 This is a rant…. mostly. I cannot tell you how may times I have received a contract that was not legible. Some of these are so bad, I could post an example and NOT have to edit out any personal information because you couldn’t read it. These things look as though they have been faxed 25 times.

What is going on? Where do we get these fax machines? If you fax your contracts for signature, the fax machine shouldn’t be that $69.99 Office Depot Special. There is better equipment out there…. please equip yourselves. And please don’t ask a hundred questions of your lender about why the document isn’t good enough. It is a legal/binding document. Maybe a drive across town is in order?!?!?! I nearly got into an arguement with a realtor over why I couldn’t use the document they delivered. <== I am a professional too, and when I say it isn't legible the correct answer is: "Oh, so sorry, I will correct that".

Don't get me started on the penmanship issues when stuff is stricken out and had written into the contract. If your penmanship is bad, get someone else to write it. There is no room for shortcuts when the buyer/seller has this much money on the line.

 I feel fortunate to live where I live. Plano, TX is locates in the N. Dallas suburbs in the very desirable Collin County. Driving distance to downtown Dallas. An upscale community, with many amenities…. Malls & other shopping, movie theatres, parks, great schools and safe neighborhoods. Plano Parks & Recreation, for example, provides wonderful facilities for the kids to play outdoor games…. like Baseball!!! I enjoy spending time with my family and friends watching my oldest son play ball. He loves all sports and we can keep him busy year round with activities from the Plano Sports Authority. Their summer programs for kids include arts & crafts classes to karate lessons for nominal fees to residents.

 <== Just look at that form. Think I might know this little guy?!?! LOL
