Accepting an Offer

The price is not always right

The highest offer isn’t always the best. Terms, contingencies, financing and timeline influence the quality of an offer. Initial proposals are often negotiable — we evaluate each offer holistically to identify the best net outcome.

Negotiating to win

We handle negotiations ethically and strategically, keeping your objectives central while maintaining buyer engagement to achieve a successful close.

The initial agreement and deposit

Once terms are agreed, both parties sign the Purchase Agreement and the buyer deposits earnest money with escrow. The escrow or closing agent (title company or attorney) holds funds and manages disbursements through closing.

Key process tips:

• Keep written records of every counter-offer, addendum and agreement. We prepare and preserve these documents for both parties.
• Stay on schedule with contingency deadlines to avoid contract breaches and to keep the transaction moving smoothly.
