Explanation
When a buyer's contingency is satisfied (financing approved, inspection completed satisfactorily, appraisal at value), the buyer removes or waives that contingency, typically in writing. Once removed, the buyer generally cannot cancel based on that issue without forfeiting earnest money. In Nevada's competitive market, sellers sometimes request pre-emptive contingency removals as negotiating leverage. Contingency removal deadlines in the contract are important — failing to remove by the deadline may allow the seller to cancel.
