Seller Opportunity vs. Signed Contract

Both are welcome. They are handled differently, and mislabelling one as the other causes the most avoidable problems.

A seller opportunity

You have spoken with an owner who wants or needs to sell, but nothing is signed. There is no equitable interest to assign, so the conversation is about whether TKC can help the owner directly and what role, if any, you would have — in writing, before anything moves.

A property under contract

You hold an executed contract with the owner. Now the questions are contract terms, assignability, earnest money, the closing date, and whether the numbers support a buyer at your price.

Why the distinction matters in Texas

Marketing a property you do not own or hold an interest in can create real legal exposure, including under Texas rules governing the marketing of equitable interests. TKC will not treat an unsigned opportunity as if it were a contract. If you are unsure of your position, get advice from a Texas attorney before marketing anything.
