[QUOTE=Phanatic Luvr;706770]I'm sorry, I just don't understand why any seller, especially here in The Villages, would accept an offer with such a contingency.
First, the seller would be taking their home off the market for a sale that may never happen????

Actually--when there is a contingency; The Seller does not take the house off the market. That is where I believe the realtor representing the buyer failed to disclose (or make clear). Under no circumstances that I have ever seen (was Realtor in VA 14 years) does the seller obligate themselves for something that "might" happen.
