FAQ

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.

Quick insights. A “contingent” status means the seller has accepted an offer, but the sale is subject to certain conditions (i.e., inspections or financing). A “pending” status indicates that an offer has been accepted and the sale is further along, not yet final because of certain contingencies, such as an inspection.

A contingent contract is a legal agreement in which the terms and conditions only apply or take effect if a specific event occurs. Essentially, the parties involved agree to perform actions or obligations based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a particular event in the future.

Contingent homes are still waiting on certain pre-conditions to be met before the sale goes through, while pending homes have yet to finish processing the sale. If the home you want is contingent or pending, you may still be able to make an offer or view the property.
