The Representation Playbook

How we approach common transaction friction points before they derail a closing.

Playbook 01
The Texas Option Period Defense

The Risk: Unforeseen foundation movement, aging HVAC units, or roof liabilities discovered during the inspection can overwhelm buyers.

Our Protocol: We schedule inspectors within 48 hours of contract execution, obtain independent licensed trade bids during the option window, and draft formal repair amendments or concessions prior to the deadline.

Playbook 02
Deed Restriction & Flood Audits

The Risk: Houston’s lack of municipal zoning means unverified deed restrictions or overlooked drainage zones can compromise property utility.

Our Protocol: We cross-reference FEMA flood plain layers, municipal drainage maps, and recorded county covenants prior to drafting representation terms.
