Did Texas REALTORS® Support These Changes?

Texas REALTORS® supported the bills that resulted in these changes. This pro-consumer law is the most comprehensive update to the seller’s disclosure since the statement’s creation in 1993. The updates add significant information related to flooding and provide buyers with in-depth information about past flooding on a property and its structures.
