Here are the 4 typical “contingencies” you will find in contracts to purchase or sell property.

Basically, contingencies will kill the deal.

Pay attention to these:

  • Financing – if buyer doesn’t get financing – no deal.
  • Appraisal – if the property doesn’t appraise for enough – no deal.
  • Inspection – if the property doesn’t pass favorable inspection – no deal.
  • Title – if buyer objects to certain things on the title of land – no deal.

Seller – pay attention to these and remove or limit them as desired.

Buyer – throw as many in the contract as possible. They typically help you the most.
