I always think of Chris Rock when I explain it…🤣

Have you ever seen the movie ‘Down to Earth’? Remember when Chris Rock’s character makes the joke about insurance and says it should be called “in case sh*t”? Hilarious.

Anyway, think of a contingency as a quick way to say “it depends on…”

When we are talking about a real estate transaction (and on this page, we are always doing that), and we mention a contingency, here’s what it means: it acts as a protective layer in the contract for either party.

That’s it. It’s a “way out”, or a point at which terms can be renegotiated if needed…

What kind of contingencies can there be, you ask? TONS!

The most common are typically home inspection, appraisal, owner’s association, home sale, and financing!

The fewer the contingencies, the more “solid” or “clean” a deal may be— give or take.

What contingencies do you have questions about?

🧠💪🏼 KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

How’s real estate? Well don’t take my word for it - see for yourself!

Buyers rejoice: Inventory is ON THE RISE! 🙌 While we’re still in a sellers market, an increase in inventory is a good sign that we are headed in the direction of a more balanced market - but it’ll take a while.

Median sales price is up for both YOY and month-to-month at $369,900 ⬆️ Pending sales are UP overall at 2,558 ⬆️ Average market time is 19 days, who h is the same as April in 2025, and down from March’s 22 days ↕️ Month’s supply of inventory is up at 2.56. ⬆️

Buyers - inventory is on the come up, but that doesn’t mean we are in a buyer’s market OR a balanced market. The rise in our inventory is good news for you, as it means more home to choose from and the possibility of less competition. That said - this market is getting spicy, so be prepared for multiple offers, lots of negotiating, and a bit of give-and-take.

Sellers - yes inventory is growing, and that means your competitors are on every corner - sorta. PAY ATTENTION to the details - how you list your home matters. Let’s do the work to get it done right, and get your home SOLD!

Houston— we have a homeowner! 🚀

🎉C L O S E D🎉 in !

Congratulations to Scott— Norfolk’s newest !

✅ First time home buyer!
✅ Seller paid home warranty!
✅ Seller made repairs!
✅ Closed on time!

It couldn’t have happened without the hard work of Holly and team at Alpha 1 Title & Escrow, and the ever amazing Michael Socha!

Scott and I have known each other for years— about a decade now!

We began this journey together last year, just tossing ideas around. As time progressed, our plans got firmer, and timelines became real.

After touring through several homes, lots of phone calls, and some fierce negotiating— he was under contract at an adorable home of his own!

Just goes to show you that big dreams start with small conversations!

As I always say— experience is what made it happen - and you just can’t beat that!

This is a story worth reading!

My client purchased this home with my help a few years ago, when life was going well!

As we all know, life has its funny way of reminding us just how little control we really have over everything.

As fate would have it, we had a typical case of bad tenants + hard times + PREDATORY SOLAR PANEL COMPANIES = drowning in debt.

My client was ready to just throw his hands up and let it go into foreclosure, and that’s when I begged him to reach out to MAP Mortgage Assistance Professionals.

From there, we were able to assess the situation, identify an interested investor, and it was off to the races. Paul, Jay, and the rest of the team worked tirelessly to get our client what they needed: freedom.

The long story short? With the hard work of this incredible team, the seller is walking away debt free, without a foreclosure affecting his name, and he can finally breathe again.

Not every sale is glamorous and fancy— but they are ALL meaningful.
