Audio Recording Disclosure FAQs

Q1: How should I disclose that my home seller uses or intends to use audio recordings during showings or open houses?

A: In the event that a home seller uses or intends to use audio transmitting or recording equipment during showings or open houses, the following disclosure should be added to the “Agent Remarks” section of your listing:

“NOTICE FOR SHOWINGS: AUDIO RECORDING IN EFFECT”.

Q2: Do I have to disclose that my home seller uses or intends to video record during showings or open houses?

A: If your seller’s video recording includes audio, the answer is “yes”.

VIDEO RECORDING
Security monitoring is permissible if conducted by or at the direction of the owner or principal occupant of that residence. In the event that a home seller uses or intends to use video transmitting or recording equipment during showings or open houses, sound recording should be shut off or otherwise halted unless Audio Recording Disclosure has been made. Although not required for video recording, the following may be added to the “Agent Remarks” section in this instance:

“NOTICE FOR SHOWINGS: VIDEO RECORDING IN EFFECT”.
