Default Re: Can new homes be purchased subject to contingency to sell existing home?

If so, I'm sure there is a kick-out clause that gives you the right of first refusal by removing your contingency.

Has anyone used the Realtor referral service TV offer? How has it worked out?
TV relocation dept. will set you up with two realtors in your area. If you use them, you get a discount on your moving costs. We had both the realtors come and give us estimates as to what our house was worth. One of them really didn't do his homework and led us to believe that we'd get a lot more out of our house than we did (he included the finished lower half in the square footage). We decided to try to sell it by owner and were successful in six weeks, so we didn't end up using them. Also, someone said that The Villages is only giving furniture deals, etc. on new homes that have been on the market for awhile (I think that's what he said). We just bought a home a little over a week ago at TV, got the furniture/golf cart promotion and the home had just been released that day.
