How I Protect My Buyers in California Real Estate Deals (Contingencies Explained)

Описание: Buying a home in California? Don’t make the mistake of overlooking contingencies—they’re your built-in safety net during the transaction. In this video, I break down the three essential contingencies every California buyer should understand: loan, appraisal, and property inspections.

Learn how these clauses protect your earnest money deposit, how long you have to act, what happens if something goes wrong, and the biggest misconception most buyers—and even some agents—have about “as-is” contracts.
