An amount for a seller’s contribution to the buyers’ expenses should be in Paragraph 12A(1)(b) of the contract. These expenses are defined in Paragraph 12A(2).

Checking Paragraph 6C(1) makes the survey a seller’s expense—not a buyer’s expense—so the seller will pay for the survey in addition to up to $2,000 in buyer’s expenses.

If the seller wants to limit his contribution to the buyer’s survey costs, the most direct approach is to check Paragraph 6C(2) and include the amount the seller wants to contribute in Paragraph 12A(1)(b).

Paragraph 7D(2) of the TREC contracts is the appropriate section to cover a seller's agreement to repair a specific item of the property. General phrases that do not identify specific repairs, such as "subject to inspections," are not appropriate.

Paragraph 12A(1)(b) should be used to show the seller's contribution to the buyer's closing costs. This paragraph already provides for language to limit the seller's obligation to the amount shown in the blank space.

No. The seller only contributes the amount of the buyer’s actual expenses. If Buyer’s Expenses only totaled $5,000, then, seller is only obligated to pay $5,000.
