Three types of contract contingencies you should know about Interested in an extra layer of protection when buying or selling property? Make sure you know about contingencies. Sometimes these are clauses written into your real estate contract or addenda to your contract that condition the contract upon the occurrence of a certain event. A contingency may give the parties the right to back out of the contract under certain circumstances, and might give you time to manage certain parts of the transaction before closing. Here are three common types of contingencies you may want to consider. Third-party financing A third-party financing contingency can benefit buyers. If buyers can’t obtain financing and properly notify the seller within the time frame outlined
in the agreement, they will be relinquished from penalties, including forfeiture of earnest money and the obligation to purchase the property. Selling one home before buying another If you need to sell your property before buying another, the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) has a contract addendum that permits buyers to terminate a contract if they can’t sell their present property before closing on a new home. The time frame is negotiable. If the buyer can’t meet the terms of the contingency, the contract will terminate, and the earnest money is refunded to the buyer. Alternatively, the buyer can waive the contingency. However, if a property garners a lot of interest, many sellers will think
twice before accepting an offer subject to the buyers selling their home. TREC’s addendum also protects sellers who agree to this contingency. If a seller receives a second offer and accepts it as a back-up contract, the seller may notify the first buyer of this second contract. At that point, the initial buyer can either terminate the first contract or waive the contingency.
Sellers usually like these contingencies because it makes it easy to pursue another buyer if the first one doesn’t work out. If the first deal does not terminate by the date specified or closes, the second buyer can move on without having invested extra time or money because the back-up contract terminates, and the earnest money is refunded to the second buyer.
Back-up offers Sometimes a buyer is interested in a property, but finds out the seller has a contract with another buyer. Since there’s a chance that deal could fall through, the second buyer can make an offer contingent on the first contract failing to close. TREC also has a contract addendum for this type of contingency.
Don’t be afraid to ask your Texas Realtor about the transaction process and how contingencies can help in your situation. Your Texas Realtor is there to help you with every step along the way. For more information on buying, selling, and leasing property in Texas, visit texasrealestate.com.

Five ways to redefine your outdoor space (BPT) - Winter’s coldest days make you appreciate spring and summer, as well as the warm afternoons spent outdoors enjoying these seasons. And when the time comes, there’s no better place to relax than in your own backyard. If your space isn’t all it could be, though, this is the perfect time for a little outdoor upgrade. Below are five projects you can tackle on your own to reinvent your backyard and turn it into the space you always knew it could be. * Landscape for the year. Landscaping provides a focal point in your yard, but don’t just landscape with the warmer months in mind - include plants for each season. Showcase blooming flowers and hostas in the warmer months, and pair them with evergreen conifers for a look that’s inviting all year long. * One-of-a-kind planter boxes. Showcase your most beauti-
ful blooms or delicious herbs in planter boxes made from Western Red Cedar. Western Red Cedar is ideal for planter boxes because it is naturally rot, decay and insect resistant. Plus, building the box is easy. You can learn how to build planter boxes of your own at Realcedar.com. * Sitting beside the fire. A fire pit is a great way to extend your backyard use into the evening hours, and giving the pit a professional look is easier than you think. Start by measuring the pit area and then build your wall of pavers. Surround the pit itself with gravel, additional pavers or another non-flammable substance, then add some comfy chairs and prepare to enjoy. * The all-in-one pergola. Whether you’re looking for a little shade, a centerpiece for the yard or the perfect spot to entertain, a pergola delivers. Building the pergola out of a lighter wood like Western Red Cedar will make the material
254-339-9883 kimfowlerhomes.com
easier to handle for any DIYer, and the appearance and smell of Western Red Cedar ensures your pergola will blend in naturally with the rest of your yard. You can find instructions for building your own pergola at Realcedar.com. * Let there be light. Enjoy your backyard any time of day with just a little lighting. Solar-powered path lights are a low-maintenance way to showcase your new landscaping, and hanging track lighting can bring an evening glow to your pergola. Finally, don’t forget tiki torches. Adding a couple will give your backyard a rustic feel and keep the mosquitos away at the same time. What could be better than that?

If you’re selling your home your home, your location, neighborhood and school district are predetermined. Yet there is plenty you can do yourself to make sure your open house has that wow factor and captivates would-be buyers. Here are five tips to get you started so that next family will determine your home is the perfect home. * Get clean. It sounds simple, but it’s amazing how many homeowners don’t clean their homes before an open house. This is one case where lived-in isn’t going to cut it. The kitchen and bathrooms should be spotless, cracked tiles should be repaired and any plumbing issues should be addressed. Expect that people will try the sinks and flush the toilets. If you don’t feel you can get your home ready on your own, hire a professional cleaning service to do the job for you. The money you spend on the cleaners will be well worth it when your house sells quickly. * Add a fresh scent to the air. Your home should be pleasing to the eye as well as pleasing to the nose. Realtors have recognized the benefits of great smells for years. You can keep your home smelling great throughout the showing - and without

(BPT) - What makes a person or a family decide a home is the perfect for them? Is it all location, location, location? What about price, schools or the neighborhood? Or is it something else; a feeling they get when they walk in the door, a detail they notice or a scent in the air.

Five ways to get buyers to see your open house as their next house
synthetic ingredients by using pure essential oils from Aura Cacia. Try this simple recipe to create a warm, comforting atmosphere that can help put potential property buyers at ease with these recipes: 1 cup coarse-grained, chunky sea salt 1 teaspoon jojoba or grapeseed oil (just enough to make the salts glisten) 25 drops vanilla precious essential oil 10 drops lavender essential oil 10 drops sweet orange essential oil Mix salt and oils, pour into a decorative dish or bowl and set out on a table. Placing the crystals in a warm sunny window or near a heat register will help diffuse the delicious aroma throughout the room. Stir in additional essential oils to boost the scent as needed. More recipe ideas and open house tips can be found at www.auracacia.com. * Time for a makeover. If your home needs a more substantial makeover before it can sell, focus your energy and your money on the most important rooms in the home. Kitchens and master bedrooms sell homes, meaning that a granite countertop, new appliance or fresh coat of bedroom paint will give you a
better chance to sell your home than other projects may allow. * Cut the clutter. Even the cleanest homes still feel messy if there’s lots of clutter. Before your open house, adopt a minimalist approach and keep your home as clutter-free as possible. Remember, you want buyers to see the beauty of your home, not simply the items you keep in it. * Start at the curb. Poor curb appeal can put buyers off to your home before they even step foot inside. Make sure your home’s outside is every bit as beautiful as the inside. Paint the exterior if you need to, plant flowers in the flower bed and mow the lawn. Buyers should never walk up to your front door already thinking it’s a fixerupper.
