The market has changed and sellers need to be open to considering them. You are right on- sellers need to assess the factors associated with the sale of the buyer's own home to make sure it is priced well and prepared properly for sale if they plan to accept the contingency. Thanks for the great information. I would love to share it on my blog! Sparky,

Yes, there are tons of very nervous Seller/Buyers in the market right now. All the more reason for agents like yourself to truly 'shine!' and help them navigate through the challenges!

In my area we tighten up the time frames.. 15-30 days to get sold and a 48 hour first right of refusal.. I've found that it makes everyone a lot more motivated if the timeframe is short then if they have a longer period to hope the contingent property sells. These are always tough..
