Let’s get to the bottom of what contingencies in real estate are.

📝 A contingency is a clause in a formal real estate contract that states there are certain conditions that must be met by either the buyer or the seller in order to continue to the next step in the contract. There are contingencies in almost every real estate contract. They are there to protect the buyer and the seller.

Both the buyer and seller must agree to the terms of each contingency and sign the contract before it becomes binding.

One of the contingencies is the period during which Inspections will be completed and repairs negotiated, if any.

In North Carolina, there is also a due diligence fee associated with this due diligence period of contingencies. It’s paid upfront to the seller and is nonrefundable.

In South Carolina, there’s a termination fee associated with terminating a contract, but isn’t paid upfront.

🎙️ EPISODE 25: REALLY ROTTEN REAL ESTATE RECOLLECTIONS

Some transactions remind us that real estate is never just about houses.

In the early days of COVID, we had a seller under contract to sell several lots. What should have been a routine transaction took a heartbreaking turn when he suffered a critical medical emergency and was admitted to the ICU.

We all hoped for a recovery, but sadly, he never came home.

In the midst of unimaginable grief, his family came together with remarkable strength and grace. They navigated the legal, financial, and emotional challenges necessary to complete the sale, ensuring that his plans were fulfilled and helping provide financial security for his newly widowed wife.

This wasn’t a story about negotiations, contracts, or closing dates. It was a story about family, love, responsibility, and honoring a husband’s final wishes.

Real estate often intersects with life’s most difficult moments, and it is a privilege to walk alongside families during those seasons.

❤️ To this day, I remember the courage and unity this family showed when it mattered most.

There’s something deeply rewarding about helping clients navigate the journey from raw land… to a place someone proudly calls home.

Selling lots and land in Union County isn’t just about acreage and price points. It’s understanding perc tests, soil composition, septic suitability, grading challenges, drainage concerns, and knowing how to position a property correctly before it ever hits the market. One parcel may be build-ready while another needs extensive engineering and due diligence.

In this market, soil matters. Expertise matters. Guidance matters.

And after walking land, reviewing reports, coordinating with surveyors, soil scientists, builders, and buyers… there’s nothing better than driving back months later and seeing a beautiful home standing where there was once only possibility. Families making memories. Children playing in yards. Front porch lights glowing.

That’s the part of real estate people don’t always see.
We don’t just sell dirt.
We help create futures.

If you’re considering selling land in Union County or looking for the right parcel to build on, The Safari Group LLC is ready to help you navigate the process strategically from contract to construction.
