* An inspection contingency gives the buyer time to inspect the property and back out or renegotiate the deal if any repairs are needed. If the seller disagrees with the buyer, the buyer can back out of the sale without penalty.
* A financing contingency allows the buyer to back out of the deal if they can’t secure financing or if the property value is not appraised as the bank requires for loan approval.
We don’t use bank financing at Faithful Buyers, so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close a deal. We pay cash for houses, and we can close quickly and hassle-free.
