[quote=SD Realtor]It sounds like it is a moot point applejack. If the seller is dug in and if they have a backup then they are going to most likely dig in. If they are smart they will inform the backup offer about the appraisal so that they don’t run into the same issue. [/quote]I totally agree. If the property went pending in a few days and they have plenty of back up offer, then you have to roll the the dice and be willing to walk. You don’t know about the other offers. It’s possible that one or more of the backup offer have the appraisal contingency removed.
