The Offer

An offer is a legally binding contract that, once you've accepted it, commits you and the buyer to fulfilling all contractual terms and conditions to complete the transaction. Each party to the contract, you and the buyer, will have specific obligations to fulfill and tasks to complete while executing the contract. Offers are most likely to be submitted using the Offer to Purchase and Contract, Standard Form 2-T, jointly approved by the NC Bar Association and the NC Association of Realtors.

Please familiarize yourself with this form and don't hesitate to call a ValuePlus Properties professional with any questions you may have.
