Breaking News: Governor Signs Bill S3192/A4454 Into Law
New Jersey Realtors® commends the signing of the Real Estate Consumer Protection Enhancement Act into law today by Gov. Phil Murphy. New Jersey Realtors® worked with the sponsors of Bill S3192/A4454 Senator Patrick Diegnan and Assemblyman Roy Freiman to craft this legislation, which will enhance transaction transparency and further protect consumers throughout the state. The law, which went into effect on Aug. 1, 2024 strengthens both consumer and real estate licensee protections.
The following are the six major changes the law provides for:
- Sellers must provide a fully completed property condition disclosure form before buyers sign a contract.
- Listing agents will be required to explicitly disclose who they represent at open houses.
- Designated agency, which enables a brokerage to appoint an agent to either side of a transaction at the client’s request, is now permissible.
- All real estate licensees will be required to use brokerage agreements, which outline services they will provide to all clients over the course of a respective transaction.
- Sellers’ agents can no longer disclose compensation in Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) or notify MLSs about cooperative compensation.
- Continuing education classes on agency are now required.
NJ Realtors® is looking at all forms and contracts to ensure they conform with the new statute.

The Come on Home Real Estate Podcast is a place to get information on real estate, but I have to confess, I never thought we'd tackle something as specialized as pool inspections. But that's exactly what we did in this episode.
As you know, buying a home is a big decision, and one that should always involve a professional home inspection. This episode featured a guest, Michele DiCorcio, from A to Z Pool Inspections. We got to chat with her about how buying a home with a pool adds another layer of complexity to the inspections.
First, we covered the vital role of an inground pool inspection before closing on a home. We wanted to know what to look for during an inspection. Our pool expert detailed the things we should be aware of.
Then we talked about the maintenance of inground pools. As I said, not my area of expertise. But pool inspections are important year-round, Michele explained. Not just when it comes time to sell the property. This episode provides valuable insights for anyone considering a home with a pool, ensuring they make an informed decision and maintain their investment properly.

On this 3rd episode of the Come on Home real estate podcast, we're joined by Cassandra O'Neil, a Home Inspector. We'll be discussing the different home inspection options available and what you can anticipate during the process. I particularly enjoyed this episode because Cassandra clearly explains what home inspectors look for during an inspection and how their comprehensive report can be advantageous for both your real estate agent and yourself.

Estate Planning is Essential
Do not delay; ensure your legal documentation is properly arranged at your earliest convenience.
A WILL is a legal document that outlines how you'd like your assets distributed after you pass away. Without a Will, your assets are distributed according to state law (NJ laws in this case). A will can include:
- Who inherits your property (people or charities)
- Guardians for minor kids
- An executor to manage your estate
A TRUST is a legal arrangement where you (the grantor) transfer assets to a trustee to manage for beneficiaries. Types include revocable (changeable) and irrevocable (fixed). It's like a flexible container for your assets, allowing you to:
- Avoid probate
- Reduce estate taxes
- Manage assets for minors or beneficiaries
- Maintain privacy
- Asset protection from creditors
- Medicaid planning
A DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY (DPA) is a legal document which enables individuals to appoint an "agent" to manage their financial and legal matters in the event of their incapacitation. This "durable" authority persists until rescinded by the grantor or upon their passing.
This "agent" can:
- Manage bank accounts
- Pay bills
- Handle investments
- Make business decisions
A LIVING WILL is a document that outlines your medical treatment preferences if you're terminally ill or unable to communicate. It specifies things like medical treatment preferences:
* Life-sustaining treatments (e.g., ventilators, feeding tubes)
* Pain management
* Other end-of-life care wishes
A HEALTHCARE POWER OF ATTORNEY (HCPA) empowers you to designate someone to make medical decisions on your behalf when you are unable to do so. This "agent" collaborates with your healthcare providers, ensuring your care aligns with your values and wishes. It's like having a dependable advocate who understands your preferences and can act quickly when necessary.
LIFETIME CARE typically refers to a type of long-term care planning that provides support and services for individuals who need assistance with daily living activities over their lifetime. This can include in-home care, assisted living, nursing home care, adult day care, and hospice care. The goal is to ensure you receive the right care, in the right setting, at the right time, often protecting your assets and preserving your legacy.
This can include:
- In-home care
- Assisted living
- Nursing home care
- Adult day care
- Hospice care
Protecting your future and loved ones requires professional legal advice. Estate planning is complex, so a qualified ATTORNEY ensures your intentions are accurately documented and legally compliant. They will guide you through the process, customizing solutions to your specific needs, giving you peace of mind knowing your assets and legacy are protected.
Generally, the process of establishing an estate plan with an ATTORNEY can take from several weeks to a few months. This timeline is contingent upon several factors, including the complexity of the estate, the responsiveness of the attorney, and the client's ability to provide necessary information promptly. Simpler plans, such as wills and powers of attorney, can often be completed more quickly, while trusts or estates involving complex assets may require a more extended timeframe.
