We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is a Texas option fee?

The option fee is a nominal amount paid by the buyer to the seller at the beginning of the option period. The option fee grants the buyer the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to purchase the property within the option period.

What is the 7 day option period in Texas?

In Texas, a typical option period lasts between 7 and 10 days, though the actual duration varies based on negotiations between buyers and sellers. This timeframe gives buyers the opportunity to conduct property inspections and review the homes condition.

How long is the option period?

Typically lasting between 5 to 10 days, the option periods length can vary based on what is negotiated between the buyer and seller at the time of contract signing. To secure this privilege, the buyer pays the seller a non-refundable fee, known as the option fee.

Can you extend the option period in Texas?

You see, Texas law requires that consideration be paid for an extension. Not paying anything makes it unenforceable meaning the option period was not extended. I explained this to my clients when they signed it.

How long is the option period in Texas?

The number of days set forth for the option period is negotiable, but typically, anywhere between 1 and 10 days.

How do you count option period days in Texas?

Once a Seller accepts a Buyers offer, a timer starts on the transaction. In Texas, that timer starts the day a contract is executed, or signed by all parties. The day of signature is considered Day 0, and all subsequent days (including weekends) are counted from there.

Is a lease with option to buy a good idea?

Flexible path to buying a home: A lease option could be a suitable alternative if you aspire to become a homeowner but cant quite afford it just yet. Using this type of contract, you get a little more time to potentially save toward the down payment or work to improve your credit.

What is the 40 or 48 rule in Texas?

There is also the 40 or 48 Rule contained in Property Code Section 5.066(a): if the buyer has paid in 40% or more of the purchase price, or the equivalent of 48 monthly payments, then a 60-day notice is required and, if the default is not cured, a traditional foreclosure (not an eviction) must be used to regain title.
