How written guarantees remove the financial risk from a Texas transaction.
Guides to buyer protection in Texas real estate: earnest money, the option period, contract deadlines, and the 13 written guarantees behind every deal.
Most of the money a Texas buyer stands to lose is lost on paperwork, not on houses. Earnest money forfeited to a missed option-period deadline, a financing contingency that quietly expired, a closing date nobody amended in writing. These guides explain how the Texas contract actually protects you and where that protection ends.
They also explain what happens when protection fails. Conner backs every transaction with 13 written guarantees, including a personal check covering your earnest money if it is ever forfeited, a paid home inspection, $0 buyer commission, and $100 accountability payments for any missed commitment. The guarantees are signed before you sign anything.
All thirteen are listed in full on the buyer protection page, each with the dollar amount attached to it.
What is earnest money, how much do Texas buyers put down, and when can you actually lose it? A Fort Worth agent explains the option period and the rules.
Earnest money is the good-faith deposit a buyer delivers once an offer is accepted, held in escrow by a title company. In DFW it typically runs about 1% of the purchase price, and it is credited back to you against your down payment and closing costs at the table.
Yes. If your earnest money is forfeited for any reason during a transaction Conner represents, he writes you a personal check for the full amount out of his own pocket. The commitment is in the written agreement Conner signs before you do.
The option period is a short paid window, usually five to ten days, during which a Texas buyer can terminate for any reason and get the earnest money back. After it expires, your protection comes only from the specific contract provisions still in force.
Paid inspection, guaranteed earnest money, $0 buyer commission, cancel by text anytime, and $100 if Conner is ever late or misleading. Start with a free 10-minute Initial Consultation.
