If buyers thought the form was incomplete, they shouldn't have acknowledged receipt of it. But they did, and the three days ran. The more your facts are consistent with "buyer's remorse" and not anything to do with the actual Form 17, the stronger your argument.<div><br></div><div>That's what I'd argue if I were you.

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"> RCW 64.06.030 requires a "completed" statement. However, it also states that the buyer has two options to exercise within three days, to rescind or to approve
and accept the statement. In this case the buyer approved and accepted. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"> Has the buyer waived the defect, either statutorily, or under the common law? I understand there is some conventional wisdom emanating from the MLS that the
buyer can rescind, but I think they tend to take conservative positions.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
