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

The exact questions and required information vary by transaction and brokerage.

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.
