In this short video, real‑estate professional Steve D. Valentine advises sellers on how to structure purchase contracts to maximize the chance of a successful sale. He recommends removing traditional contingencies—such as appraisal and financing clauses—so that buyers must resolve those issues independently, while still retaining protective safeguards for the seller. Valentine stresses the importance of maintaining “grace” in the contract, balancing strict protection with flexibility to accommodate buyer challenges (e.g., needing extra time to lease or increase a down payment). The core message is to keep the seller’s primary goal—selling the house—in focus, recognize serious buyers, and be willing to adapt the contract terms when necessary.

Chapters

Everything in the contract when they move in will be removed as contingencies. So appraisals, all those things, financing contingencies, none of those are contingencies. They'll have to work through them. And I always look at all this and go, hey, you know, seller, let's make sure that we're having Grace, we're taking all these things out. And I know you want to step on people and different things, but it's making sure that we're looking at the big picture. When we go down the road, if somebody comes up with a problem or they need to lease it further or they need to put more down payment in, it's just making sure that, yes, we have these things in place to make sure that we're protected. But it's also, let's keep in mind what the real problem we're trying to solve here. She wants to sell the house. These people want to buy it, they're serious about it. And sometimes we have to be flexible.
