Frequently Asked Questions

What does pending actually mean?

That the seller has accepted an offer and the transaction is working through its contingencies. It is further along than active or option pending, but it has not closed, and contracts do fall through for financing, inspection or appraisal reasons.

Can I submit a backup offer?

Usually yes. A backup offer sits in position behind the accepted contract and moves up if that contract terminates. It costs you nothing but the time to prepare it, and it means you are first in line rather than finding out after the fact.

Should I keep looking while in backup position?

Yes. A backup offer is not a reservation and most pending contracts close. Continue viewing properties and be ready to release the backup if you find something better.

How does financing readiness help in this situation?

A seller weighing whether to accept a backup offer is weighing certainty. A borrower who is already preapproved and documented is a materially stronger backup than one who has not started. This is where preparation pays off.
