An inspection contingency allows buyers time to inspect the property and renegotiate or cancel the sale if necessary repairs are found. A financing contingency lets buyers back out if they can’t secure a loan or if the property doesn’t appraise. At Smartlist.co, we don’t rely on bank financing, so you never have to worry about our ability to close your deal.

Traditional listings often come with inspection and financing contingencies. That means buyers can back out or ask for price reductions if the inspection finds issues, or cancel the deal if their loan doesn’t go through or the home doesn’t appraise. These issues can delay or ruin the sale.

At SmartList.co, we charge just 1% and guide you through these challenges with expert support, strong buyer screening, and smart prep — so your sale stays on track.

At SmartList.co, we list your home for just 1% — but deliver elite results.
