Frisco Texas Mortgage, Real Estate, Events, and more

I serve many Frisco TX home buyers and sellers. As a Frisco TX real estate listing agent, I always tell my sellers, "I like to take care of business right at the beginning. I have a positive attitude. When I put the sign on the market, I expect it to sell. Hence, I take care of all paperwork I need upfront. I don't like scrambling for stuff in the middle of the process.When I get a contract, I want my sellers to concentrate on negotiating. We will not be hunting for necessary paperwork".

I can say I train my sellers well.

Here are some of the important documents Frisco TX home sellers will need as part of the sale of their home:

 

• 

  Survey

• T-47 if you are using an existing survey in the transaction
• Mortgage payoff authorization (consists of your lender’s information, mortgage account information, and last 4-digits of your social security number)

Survey

The survey details the property boundaries, building setback lines and easements. The survey must have a clear and legible surveyor’s stamp also. Existing surveys are allowed to be used a new real estate transaction.

T-47: Texas Residential Real Property Affidavit

The T-47 affidavit goes alongside the survey used for the real estate transaction. With using the T-47, it states that the current owners have no made improvements or changes to the property that could affect the use of the existing survey. Changes that would include:

• adding new structures such as swimming pool, room additions or extensions, or other permanent structures.
• change the location of fences
• construction projects on immediate adjoining property that encroach the property

By stating “NONE” – it states that the owner (to the best of the knowledge) does not know of any changes made (listed above).

The T-47 affidavit should be signed in front of the notary.Then, delivered to the title company along with the survey when the transaction is executed.

Upon closing, the T-47 affidavit will be requested to be signed again.

Best practice should include signing the T-47 even before the property comes on the market. When an offer is presented, concentrate on negotiating the offer, instead of running around trying to get the T-47 notarized.

 

Mortgage Payoff Authorization

The mortgage payoff authorization can be a simple request letter (with the mortgage information listed) that the owners authorize the title company to request a mortgage payoff authorization.
