The seller could accept one of the offers, deliver it back to the buyer and create a binding contract with that buyer. Another option for the seller would be to issue a counter-offer to a buyer and negotiate with just one buyer using counter-offers until they have a meeting of the minds and a binding contract.
The use of escalation clauses may also lengthen the negotiation process, a potential disadvantage to sellers and buyers. The buyer who is unsuccessful in a negotiation where a competing buyer used an escalation clause may feel that they were treated unfairly.
Bidding higher is the best way to beat an existing offer with an escalation clause. In most cases, the seller's agent won't and can't reveal the highest offer in an escalation clause, so you may have to guess.
