Clear terms.
Clear process.
Making an offer should be straightforward. We ask buyers to present their position clearly so the seller can consider the full proposal, not just the headline price.
What makes
a strong offer?
Price matters, but it may not be the only factor a seller considers. The strength of an offer can also depend on how straightforward and certain the proposed transaction is.
In some circumstances, an offer with fewer conditions or greater certainty may be more attractive to a seller than a higher offer with more uncertainty.
What happens after
you make an offer?
Your offer is received
We review the information provided and make sure the key terms of your offer are clear.
We present it to the seller
The offer is presented together with the relevant information about financing, timing and any conditions attached to it.
The seller considers the proposal
The seller may accept the offer, decline it, make a counter-offer or request further information before deciding.
We communicate the response
We keep the buyer informed and explain the next step if the negotiation continues.
When more than one
buyer is interested.
Sometimes a property receives more than one serious offer. When this happens, we explain how the process is being handled and communicate clearly with the buyers involved.
Depending on the circumstances and the seller's instructions, buyers may be invited to confirm or revise their position.
The seller remains responsible for deciding which offer, if any, they wish to accept.
The highest offer
isn't always the strongest.
Sellers may look at the complete position of each buyer rather than price alone.
Financing, completion dates, contingencies and the likelihood of the transaction proceeding smoothly can all form part of the decision.
Our role is to make sure the terms of each serious offer are presented clearly so the seller can make an informed decision.
Agreement first.
Then the legal process.
The agreed commercial terms are confirmed between the parties.
The relevant property documentation can be reviewed as required.
Legal, financing and other checks can then take place.
The appropriate reservation or contractual arrangements are then agreed.
Questions about
a particular offer?
Every transaction is different. If you have a question about the offer process for a particular property, speak directly with the One.Homes agent managing that sale.
This page explains the general One.Homes offer process. Individual transactions may be handled differently depending on the property, seller instructions, the terms of the offer and the legal circumstances of the transaction.
