A Conditional Offer
A Conditional Offer has one or more conditions that need to be fulfilled in order to firm up on the deal. These conditions could be subject to a home inspection, subject to finalizing financing, or on the sale of a purchaser’s property just to name a few. In the case of a conditional offer, the property is not sold until the conditions have been met.

Once the offer is prepared and signed, I will present at the earliest convenience. The Seller may accept the offer, reject it outright, or submit a counter-offer also known as a sign back. In the case of a sign back, the Seller is making an offer to you based on the offer you submitted but with some changes. These changes could include price, closing date, a change in the conditions or other changes to the terms. The offer can go back and forth until it is accepted or one of the parties involve breaks off the negotiations.
