Make him remove the contingency?\nThe inspector found\u00a0what?\nYou\u2019ve lived in your house a long time\u00a0but had no idea the master bedroom remodel\u00a0didn\u2019t have the proper permitting. Or maybe the inspector came across a potential problem with the foundation or the roof. What\u2019s your next step?\nThe appraisal is low\nThe appraiser says your home is worth $20,000\u00a0less\u00a0than the buyer agreed to pay for it. Now the buyer wants to renegotiate.

Should you grant it?\nThe lender will make the loan \u2026 if\nThe buyer\u2019s lender will only approve the buyer for a mortgage if electrical repairs are made to the property. Who is responsible for arranging and paying for those repairs? And does this give the buyer the right to terminate the contract?\nWhat do you mean we\u2019re not closing on that date?\nYou were planning to fly to Portland for your niece\u2019s wedding the day after closing your sale, and now the closing is delayed a few days. How is that going to work? You can\u2019t miss the wedding.\nThere are many other problems that can unravel a sale. Fortunately, your Texas REALTOR\u00ae has seen it all. He or she\u00a0can\u00a0keep things on track and prevent some situations from occurring in the first place. Your REALTOR\u00ae will explain your options and make sure your transaction proceeds as smoothly as possible.\u00a0","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selling your property is difficult enough when everything goes exactly as planned.\u00a0Unfortunately, complications are more of the rule than the exception.
