What is a sale contingency and will sellers accept one?

A sale contingency lets a buyer's offer depend on successfully selling their current home first, protecting them from owning two properties at once. Sellers in a competitive market often prefer an offer without one, since it adds uncertainty and a possible timeline delay to their own sale. Brian negotiates contingent offers carefully so a seller understands the real risk before accepting one.
