Post-Occupancy After Selling a Texas Home

How a written post-occupancy agreement may give a Texas seller time and funds to complete a move.

Why sellers request it

Some owners need proceeds before paying movers, deposits, or costs for their next home.

How it works

The sale closes and the seller remains temporarily under written terms covering move-out, utilities, access, insurance, and property condition.

Get it in writing

The title company and appropriate professionals should review the agreement so expectations are clear.

Use the window well

Schedule movers and your next housing before closing so the extra period remains a defined transition.
