First time Home Buyers
“We worked with Paula to purchase our first home... All I can say is superb! She was dedicated and patient with us (first time buyers) and truly believe that if she can help find us a house, she can find anyone a home!! I honestly wouldn't know what I would've done without her help. She is an excellent agent to work with! Truly a blessing.” August 20, 2009 Top qualities: Great Results , Personable , On Time

Real Estate Contracts >Contingency Sale
Sellers may be reluctant to accept an offer that is contingent on the sale of another property. However, such a sale can be structured to minimize the risks.
The seller should put a limit on the amount of time that the buyers have to accept an offer, and they should keep their home on the market during that time. They should also reserve the right to require that any contingencies be met within a short period of time, ideally 24 to 48 hours, if they get a second offer. This is called a "First Right" contingency.
Contingent sales can work well for the sellers. The buyer is not in a position to ask for concessions on price or terms and may be able to get interim financing. Each situation is different, however, so go over the terms with your real estate agent before accepting a contingent offer.
