Receive & Negotiate Offers

• Offer Review Your agent will present and walk you through each offer received, breaking down key components such as the proposed purchase price, contingencies (like financing or inspections), and any unique terms or conditions.
• Negotiation Process Reaching the right deal may involve several rounds of negotiation. You’ll have the option to accept, counter, or reject offers—always with expert guidance to ensure your interests are protected and your goals remain front and center.
• Offer Acceptance Once both parties agree on terms and sign the purchase agreement, the contract becomes legally binding. At this point, your listing status will update to “Pending” in the MLS.
• Earnest Money Deposit The buyer typically submits earnest money as a sign of good faith. These funds are held in an escrow account while both parties work to meet the agreed-upon contingencies. If the contract is terminated within the due diligence period, the earnest money is generally refunded to the buyer.
