- What rules apply to a buyer who is purchasing property in Texas from a foreign seller?
- Is having a signed written agreement, such as TAR’s Residential Buyer/Tenant Representation Agreement, the only way for a broker to create an agency relationship with a buyer?
- My sister is looking for a new home, and I’m acting as her buyer’s agent. Am I required by TREC rules or the Code of Ethics to disclose to the seller that the buyer is my sister?
- Can I charge a fee to provide a broker price opinion or comparative market analysis to an owner, buyer, or lender?
- I’m representing the buyer in a transaction. He gave me his earnest money check and now the contract is fully executed. When do I have to deposit the earnest money with the escrow agent named in the contract?
- Can the lack of the lender’s underwriting approval of the property still result in the termination of the contract even though the time has already passed for the buyer to give notice to terminate the contract under the Third Party Financing Addendum?
- I represent a buyer who is interested in several properties and wants me to find out what the owners paid to purchase these properties. I represented one of the owners when he bought his property, but the sales-price information is in the MLS. Can I tell my new client the price that my former client paid for the property?
- I was the listing agent for a property that didn’t sell but was listed by another broker after the expiration of my agreement. I now have a buyer client who wants to see that same property. Must the new broker, or my broker, designate me as an appointed licensee, or how may I otherwise act?
