Home‑Sale Contingency & Kick‑Out — How It Works

Your purchase depends on selling your current home; seller can keep marketing and issue a kick‑out notice.

Kick‑out mechanics

Seller accepts another offer and gives buyer written notice. Buyer has a short time to waive the contingency (often with extra earnest) or the contract can end.

Buyer tips

• Know your waiver deadline and additional earnest requirement.
• Have lender and attorney ready to move quickly.
