Can foreign owners sell a Texas home remotely?

Often yes, with title coordination, possible POA, and careful tax planning (including FIRPTA concepts). Pricing and prep still benefit from local representation. Verify all wiring and identity steps independently.

Detailed explanation

Net-sheet estimates should include taxes, commissions, repairs, and withholding scenarios discussed with a CPA — not marketing round numbers.

Wire-fraud warning: Criminals spoof email near closing. Before sending any wire, call your title company using a phone number you verified independently (official website or prior business card) — not a number in a new email. Confirm account name, number, and amount.
