Letter or the intent of disclosure laws Dear Barry: We bought a house a couple months ago, and there are railroad tracks running behind the back fence. The sellers and the Realtor said the tracks were used on weekends only for an old, historic train that takes tourists to the Ft Worth Stockyards. This was stated in the listing flier and in the disclosure statement. What they concealed from us was a bill that was passed by the city council two years ago, opening these lines to commuter trains that will be running as frequently as every 20 minutes. When we asked our Realtor why this wasn't disclosed to us, she said they only had to disclose the railroad tracks’ existence and not what will eventually be running on them in the future. We feel that this was totally dishonest, but we don’t know if we have any recourse. What can we do?

they can justify this kind of deceptive behavior: To misrepresent vital facts in the transaction; to violate the confidence of trusting homebuyers by withholding information that would significantly affect the value and desirability of the property; and to do these things with no apparent sense of wrongdoing? Real estate disclosure laws vary from state to state. Some requirements are more strict and exacting than others. In your state of Texas, disclosure standards deal almost exclusively with actual physical defects on the property. In some states, such as California, there are requirements to disclose additional issues, such as “neighborhood noise problems or other nuisances,” which of course would call for disclosure

of train track usage. Aside from the stated legal requirements for real estate disclosure, there is a common understanding throughout the real estate profession that agents and sellers should disclose any condition that would affect a buyer’s desire to purchase the property in question. This standard of disclosure is based upon two consider-
ations: 1) that failure to disclose is a violation of professional ethics; and 2) that non-disclosure exposes agents and sellers to legal liability and lawsuits. Whether the sellers and Realtor are liable for non-disclosure is uncertain. Whether they are guilty of unethical business practices is without question, assuming
that they knew about the proposed changes in railroad usage. On the chance that there may be more to the disclosure law than is apparent on the surface, you should have this matter reviewed by a real estate attorney to see if you have legal discourse. It may also be possible to file an ethics complaint against the Realtor with

Three paint projects for fall entertaining "Despite the hectic chaos that comes with the back-to-school season and adapting our family schedules, I find fall to be the perfect time to tackle my home to-do list," explained Cyndy Aldred, the do-it-yourself paint blogger behind The Creativity Exchange. "It's perfect because fall is our favorite time of year for entertaining!" With kids in school and summer travels winding down, fall can be the perfect time to complete quick projects to get your home ready for fall social gatherings. Whether you're gearing up for the big game or hosting next month's book club, Aldred offers her favorite paint projects that are sure to wow your guests.

ing an even bigger pop of color with painted furniture. For her frontporch makeover, Aldred painted her porch bench using PPG Timeless exterior paint and primer in a soothing, soft grey, Silver Reflection (50BG 54/017), and added decorative pillows to create a warm and welcoming entrance for a gathering of friends. With an open front porch, Aldred made sure to use PPG Timeless paint, available at The Home Depot, because it provides good resistance to chipping or flaking and extreme weather conditions.

Technology, which uses the same technology as automotive paint, so it won't fade in sunlight or dull over time," said Aldred.
Declutter your home with color Busy fall schedules often mean more school bags, homework, sports equipment, crafts and holiday decorations around the house. Aldred recommends quickly tackling a cluttered area of your home with a fresh paint job. For example, if you have bookcases in your family room or glass-faced cabinets in your kitchen, Aldred suggests painting the backs of them in a standout color, like the PPG Timeless 2018 Color of the Year, Deep Onyx (00NN 07/000). "I love this trick because of how the eye is drawn to the color and not the clutter that might be around or behind it," said Aldred. • SEE PAINT PAGE 9

Can you buy a house without your spouse? Question:
My husband and I finally have saved up enough money to try to buy a home, but when we went to talk with a lender, he said that my husband’s credit score is too low. The lender suggested that we buy the home with me only. My husband is very upset with this suggestion and thinks this is a shady idea. We really want our own home. Can you offer any advice? Answer:
Good question; thanks. I can understand your husband’s disappointment, however, I believe the lender was probably trying to offer another solution to help you both obtain

your goal. The suggestion of leaving your spouse off the mortgage loan is more common than you would think. Let’s look at some reasons why this could be of benefit. When filling out a mortgage loan application the approval is mainly based on your credit score and income. The need for a good credit score along with a strong history of paying your bills on time is crucial in addition with having enough

Usually pulling spouses together allows the amount of the loan to be a larger amount. However, if one of the spouse’s criteria diminishes the opportunity to get the loan, then perhaps the wise idea would be to leave that particular spouse off the loan completely. income to support the amount of payments you will want to borrow. Also the lender will look at all your debts for instance, credit card balance amounts, child support payments, car loans, any student loans, etcetera. Usually pulling spouses together allows the amount of the loan to be a larger amount. However, if one of the spouse’s criteria diminishes the opportunity
to get the loan, then perhaps the wise idea would be to leave that particular spouse off the loan completely. It is always good to know that when lenders are viewing loan applications this process does not allow them to pick the best parts of each mortgage borrower, for instance, who has the highest FICO score, the highest income and the least debts. Lenders tend to focus on the
OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 11AM-3PM & SUNDAY 1-3PM 210 OAK STREET, AUBURN $410,000
spouse with the lowest fico score along with all the debts. Both spouses together are a package deal regarding the qualification process. Also keep in mind that lenders offer lower interest rates to borrowers who are better qualified. Therefore, this could mean a much lower house payment for the next 30 years. Now we can realize in some cases it can make sense to only work with one spouse. Although some mortgage loans do not require both spouses to be on the loan. There could be a requirement of the non-borrowing spouse to acknowledge the loan mortgage and perhaps provide their credit score. Working with only one spouse as the mortgage borrower then that person is solely financially responsible for re-
paying the loan. Usually in the event a mortgage payment is missed or the loan is defaulted on, the effects will only be applied to that spouse on the loan and not the other spouse. When there is only one spouse on the mortgage loan then the other spouse’s name will not be on the deed to the home. However, after the close of escrow, the non-borrowing spouse can be added to the title by filing a quitclaim deed as long as both parties agree. Before you make this vast decision I would suggest seeking advice from sources such as a tax professional, a real estate attorney or a financial advisor.

Transform your favorite gathering space with a fresh coat of paint Kitchens, living rooms and dining rooms are often favorite gathering spaces for friends and family in the home, so they are ideal spaces to make a great impression with a fresh coat of paint. "People always gravitate to our dining room when we are entertaining," said Aldred, "so I love to freshen the space each year with a new paint color. It's one
of the least expensive and easiest ways to get a new look, and I love using a one-coat product to make it even easier." Aldred recently used PPG Timeless interior paint and primer in Bluegrass White (30GG 73/048) to update her dining room. For an on-trend look, she went with a flat finish. "Contrary to popular opinion, a flat finish in a high-traffic entertaining space is durable if you select the right product," explained Aldred. With the paint's outstanding
washability, scrubbability and stain resistance, Aldred was sure it could withstand the wear and tear of countless social gatherings. Perhaps it is time to embrace fall with a few fresh paint projects to impress your guests and make lasting improvements to your home.

Home warranties not created equal Having a home warranty is a smart way to help deal with the inevitable home repair problems that all property owners face at one point or another. After all, a good home warranty can mean getting expert help when your HVAC system needs to be fixed, your water heater needs to be replaced, or your refrigerator requires a new part. But unfortunately, all home warranties are not created equal. And shopping for a home warranty can be tough, especially if you aren't familiar with home warranty coverage
and providers. So to find a home warranty that will protect your home and budget, here are three important questions to ask, along with a few tips on what to look for in a top-notch home warranty.
1. What's covered? Some home warranties are only good for appliances. Others focus on systems within your house, such as your air conditioning, heating or plumbing systems. The best warranties offer broad protection at a fair price, and even allow you to select from vari-
ous coverage approaches based on your needs. When shopping around, inquire about exclusions, limitations and non-covered expenses. Most, if not all, plans DO have these. For example, there may be a cap on the amount of coverage for a particular item; an environmental disposal fee, required in some counties, may be excluded from coverage; or modifications, not covered under the home warranty, may be needed to bring a covered system up to code or in compliance with new standards.

The backyard fenced with rod-iron fencing that opens to a green belt area, a patio & built-in BBQ.
2. Is the price affordable? Obviously, you'll want to initially know the specifics of how much a warranty will cost you - not just for the annual price of coverage, but also for future service calls. When purchasing an American Home Shield warranty, you choose a $75, $100 or $125 fee for your service requests, which gives you the flexibility to pay more or less for your annual contract. As with all home warranty companies, the price of an American Home Shield warranty plan varies based on multiple factors, including the specific type of plan you choose and your state of residency. But basic coverage starts at about $300 and goes up to around $600 annually for more comprehensive plans - a bargain considering the cost of replacing things in your house that will likely break down at some point. When considering cost factors, also ask if all the items you want covered are included in the base cost of the plan, or

3. Does the home warranty cover just mechanical components?
Before you buy any home warranty, inquire about the extent of coverage different companies may provide based on normal wear and tear of an item — as well as any limitations. Many components of

September 29 & 30, 2017 • GOLD COUNTRY HOMES home systems and appliances contain both mechanical and non-mechanical features. While the primary goal of a home warranty is to repair or replace covered items so that they function mechanically, American Home Shield covers both mechanical repairs and certain non-mechanical items, such as handles, doors, knobs and shelves. That doesn't mean everything is covered, of course. So let's say your child stands on your dishwasher door and breaks the seal. Sorry, but that is NOT a covered repair, because it is not "normal" wear and tear. Also, what happens if a repair person comes to your home and, despite his or her best efforts, simply can't fix something
covered under your home warranty? With an AHS home warranty, if a repair person can't fix a covered item, AHS will replace it. That doesn't mean you will necessarily get the precise brand and color of, say, a washing machine or dryer. After all, you may have bought your laundry set four years ago, and the manufacturer might not even make those exact same models or colors today. However, if your washer and dryer do fizzle out completely, AHS will install a replacement that has similar operational features. What's more, at American Home Shield, 98 percent of service requests are dispatched to local repair technicians within 24
11
hours.
Using your home warranty wisely Regardless of the type of home warranty you buy or whom you buy it from, always follow the maintenance guidelines specified for your home's appliances and systems. Likewise, it's a smart idea to have those systems and appliances regularly serviced. Taking both of those steps can prevent many service repair calls and help reduce your overall cost of homeownership. Ultimately, an excellent home warranty provides you with a solid asset that helps safeguard one of your biggest investments.
