Are Realtors required to provide requested documentation, such as receipts for recent repairs, to buyers before the property is under contract? I have an agent who is refusing to send receipts for repairs that have been recently done on the property until the property is under contract.
Hi Chris. I'm a RE Broker in Indiana. It is not typical for an agent to supply these things to a buyer until the property is under contract. Same for leases and ledgers. Those are not supplied until the offer has been accepted. Good luck :-)

Thank you so much for your help!
To be clear….the seller is not Required to provide these, EVER.

Yes, I told Chris that the sellers do not have to give this information. But it can be asked for in the terms of the offer to be submitted after the offer is accepted. And that many times a seller may not even be able to get their hands on receipts. Nor want to put in the effort to do so.
I have been successful on quite a few occasions to get these documents---IF the seller had recently made major improvements such as a new roof or HVAC so the buyer would have it for the warranty info.
Other than that---have never asked for anything minor.
