Built After Listening to Texas Real Estate

Hi, I'm Phanel Jean Baptiste, the founder of TxtAnOffer.

I'm not a real estate agent — I'm a software builder with a passion for solving real problems with simple tools. TxtAnOffer started after a conversation with a Texas REALTOR who walked me through what a bad day actually looks like: standing in a driveway or sitting in a parking lot, laptop open, manually filling 40+ fields on a TREC 20-19 while a buyer waits, because in Texas real estate the agent who gets their offer in first often gets the house.

That time costs deals. So I built a way to skip it. TxtAnOffer turns what used to take a laptop into a text message and about 10 seconds.

That solved the drafting. It didn't solve what happens next. The more I dug into how Texas files actually close, the clearer it got: the real risk in a Texas contract isn't how fast it gets written — it's what's still blank or mismatched by the time it reaches title. A missing initial. An Effective Date nobody filled in. A 40-11 that disagrees with the contract it's attached to. That's not a speed problem, it's a review problem, and it can happen on any file — not just the ones typed from a phone.

So TxtAnOffer became two things. Create an offer by text in seconds — still here, free to start. And Check any TREC 20-19 for exactly what's missing before title finds it — free, no login, just drop it on the site. Brokerages and TC teams that want every file checked automatically, across their whole roster, get the Brokerage Dashboard.

Why It's Built This Way

Every feature is built around a specific way a Texas file goes wrong — not because a spec sheet said a contract tool should have it:

• Field-by-field verification because a checklist that's just guessing from a form's field names misses the exact mistakes that get a file kicked back
• No login to check a file because a TC who needs an answer in the next two minutes shouldn't have to create an account first
• SMS-first offer drafting because most agents I talked to are in the field on their phone, not at a desk
• Draft warnings because nothing should go out until the licensed agent sending it has actually reviewed it

The Mission

Give Texas real estate professionals — agents, TCs, and the brokers who manage them — a faster way to create a contract and a sharper way to catch what's wrong with one, before it costs a deal or a closing.
