About Tracy's Bow Tie (downtown)

Now that we are in contract, is there anything that will keep me from getting the house?

Mr. Buyer says, "Now that we are in contract, is there anything that will keep me from getting the house?"fine print

As their realtor I tell them, "There are many things I would love to spell out & here are some of the most common ones for you.

  • Your lender might not approve you in the end, because they do have to verify everything & sometimes their rules change in the middle of escrow.
  • The appraisal might come in lower than our offer, then we will have to re-negotiate our deal.
  • The city of Tracy not approving the down payment assistance that you qualified for in the beginning.
  • You can change your mind, but after the loan/appraisal & inspection contingency removal, you will be walking away from your good faith deposit.

Sorry to be so vague, but honestly it's never over till it's over."

Mr. Buyer says, "Good, so nothing major then. I cannot be more specific, you pretty much answered the question. I don't think any of that will be an issue."

I was happy to help my buyer thru their thought process & I can help you too.
