I j; 1 Everything Presented by Mike and Julie Pierce ENTERTAINING IDEAS As they entertain offers, sellers should take into account ac-count that there is more to an offer than price. As they look through the contingencies that a prospective prospec-tive buyer has included in the contract, sellers must decide if they are acceptable. For instance, a financing financ-ing contingency is both fairly common and reasonable. reason-able. Aside from taking into account the buyers' time frame for getting their financing, the seller will want to know whether the buyer has been pre-approved for a mortgage. Beyond that, a sale is often contingent upon a successful home inspection, which should pose no problem for a conscientious seller. However, a sale that is contingent on the buyers selling their home should raise a red flag. Get the honest facts about what can make or break the sale of your home.
