That perfect property doesn’t last long. A Texas Realtor worth is weight in gold can help you scoop up a property that someone else already made a move on. The back-up contract is a great way to give you options to see if the current contract either: 1. gets terminated by the end of the option or 2. fails to close by the closing date. Let your realtor know if this is an option you would like to consider in areas of high demand.
