“Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.”
–Garrison Keillor
When Buyers make a Contingent Offer, what’s the contingency?
Selling their current home — what Realtors call “the backup house.”
For the record, I’ve never heard a Buyer’s agent characterize the backup home as being anything other than “ready-to-go, well-staged, and priced to sell.”
My listing agent question #1: ‘please let me know when it’s on the market.”
Question #2: when can I take a look?
P.S.: And yes, some backup homes really are . . . “ready-to-go, well-staged, and priced to sell,” that is.
