Purchase And Sale Agreement
Texas
Does a wholesaler need to be at closing?
As a wholesale from another state trying to execute a purchase and sale agreement on a property, do i need to be physically present in that state to complete this process. For example, i live in Texas. The property is in California. How do i conduct a purchase and sale agreement with a seller or their real estate agent. I live in Texas. I am trying to execute a purchase and sale agreement with a seller or their real estate agent who live in California.
Rebecca S.
The short answer is you can be an out of state purchaser but you need to right support team behind you. Signing the contract can be done electronically and you don’t need to be in California to do that. Either a real estate attorney or hiring your own agent.

Contract for Deed
Texas
Need help with a property issue
My wife and I took over a house from a friend in August of 2008 due to his job transfer from Houston to Nigeria. We agreed to the following terms: We will continue paying the mortgage plus a second loan attached, apply for mortgage approval, and change ownership to our name. We had a written agreement. We applied for a loan in 2009 but was not approved due to poor credit. We decided to wait and continue paying and reducing the outstanding before reapplying. In August of 2021, we reapplied and were given a loan approval to assume the house in our name. Our agent requested that we should have the other party communicate with them. I called and informed him to reach out to our agent but he kept promising to call the agent but never kept his promise. About the middle of January 2022, he stopped picking up our calls. We sent several emails and he never cared to respond. We need help on what to do next.

How long is a quitclaim deed good for?
Not sure if I am asking the question the right way. We've been asked to file a quitclaim deed.

A quit claim deed is like a warranty deed for a permanent transfer of ownership to a property after the applicable consideration of payment.

Are title company's law firms?
Going through real estate transaction and trying to understand.
George O.
No, but they can be fee offices, which means the law firm has entered into a contract with a title company to handle closings on behalf of the title company.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
