The Ins and Outs of the One to Four Family Residential ContractCE

The One to Four Family Residential Contract (Resale) is the document at the center of nearly every residential transaction in Texas — and the better you know it, the better you serve your clients. In this 2-hour class, Ashley Cook walks through the contract paragraph by paragraph, breaking down what each section actually does, where deals tend to go sideways, and how to spot issues before they become problems.

What we'll cover:

• The Parties, The Property, and getting the legal description right

• Sales Price, financing addenda, and leases

• Earnest Money and the Termination Option

• Title Policy and Survey — commitment, T-47, objections, and required notices

• Property Condition — Seller's Disclosure, "AS IS," and lender required repairs

• Brokers' Fees, Closing, and Possession (including the seller leaseback)

• Special Provisions, Settlement Expenses, Prorations, and Casualty Loss

• Default, Mediation, Escrow disputes, and Notices

Whether you're new to the business or a seasoned agent sharpening your contract knowledge, you'll leave with a stronger command of the document you use most.
