Making Blind Written Offers

[Nick Deshotels]

BP Nation, I'm getting ready to start making written offers, so I just have a few questions regarding the process. Is the offer basically just a purchase agreement acclaimed with some sort of an explanation of the offer? I just want the seller to understand my intentions even though it may be evident from the purchase agreement. Any other pointers regarding this topic would be appreciated. Thanks, Nick Thanks

@Nick Deshotels there are a few ways to approach an offer:

• A simple Notice of Interest- Not contractual but it's a simple way to show your intention. You can't use this for properties listed on the MLS. Well you can but it wouldn't be considered a strong offer. If it's a property w/ a lot of interest from other buyers then this may not be the way to go.
• A purchase contract- Whether simple or complex as long as the contract lays out your offer (price), when you can close, contingencies & earnest $, then all your intentions are known by being in writing.
