A house comes with keys. The ground around it also has a history: where water gathers, which gate sticks, who serviced the septic system and what needs attention next. Take a little time to pass that knowledge along.
Use this at a handover conversation or fill in what you know after moving in. Agents can share the link or print a blank copy for their clients. Unknown is a useful answer; it tells the next person where to ask.

Property handover checklist
A conversation for the buyer, seller and agent. Keep unknowns visible and identify the source of each answer.
Your entries stay in this tab and are not sent to Moss & Sons. Copy or print before leaving; this worksheet does not save entries for a later visit. No account is needed. Record checkboxes mean a document was provided separately; there is no upload here.
This worksheet records a conversation. It is not a survey, inspection, disclosure form, warranty assessment or substitute for sale documents. An answer marked known reflects what was explained, not independent verification. Share sensitive records through an agreed private channel.

When an answer needs checking
Ask the local Environmental Health office for available septic permits and drawings; missing or uncertain locations need qualified confirmation. EPA explains how to obtain records and why the system deserves attention before and after a purchase. The official property data desk connects you with local starting points.
Keep the record and the decision separate. A drawing may help you ask a better question; it does not confirm present field conditions or authorize digging.
A Moss & Sons property walk helps organize practical outdoor work. Scope, price and availability are agreed first. It does not replace the specialists or transaction professionals responsible for other questions.
