Should I waive the mortgage contingency to win a bidding war?
Waiving a mortgage contingency removes a buyer's ability to walk away if financing falls through, which puts earnest money at real risk regardless of how competitive a bidding war gets. A stronger pre-approval or a larger down payment can make an offer more attractive without giving up that protection entirely. Joel Boss weighs those alternatives with buyers before recommending a full waiver.
