In this episode you will learn:
- An amendment, using the promulgated TREC form, is required to change terms in an already executed contract.
- For an amendment to be legally valid, it must be in writing and signed by all parties to the contract (buyer and seller).
- Common exam scenarios for amendments include changing the sales price, adjusting the closing date, or adding a seller credit for repairs.
- An amendment modifies existing terms, while an addendum adds new terms *before* a contract is signed.
- A verbal agreement or an email is not sufficient to change the terms of a signed real estate contract in Texas.
