As soon as I’m aware that an offer is likely to be made, I like to call my seller and let them know what’s going on. The important point to mention here is that a sale cannot be formally recorded unless all legally required documentation is present. So even if a buyer makes me a ‘dream’ offer within a few days of the property hitting the market, nothing happens without the paperwork. In any case, a genuine buyer (or their legal representative) will want to look at all documentation before making an offer. Helping a buyer prepare to buy is where the real ‘selling’ comes in. 73.
