FAQ
Contingencies are often used to protect the buyer from problematic home listings or unforeseen issues within the real estate transaction. Keep in mind that making a contingent offer on a property is easier if you've already found a lender you want to work with.
There are three types of group contingencies – dependent, independent, and interdependent. A dependent group contingency offers a reward to an entire group based upon the behavior or performance of one or more of its members.
For instance, a home seller may agree to an offer with the contingency that they must find a new home before they sell. If they are unable to find another home within a specified time frame, they may cancel the deal without penalty — so long as this contingency is spelled out in the contract.
The average contingency rate falls between 20-40%, with most lawyers charging around 33% to 35% of the total amount recovered in a case. The exact percentage can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the stage at which the case is resolved.
