🏡 Real estate contracts don't end when everyone signs them. Sometimes, that's when the legal questions begin.

Many buyers, sellers, REALTORS®, and even attorneys assume a contract amendment must expressly say "Delete" or "Replace" before it changes existing contract language.

But is that actually how Tennessee courts determine the legal effect of an executed agreement?

In the first entry of The Jesse Gonzalez Legal Notebook, I explore that question and explain why the answer may begin with the rules of contract construction rather than drafting conventions.

Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or simply interested in Tennessee real estate law, I hope you'll find it both informative and thought-provoking.

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR HOME SELLERS

Beginning June 1, some Middle Tennessee listings may no longer appear on Zillow due to a disagreement between Zillow and Realtracs (our local MLS) regarding listing display policies.

What does this mean for sellers?

For most homeowners, very little.

Your property will continue to receive exposure through the MLS, Realtor.com, Homes.com, Redfin, brokerage websites, agent networks, buyer searches, and the many other platforms that real estate professionals use every day.

At Liberty House Realty, our focus has always been on getting your home in front of qualified buyers, not relying on any single website.

The reality is that homes sell because they are properly priced, professionally marketed, and exposed to the right buyers. That process remains unchanged.

If you have questions about how your property is being marketed, we're always happy to discuss your options and make sure your listing strategy aligns with your goals.

Blank spaces in a purchase agreement are often treated like harmless drafting issues. They are not always harmless.

I just published a new article on why material blanks in Tennessee real estate contracts can create unnecessary risk for clients, and why incomplete drafting may be more than just a paperwork problem.

If you work in real estate, law, title, lending, or transactions generally, I think this is an issue worth paying attention to. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Give a Like, Share or Comment on LinkedIn. Thank you.
