Don't Throw Away That Home Inspection Report or Repair Receipts—It Could Save You Thousands Later

One of the most significant updates to the recent Texas REALTORS® Seller's Disclosure Notice is something many homeowners may overlook.

Sellers are now asked to disclose whether they have received reports, inspections, or evaluations related to the condition of the property—and what repairs were recommended or completed within the last FOUR years.

That means the inspection report from when you purchased your home, the roof inspection after a hailstorm, the HVAC service records, plumbing and electricial repairs, foundation reports, mold testing, or engineer's reports may all become important when it's time to sell.

My advice? Start a "Home File Now."

Keep copies of:
✔️ Home inspection reports
✔️ Roof inspections and repairs
✔️ HVAC service records
✔️ Plumbing and electrical work
✔️ Foundation evaluations
✔️ Termite and pest reports
✔️ Warranties
✔️ Permits
✔️ Receipts for major repairs and improvements

Not only can these records help you complete your Seller's Disclosure more accurately, but they also build buyer confidence, reduce last-minute surprises, and can make your transaction much smoother.

The best time to organize your home's records isn't when you decide to sell—it's today.

The more documentation you have, the better prepared you'll be when that day comes.

What’s catching my eye as a local in Dallas making plans for the summer 👉🏼

My friends will tell you, I can’t help myself… If I find a good spot, it’s getting screenshotted and you’re hearing about it whether you asked or not!!

New openings, local favorites, and the events worth showing up for, in one place (hello, patio season, live music nights, and all the Uptown + Bishop Arts + Knox/Henderson hangs) 🥂

So now I need to know, what’s one Dallas spot you’ve been loving lately that deserves a spot on everyone’s summer list?

Dallas really said “here’s your new personality trait” and it’s Salt & Straw 🍦🤍

Their motto is “we highly recommend tasting it all” and honestly… they weren’t kidding. Every flavor feels so creative, they’re literally smashing, drizzling, ribboning, and sprinkling ingredients together in ways I would’ve never thought of, but somehow it all works!!

Definitely not your average ice cream stop!!
