That's a good point. I noticed many here have discounted the notion that a cash offer isn't any big deal. Maybe not in TV, but I've bought and sold 8 homes in my life, and I bet my first offer on half of them had a contingency upon one or the other, selling their existing home, or getting loan approval. When someone walks in with a cash offer, it's the saying money talks and something else walks.
