live view of the same transaction. Then it tracks every deadline the contract runs on — inspection, financing, appraisal, title, and settlement — so nothing quietly slips past its date.
The contracts we read
Most Delaware residential deals run on the Delaware Association of REALTORS (DAR) Agreement of Sale, paired with the state-mandated, DREC-promulgated Seller's Disclosure of Real Property Condition Report and Radon Disclosure. Delaware is an attorney-close state: since the Delaware Supreme Court's 2000 ruling, real estate settlements must be conducted by a licensed Delaware attorney, with earnest money held in IOLTA/attorney escrow. Ratifyly reads whatever document actually governs the deal — the DAR form, a local board or attorney-drafted agreement, or a brokerage's own — so it works regardless of which contract source your closing runs on.
But Ratifyly isn't limited to those. Because it reads the document itself— not a fixed template — it handles whatever version an agent actually uses: the statewide association form, a regional or local board form, an attorney-drafted contract, or a brokerage's own paperwork. And it reads the whole packet, not just the contract — disclosures, addenda, the closing disclosure, title commitment, inspection reports, wire instructions, and more — so nothing in the file goes unreviewed.
Required paperwork we check
- Seller's Disclosure of Real Property Condition Report — mandatory, cannot be waived by buyer or seller; uses the DREC-promulgated form (6 Del. C. §§2572, 2578), with narrow transfer exemptions under §2577
- Radon disclosure — buyer must be notified of radon exposure potential and given any radon test/inspection information in the seller's possession (6 Del. C. §2573)
- Consumer Information Statement (CIS) / real estate agency-relationship disclosure (24 Del. C. §2938)
- Federal lead-based paint disclosure and EPA pamphlet for homes built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d)
Deadlines we track
- Inspection / due-diligence contingency window agreed in the Agreement of Sale, with a buyer response and repair-negotiation period
- Financing / mortgage-commitment contingency deadline for the buyer to secure loan approval
- Appraisal completion tied to the financing timeline
- Title search and title-commitment review ahead of settlement, coordinated through the closing attorney
- Radon test window where the buyer elects to test
- Settlement (closing) date — conducted by a licensed Delaware attorney, with funds held in IOLTA/attorney escrow
