Here’s a great article from MetroTex for more information- Be in the know NOW! Appraisal Reporting is Changing – Texas REALTORS®

Appraisal Reports Are Changing: What To Know



Important changes are happening with home appraisals. Appraisers are beginning to use a new, more detailed report, and it will be required for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac appraisal submissions beginning November 2, 2026. The new report is designed to be easier for buyers and sellers to understand, with clearer explanations, photos placed beside the items being described, and more information about the home, improvements, property condition, market trends, outbuildings, solar panels, internet access, and other features.



The biggest thing to prepare your clients for is that the appraiser may ask more questions or request additional information. Sellers should begin gathering:

• A list of improvements, including approximate dates

• A previous survey, if available

• Information about additions, detached buildings, solar panels, or special property features

• Any documents that help explain the home and its condition



Accurate MLS information will also be more important than ever. The more complete and factual the information is at the beginning, the easier it should be for the appraiser to understand the property and make fair comparisons.



Advice is to start preparing this information early and build a little flexibility into the appraisal timeline while appraisers and lenders adjust to the new system. Also remind your clients that seeing more information in the appraisal does not necessarily mean every item affected the home’s value. The goal is a clearer report that helps everyone better understand how the appraiser reached the final opinion of value.

Sometimes real estate is about so much more than contracts and closing dates.

This home hit the market in Ben Wheeler and was under contract in just 3 days. But the amazing part wasn’t how fast it sold—it was who it sold to. True testimony of trusting faith✨

The buyer came all the way from New Mexico… the very same hometown where the seller’s wife grew up. A connection no one could have planned. The perfect buyer was sent at exactly the right time.

I’ve learned that while we work hard to market homes, negotiate contracts, and guide clients through the process, God is often working behind the scenes, connecting the right people in ways we could never orchestrate ourselves.

This closing is a reminder that sometimes the best real estate stories aren’t about the sale—they’re about the divine timing that brought everyone together.

Congratulations to the Moore family, and thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey. Welcome to Canton,Texas Y’all !❤️🏡🙏

Email From our Corp office.. find one that cares to give you motivation on monday's ;)

Good Morning!

There is a big difference between being right and doing what is right. Being right means winning an argument with facts, while doing what is right means choosing a kind and honest action. Winning an argument feeds our pride, but helping others brings true peace. We should care less about proving our point and more about doing good.

Years ago, Tami Bonnell shared with me that the key to a successful negotiation is when both parties feel like they won. Whether in business, friendship or your relationship, sometimes to do what is right is not necessarily to concede, but rather to understand where the other person is coming from and what is going to get you both what you want. I believe sometimes you have to ask yourself "is it really that big of a deal if I don't get my way", and the answer is usually no. Sometimes in fact, you win now...but pay later!

Take this week to evaluate your conversations and decide to do what is right instead of being right.
