When the status on a property is listed as "Contingent w/no
kick-out" (CNKO) it means that an offer has been presented to the
seller with contingencies, and if those contingencies are not
satisfied, then the seller may take another offer.

A "kick-out" clause is sometimes used if a seller wants to reserve
the option to accept a better offer, once the property is under
contract. A "no kick-out" clause means that the seller relinquishes
this option once his/her home is under contract.

So, in your example "Contingent w/no kick-out" means that the
seller has accepted an offer with contingencies, but cannot accept
another offer unless those contingencies are not satisfied.
