Buyers and sellers must understand that their brokerage representatives:

  • cannot make or accept an offer on their behalf unless they have the legal authority to do so;are their representative for the purposes of communicating and receiving notice of offers, counter offers and acceptances unless written instructions to the contrary have been given by the Buyer or Seller.

Keep in mind the following exceptions:

  • an offer may be withdrawn by the Buyer at any time before the Seller’s acceptance of the offer has been communicated to the Buyer;
  • a counter offer by the Seller is irrevocable, which means the Seller cannot cancel or withdraw a counter offer they have made to the Buyer;
  • an acceptance of an offer or counter offer is only effective once the acceptance is communicated to the party who made the offer or counter offer or to their duly authorized agent;
  • an acceptance must be communicated in the manner specified and by the time prescribed, if any, in the offer or counter offer; and
  • when an offer or counter offer has been accepted, there is a binding contract between the Buyer and Seller, even though the contract may specify certain conditions that must be met ( for example, the Buyer being approved for a mortgage).

Please do not hesitate to call me if you have additional questions.

Have a super day!

Offers, Cape Breton Real Estate

April 24th, 2009 by Terri in Baddeck Real Estate, Cape Breton Real Estate, House, buying hints, cape breton

According to the Nova Scotia Association of Realtors;

When a buyer finds a property they wish to purchase, it is customary for them to make an offer on an Agreement of Purchase and Sale to the Seller through the brokerage representative. The offer may be accepted by the Seller or modified and returned to the Buyer as a counter offer. If the Buyer receives a counter offer they may  accept or reject it. If the Buyer rejects the counter offer, they must make a new offer to continue negotiations.

The exchange of offers and counter offers may continue until the Buyer and Seller accepts the terms proposed by the other party or withdraws from the negotiations. Where buyers and sellers are working with brokerage representatives, the exchange of offers, counter offers and acceptances is conducted through their representative.

To be continued…..

Wishing one and all a super day!

Cabot Trail Relay, Baddeck, NS

April 15th, 2009 by Terri in Baddeck Real Estate, Community, Events, cape breton

The Cabot Trail Relay is a 298 kilometer, 17 stage , 24 hour relay race around beautiful Cape Breton. The event this year will feature 70 teams of 17 runners ( the most teams to date) , will start on May 23, 09 at the Gaelic College and finish up at approximately 9:45 AM in Baddeck on the 24th of May.

Participating teams hail from Nova Scotia,  New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Maine, Massachusetts and Minnesota.  A great way to kick off the tourist season with so many fine runners and their support people visiting the area.

With the success and growth of the race, organizers have been able to generously give bursaries to the four local high schools in the area. The economic boost to the area is much appreciated.

The trail itself poses challenging terrain as well as the spectacular scenery for which the Cabot Trail  is renown.  One can imagine the gorgeous sunsets and cool breezes that greet the runners as the wind their way along the endless twists and turns that await them.

The amazing comradeship of these volunteers, support people, runners and community members is exceptional. The final stage of the event consists of a steak or lobster dinner at the arena, a feat carried out with expert timing and precision. Having personally witnessed the dedication and pride the organizers of this event have realized, I know future runs will be exceptional as well.

Wishing one and all a super day!
