- When the Texas Seller's Disclosure Notice is required for 1-4 unit residential properties and the key exceptions tested on the exam, such as new homes and foreclosures.
- That sellers must disclose all known material defects, even if a defect has been previously repaired, and that an 'as is' clause does not eliminate this duty.
- The buyer's seven-day unconditional right to terminate the contract after receiving the disclosure notice, if it was delivered after the contract's effective date.
- That if the seller never provides the disclosure, the buyer retains the right to terminate the contract at any point before the closing.
- Common exam traps, including the relationship between the 'as is' clause and the non-waivable duty to disclose known property conditions.
