The Texas Real Estate Commission has created the TREC forms to ensure that all parties in a transaction have an equitable and fair experience. These forms should be used only by licensed sales agents and brokers who have been taught how to properly use them. TREC forms are not meant to be used by anyone without proper training or guidance.
TREC 1-4 contracts
TREC 1-4 is one of the most popular and standardized contracts in Texas. It can also be found in many other states. It is used in a wide variety of transactions. It is designed to be a complete real estate contract that can be used to document a home sale.
It is a contract which should be signed by all the parties. It is meant to be simple to read and understand so that both buyers and sellers can protect their interests.
The TREC 4-4 contract provides a range of addenda that address most of the concerns sellers have about their real estate sales. However, it is possible for a transaction to require additional provisions or addenda that are not included in the TREC 4-4 forms.
If a seller has heirship issues to title, it may need to be addressed to allow the sale to proceed. There may be claims of encroachments, protrusions and other problems that the seller has on the property. These should be addressed. In these cases, the seller would need to have the opportunity to cure such objections by a specific time period.
If the seller is unable to resolve these objections within a specified time, the buyer may be eligible for a refund. This is true even if there was no expense incurred by the seller in attempting to resolve these objections.
These types of issues can be dealt with using a custom special provisions addendum. An attorney experienced in these issues can prepare a special provision addendum.
In this way, the added text of the addendum can provide a more detailed description of what will be included in the sale and how it will proceed. In addition, the addendum can be drafted to include additional seller representations and warranties that will enhance the seller's interests in the sale.
A real estate lawyer can also create a special provisions addition. The attorneys at signNow can help you create a customized special provisions addendum that is tailored to the needs of your specific transaction.
A broker or real estate agent can use TREC forms as a valuable tool. They are available online for free and can be filled out, eSigned and printed. These forms can be used to help you get started on your transaction. These forms can be used to save both time and money when you are selling or purchasing a home.
