A definition of contingency is a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty. Essentially, a contingency is a condition that must be met before an agreement can move forward.

There are many types of contingencies, and here is a list of some:

Financing
Appraisal
Inspection
Home Sale
Well/Septic
Termite
Radon
Lead-Based Paint
Document Review
Finding a home

And these contingencies have to be met to complete the transaction.

Can you name more RE contingencies?

Your list has me awake and thinking this morning. What about homeowner or condo association, HOA or COA contingencies, or is this in your document review. Another would be boundary/survey.

Margaret contingencies are something I have to deal with all the time on the financing side of the business, and they can be many before a Clear-To-Close can be given.

George Souto Clear To Close is a lovely statement!
