Backup Offers
If you suspect that the deal on your house may fall through, you are wise to protect yourself by obtaining a back-up offer. One situation that screams for a back-up offer is any contract that contains a "subject to sale of buyer's property" contingency. A back-up offer is also advisable if your buyer is obviously struggling to qualify for a loan or if you and the buyer hit a brick wall on some negotiable provision of the contract (such as the way to handle corrective work for problems discovered during property inspections).
- A good back-up offer clearly states that you've already accepted another offer on your property. It also stipulates that the back-up offer will not take effect until you give the back-up buyers formal written notice that your prior contract is canceled.
- In other words, the back-up offer is contingent on the deal in first position falling through. Motivated buyers generally don't stay in back-up position very long. They keep looking at other property after signing your back-up offer. If something better comes on the market while you've got them on hold, they are gone in a flash.
- Back-up buyers can usually bail out of a back-up offer anytime they want before you advise them that the offer in first position is dead.
