Tennessee
For a Tennessee deal, Ratifyly reads the RF 401 Purchase and Sale Agreement the moment it's signed and audits it for compliance — confirming the Residential Property Condition Disclosure (RF 201) or its disclaimer is in the file, checking lead-paint on pre-1978 homes, and flagging any missing form. From the Binding Agreement Date it tracks every deadline the contract runs on, rolling each forward on weekends and holidays, with broker, agent, and client on one live view.
The contracts we read
The Tennessee REALTORS® Purchase and Sale Agreement (Form RF 401), the industry-standard residential contract statewide, with the RF-series library (RF 201/202/204/205 disclosures, RF 209 lead-paint, contingency addenda). These are association forms, not state-promulgated.
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
- Tennessee Residential Property Condition Disclosure (Form RF 201) — TN Residential Property Disclosure Act (Tenn. Code Ann. § 66-5-201 et seq.), before the offer is accepted
- Residential Property Disclaimer Statement (Form RF 204) — the “as-is” alternative when disclosure is waived
- Federal Lead-Based Paint Disclosure (Form RF 209) for homes built before 1978
Deadlines we track
- Binding Agreement Date — the anchor all other deadlines count from
- Inspection Period — buyer's window to inspect (incl. wood-destroying insects)
- Resolution Period — days after the repair list to reach agreement
- Financing / loan application — commonly within ~3 days of the Binding Agreement Date
- Appraisal — order + appraiser info within the stated window
- Closing / settlement — deadlines roll to the next business day on weekends/holidays
