Seller preparation

What Riverchase buyers will ask, and what to have ready

1. Greentree plus the trail association

   Greentree Village Community Association, established in 1967 and managed by Kingwood Association Management, covers Greentree, Greentree Manor and Riverchase and maintains the Riverchase pool and its island. The Riverchase Trail Association, managed by FirstService Residential, covers Sections 1 through 6 for trails and entrances. Dues for both come from their resale certificates.

   • Trail association closing fees (2024): $340 transfer, $375 resale certificate, $150 refinance.
   • Greentree posts a leasing and occupancy policy; read it if you may rent the home later.

   What buyers will do: Have the title company order resale certificates from both associations and compare the assessments, reserves and any special assessments.

   What to have ready: The management company’s contact, an early order for the resale certificate for every association on the lot, and approval letters for exterior changes.

2. Big late-1990s houses

   Riverchase homes are large for this part of Kingwood, with a 1998 median build year. Larger houses mean more roof, more HVAC tonnage and higher replacement costs, and many original systems are now 25 years old or more. Make sure the house is in Riverchase and not the newer Villages of Riverchase before pulling comparable sales.

   • Ask for roof age, HVAC age and any foundation or drainage work with permits.
   • Use HAR's Riverchase subdivision, not Villages of Riverchase, for comparables.

   What buyers will do: Hire a TREC-licensed inspector and get an insurance quote early, since replacement cost on a large home drives the premium.

   What to have ready: Dates and receipts for the roof, HVAC, water heater, plumbing, foundation and other major work, plus any inspection reports you already have.

3. Flood research for the exact lot

   We found no published count of flooded homes in Riverchase for Harvey (2017), the May 2019 storms, Imelda (2019) or May 2024. Harvey hit Kingwood hard, and HCFCD's 2020 Kingwood drainage study found capacity limits in several channels, including Green Tree Ditch among the streams it started with. A village-wide record is not a guarantee for any single home.

   • Ask the seller for the flood disclosure, insurance claims history and any elevation certificate.
   • Price flood insurance even if the lot is outside the mapped high-risk zone.

   What buyers will do: Look up the address on FEMA's map and the Harris County Flood Education Mapping Tool, and get a flood insurance quote during the option period.

   What to have ready: Your seller’s disclosure flood answers, any elevation certificate, your flood insurance declarations page and records of any claim, repair or mitigation work.

Insurance and disclosures: buyers will price homeowners and flood insurance before they commit. Have your current declarations pages, any elevation certificate and any flood-claim history ready; Texas sellers also answer flooding questions on the seller’s disclosure notice (Texas Property Code §5.008).
