What contingencies should I reject in a buyer's offer?

Reject home-sale contingencies outright - they chain your transaction to the uncontrollable risks of a completely separate deal. Aggressively negotiate appraisal contingencies into capped gap clauses that transfer valuation risk to the buyer. Enforce strict timelines on financing contingencies. In NYC, never accept a post-contract inspection contingency - inspections happen during attorney review before the contract is signed.
