Accepting an Offer

When you receive an offer it is important to review it carefully. Make sure you are getting as good a deal as the buyer. Go over all the terms and conditions with your Realtor® to determine if accepting this offer is in your best interest.

It is at your discretion to accept, reject, or make a counter-offer. Make sure your details are written down and signed by both parties so nothing unexpected comes up at closing. Working with a Realtor® can make dealing with the forms and negotiations a lot less stressful.

An offer typically consists of:

The sale price, proposed closing date and move in date, proposed financing, a pre-approval letter for a mortgage, and any contingencies.
