Step 2 of 3 · Contingencies

Three checkpoints.

Then we're home.

Contingencies sound complicated. They're not. They're conditions in your contract that give you time to make sure everything checks out before you're fully committed.

The big picture

Three contingencies, running at once

All three run at the same time, each with its own deadline. Crystal and I keep track of every date so you don't have to.

The three checkpoints

Tap each one to see your part

What it means

Time to get to know the home closely and make sure there are no surprises.

Your part

Go through the reports with me and tell me what matters to you.

If something comes up

We can ask the seller for repairs, a credit, or a better price. And if it turns out this isn't the right home, you can walk away.

What it means

Confirms the home is worth what we're paying.

Your part

Nothing. Seriously. Alix orders it.

If it comes in low

The seller lowers the price
You cover the difference
If we can't agree, you can walk away

Most of the time it lands on some mix of the first two. That's where I come in.

What it means

Alix finalizes your loan approval.

Your part

When Alix asks for something, send it over as quickly as you can. Fast replies keep everything on schedule.

If something comes up

Alix and I handle it together.

Your deposit

What about your deposit?

While the checkpoints are open

Your deposit is protected. Each checkpoint is there in case something isn't right.

Once all three are cleared

Everyone's all in. You, the seller, and the lender are committed to closing.

You'll sign off on each checkpoint before it's cleared. Nothing goes out until we've done our homework, you've given the green light, and I've triple checked it.
