Statewide Form 22A—Financing Contingency: The Broker’s Perspective

Posted on November 19, 2015November 19, 2015 by Kary L. Krismer

The statewide financing contingency form, Form 22A, present parties with some serious issues to consider. Prior pieces addressed seller and buyer concerns, but Form 22A also presents brokers with serious issues to consider.

The most complex issues for listing brokers may involve the seller’s decision to send a request to the buyer to waive their financing contingency using Form 22AR.
