An offer will typically include:

• Your legal name, the name of the Seller and the legal address and description of the property.
• The purchase price offered.
• The chattels that will be included in the purchase price (e.g.: window coverings, appliances, satellite dish, etc.). Whatever items in or around the home that you think are included in the sale should be specifically stated in your offer.
• The amount of deposit (generally a minimum of 5% of the purchase price).
• Request for a survey of the property.
• Date when the offer becomes null and void (known as the irrevocable).
• Any other conditions that go with the offer such as Home Inspection and Condition of Finance if necessary.
• As your sales representative, I will provide you with all the comparable properties that have recently sold so that you can make an informed decision on what price you will offer to the Seller.

The diagram below outlines the entire process for you in detail.

Steps for the Offer to Purchase

Once the deal is finalized, the deposit must be in the Seller's Real Estate Brokerage’s Trust Account within 24 hours of acceptance (unless otherwise arranged within the agreement).  A certified deposit or bank draft submitted with the offer is always the best and strongest way to negotiate.
