The Problem

You're trapped between two deadlines.

You signed the backup offer paperwork at 11pm because the seller said the primary buyer might fall through. Now the inspection came back with foundation issues and your own home sale has a contingency clause that expires in 72 hours. Your realtor says 'it's standard' but you can't afford to lose your $15,000 earnest money.

  • The seller refuses to fix anything, citing 'as-is' backup terms
  • Your buyer's financing is pending and could collapse if you delay
  • You have to walk away from your dream home or risk bankruptcy

Real people, real deals

"I was so stressed about the inspection contingency deadline. The app showed me I had an extra 5 days I didn't know about. Saved my deal."

Sarah K. · Homebuyer in Austin

"Our seller wouldn't budge on repairs after the inspection. Legal Shell AI pointed out a financing contingency we could use to get out clean. We closed on a better house 3 weeks later."

Mike T. · First-time buyer

"As a realtor, I use this for every backup offer client now. It's not a replacement for a lawyer but it catches stuff I'd miss when I'm rushing. My clients feel more confident."
