What happens if my deal falls through after weeks of board review?
You lose months of carrying costs, your listing re-enters the market with accumulated days on market and a "back on market" stigma, and buyers assume something is wrong. The re-listed price typically needs to be 3-7% lower to generate fresh interest. This cascading loss - time, carrying costs, and price reduction - is why closing certainty often matters more than top-line offer price.
