Thinking of using a buyer’s agent?

HomeOfferFlow gives buyers a faster, lower-cost way to create a clean Texas offer while staying in control.

You can build your offer in minutes, generate the TREC contract and key addenda, avoid missed blanks, and potentially save thousands compared with the traditional buyer-agent commission model.

You stay in control β€” and you can still have an attorney, agent, or advisor review before you submit.

βœ“ TREC 20-18 Β· Section 1 β€” Parties & Β§21 Notices

Who's buying?

Enter full legal names exactly as they should appear on the contract. We'll also collect your contact info for the Notices section.

πŸ’‘ Legal Name RequiredUse your full legal first name as it appears on your government-issued ID.
πŸ’‘ Co-Buyer / SpouseIf buying with a spouse, partner, or co-investor, enter their full legal name here. Leave blank if buying alone.
πŸ’‘ Where to Find the Seller's NameCheck the MLS listing, county appraisal district tax records, or ask the listing agent.

Β§21 β€” Your Contact Info

πŸ’‘ This information goes in Section 21 so the seller and their agent know where to send official notices. Use your current mailing address.
βœ“ TREC 20-18 Β· Section 2 β€” Property & Β§4 Leases

The property

Start with the address. Then enter the legal description from the listing or county record. We split Lot and Block out clearly so the contract fills correctly.

πŸ’‘ Start Typing the AddressType the street address and select from the dropdown. City, county, state, and zip will fill in automatically.
πŸ’‘ County MattersSome cities cross county lines. The contract needs the county where the property is physically located.

Legal Description

πŸ’‘ Find this on the MLS listing, tax record, or deed. If you have β€œLot 33, Block A, The Trails PH 1, Section C,” enter Lot 33, Block A, and the subdivision below.
πŸ“‹ 2025 Update (TREC 20-18 Β§4C): Natural resource leases now include geothermal energy by law. This is automatically noted in your contract.

Β§4 β€” Leases on the Property

πŸ’‘ Most buyers won't know about existing leases up front β€” that's normal. If you're unsure, ask the listing agent before submitting.
Are you aware of any leases on this property?
βœ“ TREC 20-18 Β· Section 3 Sales Price Β· Third Party Financing Addendum

Price, financing & deposits

Start with your offer price, then choose how you are paying. We’ll calculate down payment, loan amount, earnest money, option fee, and common financing defaults together.

πŸ’‘ Offer PriceThis is the total purchase price you are offering for the property. It drives the loan amount, down payment estimate, earnest money suggestion, and Section 3 sales price math.
Financing Type
πŸ’‘ Why This MattersYour financing type determines whether a Third Party Financing Addendum is included and how the contract breaks out cash/down payment versus loan amount. If you are not sure, choose the loan type from your pre-approval letter.

Estimated monthly payment

Estimate only. Monthly payment figures are based on general Texas averages and the information entered above. Actual loan terms, taxes, insurance premiums, HOA dues, PMI, and closing costs may vary significantly. HomeOfferFlow is not a lender, insurance provider, or tax authority. Buyers should obtain official loan estimates from a licensed mortgage professional, insurance quotes from a licensed insurance agent, and verify property taxes directly with the applicable county appraisal district or tax authority.

Earnest Money & Option Period

πŸ’‘ These are tied to your offer price and inspection timeline. We suggest common starting points, but you can edit them.
πŸ’‘ Earnest MoneyA good-faith deposit held by the escrow agent. A common starting point is around 1% of purchase price.
πŸ’‘ Option FeePaid to seller for your unrestricted right to terminate during the option period. Suggested default: $250.
πŸ’‘ Option PeriodSuggested default: 7 days. Shorter can strengthen the offer; longer gives more time for inspections.

Β§5A β€” Escrow Agent

πŸ’‘ The Escrow Agent holds the earnest money and option fee.
βœ“ TREC 20-18 Β· Addenda Selection

HOA & contingencies

We only ask follow-up questions when they apply.

Is the property in an HOA?
πŸ’‘ HOA AddendumIncludes the HOA Addendum when the property is in an HOA or you are not sure.
Sale of other property contingency?
πŸ’‘ Sale ContingencyMakes your purchase contingent on selling a property you currently own.
Weakens offerUse only if necessary
Is this a backup offer?
πŸ’‘ Back-Up Contract AddendumThe property already has an accepted offer but you're submitting as second in line.
βœ“ TREC 20-18 Β· Β§6 Title & Survey Β· Β§7 Property Condition

Title, survey & disclosures

These questions complete required contract sections.

Β§6A β€” Who pays for Title Insurance?
Β§6A(8) β€” Title policy amendment?
Β§6C β€” Survey?

Lead-Based Paint Check

Was the home built before 1978?

Β§7B β€” Seller's Disclosure Notice

Have you received the Seller's Disclosure Notice?

Β§7D β€” Property Condition

πŸ’‘ Most competitive offers check β€œAs Is.” This does not waive your inspection rights.
βœ“ TREC 20-18 Β· Β§9 Closing Β· Β§8 Brokers Β· Β§12 Expenses

Closing details

A few final deal terms before review.

Β§8 β€” Buyer's Agent

Are you already working with a buyer's agent on this offer?

Β§12A(1)(c) β€” Seller Concessions

Smart negotiation idea

Because you are not using a buyer’s agent, some buyers choose to request seller-paid concessions or closing cost help. This is optional and depends on the property, market, and seller.

Are you requesting seller concessions?

Β§7H β€” Home Warranty

Optional protection request

Many buyers request a one-year residential service contract/home warranty to help cover unexpected repair costs after closing.

Would you like to request a seller-paid home warranty?
