Contingencies

Learn about the three essential contingencies: financing, appraisal, and inspection.

Inspection ensures the home's quality, and you can inspect before submitting your offer to stay protected while removing this contingency. An appraisal provides a professional opinion of the value required by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Financing protects your earnest money if financing falls through but can weaken your offer. A pre-underwritten pre-approval can help ensure a smooth process.

At Seattle's Mortgage Broker, we ensure thorough pre-approval for a seamless buying experience.

Key Takeaways:

  • Inspection: Ensure the home's quality and consider inspecting before submitting your offer.
  • Appraisal: Provides a required professional opinion of value.
  • Financing: Protects your earnest money but can weaken your offer; pre-underwritten pre-approval is beneficial.
