Para. 3C — Offer price
›
We are offering $307,000 for the property. This is the price the seller will either accept, counter, or reject.
🏦
Para. 5A — Earnest money
›
Your earnest money deposit is $3,000. It is due within 3 days of acceptance — meaning within 3 days of both buyer and seller signing the contract.
The title company will send you instructions on how to deliver it. You will either wire the funds, drop off a check, or they will mail you a FedEx label. I will reach out as soon as we hear from them!
🔧
Para. 7D(1) — As-is condition
›
You are accepting the property in its current condition — which is the condition we believe it to be in. This does NOT mean you cannot inspect it! If we find major repairs needed we can ask the seller to repair or credit you.
Because this is a relocation contract there is no option period. However you have until June 28, 2026 to submit any repair requests to the seller.
📅
Para. 9A — Close date
›
Your target closing date is July 16, 2026. That is the day you get the keys and officially become homeowners!
🧾
Para. 12A(1)(c) — Closing costs
›
I asked the seller to contribute up to $10,000 toward your closing costs. This helps reduce the amount of cash you need to bring to the closing table.
🏛
FHA financing addendum — Your loan
›
This offer is conditioned on both financing and appraisal.
Appraisal: This happens after the home inspection. If the home does not appraise for the contract price, we can renegotiate with the seller. If the seller does not agree, you can terminate the contract and receive your full deposit back.
Lender approval: You have 21 days from the effective date to get fully approved by your lender (by July 9, 2026). If you are not approved in this window you get your deposit back.
Important: After the 21-day window, if you cancel for any reason you will be in default and the earnest money is non-refundable.

Other documents in your package

⚠️ Wire fraud warning
There is a lot of wire fraud activity in real estate. I will never ask you to wire money via email. Always call me directly to verify any wiring instructions before sending funds.
🤝 Buyer representation agreement
You only pay real estate commission when you sell, not when you buy. This confirms you are working with me and that I am paid by the seller.
ℹ️ Information about brokerage services (IABS)
Required by Texas law. This outlines how agents can represent parties in a transaction so you understand exactly how I am working for you.
🔗 Affiliated business arrangement disclosure
eXp Realty has business relationships with certain service providers like lenders and title companies. You are not required to use any of them — you are free to shop around.
Your inspection guide
This is more than just a home inspection — check off every item below before moving on.
⚠️ This is more than a home inspection
Many buyers think the inspection period is only for inspections — it is not. This is your time to complete any research that could impact your decision to move forward. Remember we have 10 days to send the seller our repair request, and the seller also has time to respond. After our deadline you will be contractually committed to the purchase.
🎉 You completed all checklist items — great work!

What to expect from your inspection
›
The inspector's job is to report every issue they find — big or small — both inside and outside the home. Reports are typically 25+ pages long. Most items will be simple weekend projects. We are specifically looking for big-ticket items:
🏗 Foundation
🏚 Roof
⚡ Electrical
💧 Plumbing
❄️ HVAC
I highly recommend you attend the inspection. Plan to arrive during the last 30–45 minutes so the inspector can walk you through their findings in person.
You can bring family along — but this time is really best spent listening to the inspector so you can get to know your new home!

Verify the schools assigned to this property if this is important to you. School boundaries can sometimes be different than expected based on the address.

Plan to arrive for the last 30–45 minutes of the appointment. The inspector will walk you through their findings in person — this is your chance to ask questions and really get to know the home.
⚠️
Share concerns with Vivian — act fast!
›
This is the only time you have the unrestricted right to terminate the contract. Share any inspection concerns with Vivian right away — you only have 10 days to submit repair requests to the seller, and they also need time within that window to respond and possibly get estimates. The sooner the better!
