Do you need a release of earnest money for when you terminate under the option period?

We were pre approved for 350k. But we want to make an offer on a 370k house. We have the funds to provide that 20k cash to make up for the difference. Do those 20k count as a down payment? Or are we still required to put more down?

what about the earnest money deposit by credit card ??/ and the Loan not approved.. will I can get my money back ?,,, thank you

I don’t agree with the housing industry protocol as a veteran that has served I feel your whole industry is money grubbing if the seller is getting the VA home loan money why give the earnest money always gotta insulate the seller the agency but never no incentive to the buyer

Dont know if i missed it but whats your recommendation for guests/cleaners eg airbnb and you want a back up key storage? Where to stores the keys then

I literally had an agent who showed the house and then just left the key in my front door. Not inside the house, but in the door. They had NO idea when I would be back to the house, and while granted it was a very safe neighborhood, that was a bizarre oversight or inconsideration.

Who picks up the lockbox and when do you pick it up

the house flooded after I paid the inspector and I pulled out of the deal. title company lied and said the check was in the mail for 3 weeks. I never got my earnest money back So I called the owners of the title company in florida and they fedex'd my money. they will try anything to keep your money.

Plano area definitely not happy with HOA threatening with violation after violation for front yard with pictures of neatly mowed and edged stating it needed mowing and edging becoming hard to find the expectations and live up to HOA expectations any laws on yard maintenance that HOA can request for?

Good clear and concise explanation. Is the closing disclosure just a final version of the loan estimate?

Great video! (Dumb question) using your example, if the Seller agrees to pay the Buyer the cost of replacing and installing a water heater, how, is that agreed upon amount, dispersed to the Buyer? As a check at the closing table?

Hatchie booming

Can EMD be returned ,if the buyer did not get approved for FHA loan and the contingency time had passed?

Another great video! Thank you for keeping us informed on real estate happenings in the area. I would love to show you our Drees Inventory homes at Colby Crossing and Rockwood Mansfield next time you are in the area. We have some fantastic deals and reductions going on. Laura - Drees Rep.

Most of these lock boxes got videos all over the CZcams shows how you open them easily less than a minute especially the first popular one the Master lock, none of them is good to keep your expensive asset, or keep the house secured

You are full of useful information. Thanks so much

I will NEVER buy a home in an HOA.

Burleson Tx .. awesome!!

Love your teaching style. You know how to keep control of your conversation

How many months can we use the pool in texas?

I lived in a neighborhood where trees were planted next to the curb. The trees grew up and caused many problems. The roots found their way into the sewage lines and also caused the sidewalks to buckle. I read that Dallas is in the "flood alley". Is Mansfield subject to flooding? I drove thru TX along the 10 fwy. I could smell a lot of smog in the air. What is the quality of the air?

As a buyers agent how are you going to charge your buyers going forward?

Hi so if a get that paper means that i got approved or its not guaranteed

I never deal with these pompous real estate agents ever.

Come on down to Waxahachie, Everyone else has. All they are doing is building homes by the Thousands, traffic is worst by the day, if that's not bad enough The train runs through the down town area about 10 times a day It seems like. That's good for a 15-minute delay , most of the Restaurants are packed. Stores Are crazy busy . Not enough Business to support the boom . The roads are packed with bad Drivers, everywhere you turn There is a new giant R.V. park. Soon, Waxahachie will be another Frisco, the though of Going to town is a nightmare. Come on down and add to the Problem. Hell, I might even sell You my home so I can get out Of this man made disaster .

Way over priced

MTG sells real estate in Texas??

Love the green cabinets but I didn’t like the placement of the side windows in the primary bedroom as I think it would make furniture placement difficult.

These are things I never thought of. Great info

Not only did the realtor not disclose, she sent a map saying the flood zone was other side of highway and come to find out it flooded 3 times.

For the option. If the option period is up, can they still back out of the contract even though their option period is over

Thanks for this valuable video!

Realtors should stop accepting earnest money. Sells should ask for TOM fee. Earnest money can end both parties in court.

Hey thank you for your video… I’m a realtor struggling for the first time in my career with getting my client’s house sold. First I made the mistake of going along with the seller’s decision to price high and list in the fall. I’ve had showings and feedback all said either “priced too high or outdated”. I’ve been marketing on social media, email blasts, and staging nothing has worked 😢

Horrible

Maybe we should be talking about false claims. My house wasn’t flooded but some of the neighbors were .. yet I’m the lowest one one the block ..

Hi beautiful Danae names of popular subdivisions in Mansfield

Danae..I need solid good advice. The seller accepted our offer on a home but with contingencies that the septic passed. It did not pass and our contract was over on 2.6.2024 without any extensions or updates to the contract. In the meantime...the seller passed away and my earnest money is being held by a title company as seller did not have a will and the seller is not available to sign the release of earnest money form. Is there anything I can do to be proactive? A form to fill and submit to the courts? Anything to present to the seller's realtor/agent giving like a 72 hour deadline? Or something of that nature? I should not be expected to wait for months to get this money back as we have moved on and are purchasing another home.

Beautiful

Why dont you show the insides of the homes??? just a pic doesnt cut it...

The best way to avoid any HOA nonsense is to tell your realtor that you will not even consider a property that is in an HOA neighborhood. A neighborhood that I lived in tried to form an HOA after I had bought a house there and told me that I had no choice but to be in it. WRONG. Read your civil codes . In my state, if you purchase a house where there is no existing HOA your property is exempt from joining if you choose not to.

I seriously don’t even know where I am at

So if the HOA foreclose on a home purchaser that means the HOA is taking over that mortgage being they wasn't in first position on that loan?

Thanks! Definitely informative. I am in Florida, from DFW. I plan to return in 2025. I hope to buy then.

Did you mention the DFW Outer Loop freeway cutting through? I notice a lot of people are realizing they want to move away.

Excellent!

Just think. The average home in hachie use to cost about $150k. Now that mass Californians and New Yorkers have moved in, the average home is well over $350k.

Hello, I'm Cynthia and planning to move to Burleson next year with my family from Nigeria. I want to know more about racism there.

The price per sq foot in Dallas is a joke. The city is a typical dirty blue bubble full of trash, graffiti and homeless. You don't notice it when single no kids, but once we did were disgusted and left. I lived by Bishop Arts, then Stevens Park Village. The schools are also a hot mess, no way we'd send our kids. Moved to Prairie Ridge, right in-between Midlothian and Mansfield. Brand new house twice the size for basically even money, we left near perfect time. Ugh the stray cats in Dallas are also terrible, cat piss over everything. We do miss the mature tees, new construction you get a few Charlee brown trees basically. Buy something in the hood that looks to be getting gentrified, then leave after the value pops like we did.
