Agreement To Sell Real Estate
Pennsylvania
Acceptance of residential Real Estate Offer in Pennsylvania
Selling Agent told our Buyers Agent (i am buyer) that there was another buyer, that they would do highest & best / Best and Final offers by Sat NOON time. We provided our best and final offer by Sat at NOON. Sunday approx. 3PM the sellers agent told our buyers agent that the sellers have selected your buyers offer, it was due to removing the inspection contingency and being within 5K of the other bidder, we were very excited. We do not have a conter-signed PA real estate contract, we have an email note from the seller's agent representing the seller to our buyers agent indicating the the seller has accepted your buyers offer. My Question: the acceptance was in writing (email) and signed by sender of email - Sellers agent, specifically indicating they accepted our offer which was signed and in writing. Subsequently the sellers agent indicated when they did not sign our offer, that since they had not signed and had not signed the specific contract, that they were accepting a 2nd offer at a higher price. Any hope of wining based on the acceptance of our offer was first, it was in writing (email) and signed by sellers agent?

The agent’s email will not be enough. You will need the agreement signed by the sellers, as they are the contracting party.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
