The charts below show the standard contingency periods for both buyer and seller based on the default language of the CAR (California Beachfront home for sale at 3808 The Strand Manhattan Beach
Association of Realtors) Residential Purchase Agreement (RPA) which most people refer to as the offer or purchase contract. The below is what is the default timeframes in the offer but all of these terms and timeframes are negotiable and in the current “seller’s market” many of these items will be either reduced or even eliminated if the seller has multiple offers.  Contact realtor and Three Sixty specialist Keith Kyle with questions about the process.
