Writing the Offer

When you find the "right" home, the next step is to prepare a purchase offer for presentation to the seller. Everything related to the purchase of real estate must be in writing. Verbal contracts to purchase real estate cannot be enforced.

It is important to remember that when you fill out an agreement to purchase real estate that you are creating a legally binding contract. This contract sets forth the terms of the sale and establishes the rights and obligations of all parties involved. It specifies the actions to be taken in order to close the sale and sets the time frame for the completion of all steps.

Included in your written offer is the amount money your offering for the home and how you plan to pay for it. If you're financing the home, a letter from your lender stating that you have been pre-approved for a loan, should be included with the offer. Such a letter assures the seller that you are able to purchase the home.
