Transaction Review Options
Transaction Review Options: Standard Compliance vs. Enhanced Broker Review
Ashby & Graff provides two levels of transaction file review. Agents select their preferred option at the time a new transaction is reported.
Understanding the distinction between these two services is important.
Standard Compliance Review
Included with your brokerage services
The Standard Compliance Review is part of the brokerage’s supervisory responsibilities under California law.
This review confirms:
- Required statutory disclosures are present
- Required forms are included in the file
- Signatures, initials, and dates are complete
- The file meets minimum regulatory requirements
This review is administrative and compliance-focused. It does not include substantive evaluation of contract terms, drafting quality, or transaction structure.
Agents remain fully responsible for:
- Drafting and placement of contract provisions
- Clear written disclosure of material facts
- Documentation of leases, liens, credits, and financial obligations
- Overall transaction management and fiduciary duties
Enhanced Broker Review
$995 per transaction
Agents may elect to add an Enhanced Broker Review when submitting a transaction.
This optional, fee-based service provides broker-level review of the file at a substantive level and includes:
- Review of material contract terms
- Evaluation of documentation related to leases, liens, solar systems, credits, and financing structures
- Assessment of clarity and placement of key provisions
- Written feedback identifying areas that may benefit from clarification or additional disclosure
The Enhanced Broker Review is advisory and risk-focused.
It does not:
- Transfer responsibility from the agent to the broker
- Guarantee elimination of risk
- Constitute legal advice
The agent remains responsible for all aspects of representation and transaction management.
When Should You Select Enhanced Review?
Enhanced Broker Review is appropriate for agents who want an additional layer of broker-level oversight or risk management prior to closing.
Agents may request broker guidance at any time during a transaction, regardless of which review option was selected at intake.
