Blog > What Are Contingencies in Real Estate?
Contingencies are conditions written into a real estate contract that must be met for the sale to move forward. Common examples include financing, appraisal, inspection, and home sale contingencies.

A good agent helps balance protection with competitiveness—crafting terms that safeguard the client’s interests without weakening their position in negotiations.
