📋🏡 Selling your home in Texas? Let's talk about the seller's disclosure! 🏡📋
The seller's disclosure is one of the most important documents in a Texas home sale. It tells buyers what you know about your home's condition before they commit to buying. ✅
Here's what every seller should know:
📝 Most Texas sellers of single-family homes, condos, and townhomes are required to provide one
👤 The duty belongs to YOU, the seller, not your agent
⏰ It's due on or before the day the contract is signed, and if it's late, the buyer can back out within 7 days!
🏚️ Never lived in the home? You still generally have to provide one
🌊 Sellers must answer detailed questions about flooding and flood insurance claims
Some sellers ARE exempt, including:
⚖️ Foreclosure and court-ordered sales
🏛️ Executors selling a home from an estate
🏗️ Builders selling brand-new homes
👨👩👧 Certain transfers between spouses, co-owners, and family members
But here's the catch: being exempt from the form doesn't mean you can hide known problems. And selling "as is" doesn't remove your disclosure obligations either. ⚠️
We broke down who needs a seller's disclosure, what it covers, and all 11 exemptions under Texas law in our latest blog post. 👇
