Real Estate Jargon, Explained
Real Estate Jargon, Explained
It pre-dates "textese" and pager codes, but even to individuals familiar with those modern informal languages, real estate lingo may still be incomprehensible.
There are two types of real estate slang: the acronyms used in ads (of which there are over 6,000) and the daily jargon used by real estate industry professionals in their work. If this is your first real estate rodeo, let's bring you up to speed on what you may hear coming from the mouth of your real estate agent.
Contingency: It's surprising how many real estate professionals throw this word around as if everyone knows what it means. "Don't forget, we have to remove that contingency," might just as well mean "I need to see a podiatrist for something growing on my foot."
A contingency is simply a clause in the contract that puts off the terms of the contract until another event occurs.

Common contingencies include the sale of your current home, obtaining a firm offer of financing, the home appraising for at least the loan amount, and acceptable inspection results.
