How We Can Help

The offer is usually prepared by a real estate agent but if no agent represents you, it can be created by a lawyer. That's where our Real Estate Lawyers come to your help. We have reviewed and edited thousands of offers to protect your interest in one of the most important purchases you will ever make. We specialize in real estate offers.

Details in an offer to purchase include who the purchaser (buyer) is and who the vendor (seller) is and details about the property included in this offer. When you initially make an offer, it is a written offer to purchase and sometimes sellers do not accept the first offer and a counter-offer can come back to you. This process could go on a number of times, with changes being made to various components of the offer, such as:

• price

• date of closing

• amount of deposit

• items included in the transaction (appliances, furnishings etc).
