Accepting an Offer

The Price Is Not Always Right

The highest offer isn’t always the best. Terms, contingencies, financing strength, and timeline all affect the net outcome. Initial offers are negotiable—our priority is to evaluate each proposal against your objectives and secure the best overall result.

Negotiating To Win

We negotiate ethically and strategically, keeping you informed and preserving buyer engagement. Our focus is protecting your proceeds and preserving the transaction through to close.

The Initial Agreement and Deposit

When buyer and seller agree, a Purchase Agreement is signed and the buyer deposits earnest money into escrow. The escrow agent (title company or attorney) holds funds and manages disbursements until closing.

Key process tips:

• Keep written records of all counter-offers, verbal agreements, and addendums—signed by both parties. We’ll prepare and retain these documents.
• Stay on schedule. Meeting deadlines for contingencies avoids contract breaches and keeps the transaction on track. We’ll manage timelines and provide reminders.
