NDA in Real Estate
An NDA in real estate prevents parties from disclosing information such as sale price, property condition, agreement terms, or the fact that the property is on the market. By not allowing certain information to get out, sellers can protect their interests and position in future negotiations.
For example, unauthorized disclosures of a property’s sale price may affect the seller’s leverage in future negotiations with other interested parties.
