A clean offer strips away every buyer exit hatch: all-cash or waived mortgage contingency, an appraisal gap clause covering any valuation shortfall, no home-sale contingency, and a full 10% earnest money deposit. Clean offers provide dramatically higher closing certainty. A $2.1M clean all-cash offer with 95% closing probability delivers nearly double the risk-adjusted value of a $2.2M contingent offer with 50% probability.
