Non-Contigent Offers

In the current real estate landscape, where housing inventory is at unprecedented lows, acquiring a home has become exceptionally challenging. A strategy to enhance the likelihood of having an offer accepted involves submitting an offer with no contingencies. Here are some commonly asked questions and their corresponding answers regarding this approach:

Q. Can I submit a non-contingent offer if I am utilizing mortgage financing?
A. Yes, it is possible, provided that you can cover the shortfall between the appraised value and the contracted sales price in case the home is appraised lower than expected.

Non-Contigent Offers

Q. Can I present a non-contingent offer using VA financing?
A. Yes, the same principle applies. If you have the financial means to bridge the gap between the sale contract price and a potentially lower appraisal, you can confidently submit a VA offer with no contingencies.

Q. Is there any risk associated with writing a non-contingent offer?
A. There could be some risk if your loan is not fully approved before making the offer. Our Single Point of Contact Loan Officers undergo training to ensure that your file is thoroughly underwritten before advising you to proceed with a non-contingent offer.

It's crucial to ensure alignment between your Realtor and Loan Officer before submitting a non-contingent offer. Open communication and coordination between these professionals are essential for a smooth and successful transaction.

What they’re talking about us?

Hear the feedback from our satisfied clients and learn how our independent insurance services have transformed their experience.

  • This was my first time buying a home in California, and the process was sometimes quite daunting. I had a lot of questions, and Shelley was personable, helpful, and extremely patient during the entire process. Not only that, but I got a great interest rate compared to other VA loan providers with lower closing costs. I cannot recommend Shelley and Merchants Home Lending highly enough - they are AWESOME!
  • My wife and I recently bought our first home using a VA loan and are ecstatic with the experience we had with Merchants! We feel very blessed to have found such a great lender. I was initially under the impression that all lenders are pretty much the same, but Merchants proved to me that your choice of lender can make the difference of many thousands of dollars. Through Merchants, we got a significantly lower rate and closing cost than any of the many other lenders we contacted could provide
