FAQ
A seller cannot typically accept another offer while under contract unless there is a kick-out clause in place.
Sellers are allowed to accept backup offers even if they are under contract. However, if you accept a backup offer while under contract, it must be contingent upon the failure of the original contract. You must accept the first contract and forego the backup offer if the buyer meets all conditions.
Typically the listing agent no longer accepts offers once the property is listed as pending sale, so you won't be able to place your bid. But real estate deals can fall through for a variety of reasons, so a pending sale isn't a done deal.
It doesn't currently work like that under Texas law. So typically, the promises in the offer letter are only enforceable if you've already performed what is required.
In conclusion, terminating a buyer or real estate representation agreement in Texas requires following the terms of the agreement and providing written notice of termination.
Legally speaking, there isn't a time frame for sellers to respond to your offer. However, it's an unspoken rule in the industry that sellers and/or the listing agents should respond within a few days, with 48 hours as the norm.
In theory, sellers can take as long as they want before responding to an offer, but most listing agents get back to buyers within a few days. For the most part, 24 to 48 hours seems to be the standard observed by most sellers and their agents, but there are some exceptions.
Typically, formal offers are sent by the buyer's broker to the seller's broker in writing via email. In some cases, a buyer will also write a personal note to the seller to send along with it. That letter is known as a house offer letter.
Consider working with a financial advisor as you make the decision to invest in a real estate asset. Address the Seller By Name. Highlight What You Like Most About the Home. Share Something About Yourself. Throw in a Personal Picture. Discuss What You Have in Common. Keep it Short. Close the Letter Appropriately.
