Offers can be found under the Transaction tab.
An agent usually creates an offer on behalf of a prospective buyer. A prospective buyer can also submit an offer for a listing themselves in DIXU.
In Linear, you start creating an offer by clicking New offer. To create an offer, certain fields must be filled in on the property information form. When you start an offer, the system will notify you if any required information is missing.
If a similar offer has already been created for the listing, you can copy it to a new one, which means fewer fields need to be filled in. The copy function is available at the end of the offer row, under the three-dot menu.
To begin with, choose whether you want to use the system’s (Linear’s) offer template or your own template. If the offer has been signed outside the system using your own template, we still recommend saving the offer in Linear as well, so it can be found later in Linear’s archive if needed.
When using the Linear offer template you can choose whether to hide the buyers’ details from the offer form. If this is a conditional offer (for example, subject to the sale of the buyer’s own home), you can specify that marketing of the listing will continue and the listing remains in the For sale status even if the offer is accepted.
While drafting the offer—and especially before creating it—it’s a good idea to preview it carefully. The Preview button is located in the top-left corner of the offer form.
Once you’ve filled in the offer details, click Create offer. After confirming the creation of the offer, you’ll have the option to send it for preview. This allows the offering party to confirm the details are correct, after which you can choose how the offerors will sign: the offer can either be sent for electronic signature, or you can upload a manually signed offer form to the system. If there are multiple offerors, some can sign electronically and others manually. An offer that has been partially signed electronically can also be downloaded from the system. During the offer process, the agent first sends the offer to the offerors for signing, and then—after the agent’s confirmation—to the acceptors for signing.
NOTE: When you create an offer by clicking Create offer, it is not yet sent to any of the parties involved.
