What is the eLIPSE portal in Massachusetts real estate?
eLIPSE (Electronic Licensing, Inspection, and Permitting System for Everyone) is the Massachusetts online portal for real estate license applications, renewals, and management. All licensees must use eLIPSE to apply for initial licenses, complete renewals, update contact information, and track CE completion.
Why is Massachusetts called an attorney closing state?
Massachusetts requires an attorney to oversee real estate closings. The attorney reviews the purchase and sale agreement, conducts the title examination, prepares closing documents, handles the recording of deeds, and ensures proper disbursement of funds. This is in contrast to 'escrow' states where title companies handle closings.
What is Chapter 111 lead paint law in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts Chapter 111, Section 197A requires disclosure and de-leading of lead paint hazards in homes built before 1978 where children under 6 reside. Sellers must provide a lead paint notification form, and property owners can be held strictly liable for lead poisoning injuries. De-leading must be performed by licensed contractors.
How does Chapter 93A affect real estate in Massachusetts?
Chapter 93A is Massachusetts' strong consumer protection statute that prohibits unfair and deceptive acts in trade and commerce, including real estate. Violations can result in double or triple damages, plus attorney's fees. Real estate licensees can be found liable under 93A for misrepresentation, failure to disclose material facts, and deceptive advertising.
