Here is the type of wording we use in an addendum to our contracts if we presell a house:In order to compensate the seller for the items and finishes that may need to change should the closing not occur because of any contingency in the contract, the parties agree that there shall be a separate deposit of $20,000.00 which shall be non-refundable to the purchasers should the transaction not close.These funds are not earnest money that is in any way refundable to the purchaser should the contract fail to close.This means if we give them allowances to pick out lighting, tile, etc. and they pick out items we would never have picked and the house doesn't close -- for ANY REASON (loan doesn't go through, appraisal too low, they simply change their minds, etc.), we get the $20,000 so that we can then do the house as we see fit.There are many other pitfalls you must pay attention to when selling early, but none as important as this one.
