Can Escrow Fall Through?

Yes, though most sales close successfully. Knowing the common reasons deals collapse helps us prevent them and keep your transaction on track.

Financing Falls Apart

The most common cause is a buyer's loan not getting final approval. A strong, fully underwritten pre-approval greatly reduces this risk.

Low Appraisal

If the home appraises below the contract price, the deal can stall unless the parties renegotiate or the buyer covers the difference.

Inspection Surprises

Major issues found during inspection can lead to failed repair negotiations or a buyer canceling under their contingency.

Title or Contract Problems

Unexpected liens, boundary issues, or missed deadlines can also derail a sale, which is why careful coordination matters.
