Is there a proper sequence of presentation of documents leading up to an offer presentation?
Here is a reasonable order:
Step 1
In advance, and not at the time of the Offer:
- Working with a REALTOR®
- Representation Agreement, either Buyer Representation or Listing Agreement,
Step 2
Review of Offer Documents:
- Confirmation of Cooperation and Representation,
- Offer
- Schedule A
- Any other additional Schedules
- Any documents attached to Offer
- Any documents referred to in the Offer
- Schedule B
- Offer Summary Document, if applicable (Form 801)
Step 3
Execution of Offer Documents:
- Confirmation of Cooperation and Representation,
- Offer
- Schedule A
- Any other additional Schedules
- Any documents attached to Offer
- Any documents referred to in the Offer
- Schedule B
- Offer Summary Document, if applicable (Form 801)
Step 4
Presentation of Offer Documents:
- Offer Summary Document, if applicable (Form 801)
- Confirmation of Cooperation and Representation,
- Offer
- Schedule A
- Any other additional Schedules
- Any documents attached to Offer
- Schedule B
There are sometimes other documents involved with identification (FINTRAC), multiple offers, and multiple representation, the provision of services at a lower standard than agency, which would be completed as required.
