Lake Kiowa property sale moves forward with amended plat approval

In a significant move for local real estate, the Cooke County Commissioners Court has taken steps to facilitate the sale of a property owned by 88-year-old Sheila Graham. During the meeting, Graham's daughters presented an amended plat necessary for the approval of a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan, which is crucial for the sale of their mother’s Lake Kiowa property.

The daughters, Eileen Henshaw and Sharon Guss, expressed gratitude to the county for its assistance in the process. They highlighted that the updated plat would eliminate easements on the property, a requirement set by the FHA underwriter to proceed with the sale. "We want to just respectfully thank Cook County," Guss stated, acknowledging the support received from various parties, including Jeff Moss at Pentex and Mr. Agosniak at Lake Kiowa.

Commissioner Kathy made a motion to approve the amended plat, emphasizing that no boundaries would be changed. This decision marks a crucial step forward, allowing the family to move ahead with the necessary survey and ultimately close the sale of the property. The court's swift action underscores its commitment to supporting local residents in navigating real estate transactions.
