There are four essential elements of forming a contract: offer, acceptance, consideration, and intention to create legal relations. Beyond this, the terms of the contract must also be unambiguous, and the parties must have the mental capacity to agree.
The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance; adequate consideration; capacity; and legality.
The Requirements of an Offer The statement of offer must show intent—The statement must reasonably be interpreted to indicate an intention to enter into a binding agreement. The offer must be communicated to the other party—An agreement cannot exist unless the offer is communicated.
Valid Offer: The offer must be clear and specific. Acceptance: The offeree must accept the offer without modifications. Adequate Consideration: There must be a fair exchange of value between the parties. Legality: The contract's purpose must be lawful.
“In a buyer's market, I would not hesitate to submit an offer that's around 10% below asking,” advises Chris Cloud of Exit Heritage Realty in Haymarket, VA. “Most sellers will at least see that as worthy of a counteroffer.”

Examples of the 'Submit Offer' button in the feedback request email. Option 3: Submit the Offer from the ShowingTime scheduling screen.
