FSBO GUIDE • WEEK 7

Why Deals Fall Apart Under Contract

Getting an offer feels like the finish line, but it’s really the start of the risk. Most contracts fall apart for a handful of predictable reasons. This guide shows what they are and how to protect your deal early.

What you’ll learn

  • The 5 most common reasons contracts fail (and what to look for early)
  • How weak financing quietly derails deals weeks later
  • How to handle inspection requests without giving away leverage
  • How appraisal issues show up and what smart sellers do ahead of time
  • The “deadline problem” that causes preventable cancellations

Pro tip

Most deals don’t die because the home is wrong. They die because the process gets messy. Clean communication, verified financing, and a clear plan through inspections and appraisal protect your net.
