An excerpt from May issue of the RE/MAX Home Journal:

Q:  I have heard that there are often contingencies placed on real estate contracts.  Is this true?   What are some “standard” contingencies?

A:  Although not every contract has contingencies, many include two: a financing contingency makes the sale dependent on the buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage approval from a lender.  The inspection contingency stipulates that the buyer is allowed to have professionals inspect the property to their satisfaction.

These contingencies protect both the buyers and the sellers.  For example, if the buyers back out of the contract for a reason not stipulated in the contract, they could lose any earnest money they have paid.  On the other hand, if buyers request repairs be made after an inspection and the sellers agree to it, they are held responsible for making those repairs prior to closing.

Having the details of a real estate contract explained to you is just one reason you should be working with a knowledgeable professional.  If  you are ready to buy or sell a home, call me.  I’m here to help.

The Bennington Vermont area real estate market is my speciality and I will be happy to answer your questions at any time.
