When submitting an offer on a property, there are multiple ways to do. However, regardless of the format used, it is essential that certain minimum requirements be included in writing to ensure clarity in the transaction. It is best to have the written offer explicitly approved by the offeror. Although negotiations can be conducted over the phone, in person, or by other means, the advisor should be sure to send an electronic copy in writing to avoid misunderstandings.

All offers should include:

  • 1
    Full name of the client making the offer
  • 2
    Specify on which property the offer is being made
  • 3
    Terms of payment including the amounts involved
  • 4
    Details of who would pay for the transfer or if there are any special conditions
  • 5
    Expected payment terms
  • 6
    Expected delivery time
  • 7
    Expectation for Due Diligence/verification process
  • 8
    Specify if furniture, appliances, etc. are included
  • 9
    Specify if it is an escrow/trust transaction and under which legal framework the transfer will be handled (partnership, individual, etc.)
  • 10
    Expectation of response or time of validity of the offer
  • 11
    (Optional as reinforcement) Details on the payment of the commission for representation services (agency / advisor)
  • 12
    Other requirements or conditions of the offer
