A buyer and seller in Norman, Oklahoma are negotiating a purchase agreement. The seller delivers the Property Condition Disclosure Statement after the buyer has made an offer but before the seller accepts it. What must occur before the offer may be accepted under the current Oklahoma Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act?

Correct Answer

Under 60 O.S. §834, if the disclaimer or disclosure statement is delivered after an offer to purchase has been made, the offer may be accepted only after the purchaser has acknowledged receipt and confirmed the offer in writing. The current OREC 2025 booklet does not state a five-business-day rescission window for this situation.

Answer Options

The seller may accept immediately, and the buyer then has five business days to rescind
B
The purchaser must acknowledge receipt of the statement and confirm the offer in writing before acceptance
C
The disclosure can wait until closing if the buyer receives an inspection period
D
Only the listing broker must acknowledge receipt; purchaser confirmation is unnecessary
