A written offer outlines the terms under which a buyer agrees to purchase a home. If the seller accepts this offer, it transforms into a legally binding contract. This document specifies the price, conditions, and timelines for the transaction, ensuring both parties are clear on the agreement. It’s a crucial step in the home-buying process, providing a formal commitment from both the buyer and seller.
