NOW they publicize it - (I should read the entire handbook...)

If you've been in this business longer than 5 minutes one of the things that will pop into your mind
and your buyers mind is "How do I know the sellers received my offer?"

We can ask the listing agent, the broker, and even the tooth fairy but we really weren't assured
that a seller received the offer that our buyers submitted if we were getting clues to the contrary:
No return phone calls from the listing agent, vague "they got it" responses, nothing in writing for
several days, etc.

With the many bank owned properties that our buyers are submitting offers on it is even more
difficult to be assured that the bank/asset manager received our buyer clients offers. Now there
IS a way for buyers and buyers agents to be assured that the owners of the properties have indeed
received their offers to purchase:

It seems that in our Rules & Regulations that it has always been acceptable for us to ask for a receipt
by the listing agent in writing letting us and our buyers know that their offer has been delivered to
the seller.

Above is a snippet of a form that our local MLS now has online for us. It's very simple actually, it can
be sent along with any offer and the listing agent fills it out and mails it back to the buyers agent.

I'm going to print out 50 copies of it and tuck it inside of my purchase agreement file.
