It is a violation of Missouri law to use forms for which the approval has been withdrawn. Generally, E&O insurance policies require the use of approved forms.
2026 FORMS CHANGES
JANUARY 1, 2026 FORMS CHANGES
These changes are effective January 1, 2026, and the previous versions of each revised form will expire July 1, 2026.
The following is a summary of the main changes and rationale:
Removal of Initials Section from the Footer of All Contracts & Forms
Initials were originally added to prevent page substitutions and to encourage full document review. With current digital signing platforms, page-level tracking already prevents substitution, and initials no longer provide additional protection. Removing them streamlines the process, reduces administrative burden, and eliminates the risk of missed initials, which can create audit issues. Signatures at the end of each document remain sufficient to show agreement.
Sale Contracts (Residential Sale & Special Sale)
- Title & Survey: Changes were necessary in the sales contracts based on the changes made to the Title & Survey Notices outlined below (Forms 2167a & 2167b)
- Appraisal Access Clarification: Included clarification that appraisal access must be permitted regardless of whether the buyer’s offer includes a financing contingency, addressing issues arising in recent non-contingent sales.
- Federal Regulations: The title of paragraph 17 is now Federal Regulations – the language referencing FIRPTA has been revised for clarity, and new language has been added to comply with FinCEN’s Residential Real Estate Rule, effective March 1, 2026.
Updates to Seller’s Disclosure Statement (Form #2091)
- Electrical Section: New question added regarding awareness of active knob-and-tube wiring.
- Miscellaneous Section: Revised question to clarify whether the property is subject to a tax freeze; documentation must be attached if applicable. Removed “Explain below” language for clarity and consistency.
Compensation Clarifications in Authorization to Show Forms
These revisions clarify that the compensation received by a Buyer’s Agent (Form #2142) or Transaction Broker (Form #2142tb) from the owner on the Authorization to Show Form is for procuring a buyer for the property. This compensation is separate from any Buyer’s Broker compensation separately agreed upon in a written brokerage contract. These updates improve transparency for property owners and reinforce that compensation is negotiable.
Title & Survey Notice Split into Two Forms
The previous combined form has been separated into two standalone forms, and the formatting now mirrors the Inspection Notice for greater consistency across the forms library. The revisions also allow either party to capitulate. Creating a standardized method for documenting a client’s acceptance ensures a clear and consistent record, eliminating reliance on email or other informal correspondence.

Form #2090 (Residential Sale Contract)

2025 FORMS CHANGES
JULY 1, 2025 FORMS CHANGES
The following forms changes are effective on July 1, 2025:
The Residential Rental Listing Contract (#2048) and the Residential Lease (#2118) were revised to align more closely with the language used in the listing and sale contracts, particularly regarding broker compensation. To support these updates and ensure consistency, a new form, Broker Compensation Rider—Residential Lease (#2109a), was also created.
The new Appraisal Notice form (#2130) was created to provide a standardized process for addressing appraisal gaps when the appraised value is less than the purchase price.
Lastly, a universal change in terminology replaces “selling broker” with “Buyer’s broker” through the library of contracts and forms. This term is more commonly used in real estate license law, and MARIS implemented a similar change recently, as a result of changes being driven by the Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO) dictionary.
These changes are effective July 1, 2025, and the previous versions of each revised form will expire December 31, 2025.
