12. Fixtures, Closing Costs & Contingencies: What It All Means

September 30, 2025 • Abbie Weldon

Ever come across a real estate term that left you scratching your head? You’re not alone. In this I put my husband Ben in the hot seat for a lighthearted real estate quiz. Together, we break down the most common (and sometimes confusing) terminology that every homebuyer and seller should know.

From the meaning of MLS and escrow to how earnest money and closing costs work, this episode makes real estate lingo easy to understand—and even fun! Whether you’re preparing to buy your first home, thinking about selling, or simply want to sharpen your knowledge, you’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of the terms that pop up in contracts, listings, and closings.

Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming, but knowing the terminology gives you confidence every step of the way. Tune in for a fun, educational conversation that takes the mystery out of real estate jargon—Wetumpka style!
