When entering the realm of real estate transactions in Texas, understanding the intricacies of the paperwork is paramount for both buyers and sellers. Among the various forms required, the TREC OP-M form, approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) on October 10, 2011, plays a crucial role. This document, known as the Non-Realty Items Addendum, bridges the gap between real estate and personal property within a transaction. Specifically, it outlines the terms under which personal property—items not permanently attached to or part of the real estate—is included in the sale of a property. Detailing such items can range from specifying model numbers to identifying their locations within the property, making it clear what is being conveyed from the seller to the buyer for an additional sum or other valuable consideration. Significantly, this form also includes critical assurances from the seller that they own the personal property free and clear of any encumbrances, while simultaneously noting that the seller makes no guarantees regarding the condition or future performance of these items post-sale. This document represents an essential tool in clarifying the specifics of what is being bought and sold, thereby protecting all parties involved in the transaction. It is a voluntary form, endorsed for use by real estate professionals licensed by TREC, highlighting its importance in ensuring transparency and fairness in the transfer of both real and personal property.
