SEPTEMBER IS REALTOR® SAFETY MONTH!

REALTORS® face job-related risks every day. Being aware of potential dangers and taking precautions will help you avoid risky situations.  In an ongoing effort to keep safety top-of-mind for our members, the National Association of REALTORS® and Clarksville Association of REALTORS® dedicate September as REALTOR® Safety Month. The goal: Reduce the number of safety incidents that happen in the industry, so each of our members makes it home safely every night.

 

To accomplish this goal together with you, we must improve the Safety Culture in the industry by raising awareness, following safety protocols, and encouraging all REALTORS® to stay vigilant on the job. To get started, here are 5 Safety Action Items for REALTORS®:

1. Plan Your Safety Strategy

2. Tips and Best Practices

3. Training Videos

4. Personal Protection Resources

5. Take the REALTOR® Safety Pledge

 

Additionally, you’ll see messages from us this month empowering you to take action with a variety of resources, including daily Safety Tips, and details about NAR’s upcoming REALTOR® Safety Webinar.

 

Thank you for your dedication to REALTOR® Safety—this month and throughout the year. Safety is a healthy habit that could save your life. Be aware. Keep alert.

HOTLINE Q&A

Republished from TN Realtors®

The Digest: 9/5/2022

Waiving Appraisal Contingency

 

Q: If a buyer is getting a 20% conventional loan on a contract and waives the appraisal contingency and the appraisal comes back below the purchase price, does that affect financing?

 

A: IF a buyer waives the appraisal contingency, they cannot then use failure to appraise as basis for loan denial and exercise the financing contingency. So, in practicality, the buyer would then be responsible to cover the amount the lender will not finance or be in default of the contract.
