# Add and Manage an Offer on a Listing
When your seller accepts an offer, add it to the existing listing Deal. Rechat keeps the original listing record and adds the buyer-side details to the same Deal.
### Before you begin
Have as much of the following information as possible:
* Buyer information
* Buyer Agent information
* Executed contract date
* Expected closing date
* Sales price
* Title or escrow information
* Financing, inspection, possession, and other contract dates
{% hint style="warning" %}
The exact questions and required information vary by transaction and brokerage.
{% endhint %}
### Add the offer
1. Open the listing Deal.
2. Select **Add Offer** from the Deal header.
3. Complete the guided question-and-answer experience.
4. Review the buyer, buyer-side contacts, contract dates, and sales information.
5. Select **Continue** to add the offer.
### What happens next
After the offer is added:
* The buyer and buyer-side contacts are added to the Deal.
* Contract dates are added to the Timeline.
* The sales price and other contract information are added.
* A separate Offer checklist is added above the original Listing checklist.
* The Listing checklist remains available.
* The Deal can continue through the pending and closing stages.
### Complete the Offer checklist
Use the Offer section for the contract-specific documents and requirements. These may include the executed agreement, proof of funds, deposit confirmation, disclosures, inspection documents, and other brokerage-required items.
### Update the Deal status
For an MLS-connected listing, the status may initially be controlled by MLS data. Adding an offer makes the appropriate status controls available for the contract workflow.
Buyer Deals do not necessarily follow the same MLS status behavior. Some closing or payment statuses may only be available to administrators.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.rechat.com/guides/deals/add-and-manage-an-offer-on-a-listing.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
