A buyer in Durant, Oklahoma submits an offer for a residential property on Monday. The seller’s agent delivers the Property Condition Disclosure Statement on Thursday before the seller accepts. Under the current Oklahoma Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act, what should happen before the seller accepts the offer?

Correct Answer

B) The buyer must acknowledge receipt of the disclosure and confirm the offer in writing

Under 60 O.S. §834, when a disclaimer or disclosure statement is delivered after an offer to purchase has been made, the offer may be accepted only after the purchaser acknowledges receipt and confirms the offer in writing. The current OREC 2025 booklet does not support the prior five-business-day rescission framing.

Answer Options
A
The buyer must wait seven calendar days before the seller may accept
B
The buyer must acknowledge receipt of the disclosure and confirm the offer in writing
C
The seller may accept immediately because delivery after an offer never affects acceptance
D
The buyer has no right to receive a disclosure once an offer has already been made
