“A seller of residential real property comprising not more than one dwelling unit located in this state shall give to the purchaser of the property a written notice as prescribed by this section or a written notice substantially similar to the notice prescribed by this section which contains, at a minimum, all of the items in the notice prescribed by this section.” Basically if you’re selling a single family home you are required to complete a Sellers Disclosure Notice. Note that, “a seller or seller’s agent shall have no duty to make a disclosure or release information related to whether a death by natural causes, suicide, or accident unrelated to the condition of the property occurred on the property or whether a previous occupant had, may have had, has, or may have AIDS, HIV related illnesses, or HIV infection.” There are 11 exemptions from disclosure: (1) pursuant to a court order or foreclosure sale; (2) by a trustee in bankruptcy; (3) to a mortgagee by a mortgagor or successor in interest, or to a beneficiary of a deed of trust by a trustor or successor in interest; (4) by a mortgagee or a beneficiary under a deed of trust who has acquired the real property at a sale conducted pursuant to a power of sale under a deed of trust or a sale pursuant to a court ordered foreclosure or has acquired the real property by a deed in lieu of foreclosure; (5) by a fiduciary in the course of the administration of a decedent’s estate, guardianship, conservatorship, or trust; (6) from one co-owner to one or more other co-owners; (7) made to a spouse or to a person or persons in the lineal line of consanguinity of one or more of the transferors; (8) between spouses resulting from a decree of dissolution of marriage or a decree of legal separation or from a property settlement agreement incidental to such a decree; (9) to or from any governmental entity; (10) of a new residence of not more than one dwelling unit which has not previously been occupied for residential purposes; or (11) of real property where the value of any dwelling does not exceed five percent of the value of the property. When in doubt you should discuss the issue with your agent or an attorney.
Many people have tried to capture the essence of it. Few accomplished it. Billy Ray Cyrus’ song titled, “Some Gave All” is one of them: All gave some and some gave all What non-veterans cannot comprehend is the guilt felt by many of those who make it home. Jamey Garner’s song titled, “That’s What Soldiers Do” showed remarkable insight :
Those emotional wounds run deep and those veterans returning home need our support more than ever. Freedom is not free. We enjoy our liberties because brave men and women have always been willing to put everything on the line in order to insure them. If you love America and our way of life, thank a veteran. Their blood has been shed preserving the liberty that we enjoy and many take for granted.

Southeast Frisco is booming with new home construction! Just north of Richwoods sits 143 prime acres soon to be Lawler Park. This community is just a few miles north of HWY 121 between Independence Pkwy and Coit Rd. Currently there are two highly respected new home builders slated to build in Lawler Park – Highland Homes and Darling Homes. Lot sizes vary and prices will range from the $400s to the $700s. Once built out, Lawler Park will be home to around 348 families. Within Lawler Park will be two distinct sections – The Arbors at Lawler Park and The Crossing at Lawler Park. The Arbors will feature patio/zero lot line homes starting at roughly 2,440 square feet. The Crossing will have front entry homes beginning at just over 2,900 square feet. Both sections will be zoned to Exemplary Frisco ISD. The model homes at Lawler Park should be ready in October, 2012. However, we can help you select your dream home site now! This premier location is close to shopping at Stonebriar Mall, the Allen Outlet Mall, and The Shops at Fairview. Numerous restaurants and entertainment venues are also close by.

Comments are closed  Frisco TX, Homes For Sale, New Construction  frisco, lawler park, new homes, Texas, the arbors, the crossing, TX I received an email from a client this evening. It read, “My AC is leaking!” It’s that time of year in Texas. We’ve had temperatures into the low 90’s and people are firing up their air conditioning systems for the first time. Some people never notice the water dripping from a pipe that exits over a window while other people think it is normal. I’ve ever seen one where the owner placed a large potted plant under the drip! Why waste water? It’s not normal! If you see water dripping, most likely your primary AC drain is plugged.
The water produced by the AC normally drains into the primary drain that is attached to the home’s plumbing. At the end of last season there was water in the trap that dried out leaving mold, lint, and other residue that clogs the trap. When that happens, the water overflows into the Overflow Pan and runs out through the overflow drain which usually exits the home over a window. Don’t panic! It’s easy to fix. Pour a little chlorine beach into the primary drain (the cap on the top of the drain comes off), let it sit for a few minutes, and then wash it down with plenty of clean water. This usually clears out the trap and everything is fine again. If this does not clear the clog or you’re not comfortable with this process, you should call an HVAC technician who can repair it for you.

We seem to receive questions about disclosure requirements in Texas on a weekly basis. Section 5.008 of the Texas Property Code spells out the requirements:
As a retired military combat veteran, Memorial Day holds a very special meaning for me. It’s a time to reflect back and honor those who not only served, but made the ultimate sacrifice for this nation and her people.
