VIa DocuSign, but with a phone call to dicuss the offer and terms point-by-point.

Usually by emailing a PDF but I have done digital docs too Inna, I need to get more in to the paperless scene.

I don't do the sealed envelope - however I do include a note of introduction with every offer that personalizes my buyer and adds the strength of my experience and those resources I bring to the table to the transaction. 

Makes a difference....and when everything counts, sometimes it carries the day.

eMail and leave a VM on the agent's phone & text it.

I have a cover letter many busy agents often do not even look at them if they submit offers themselves.

I send it by email, ask for confirmation they got it, and then text them to let them know I sent one.

Docusign is not legal up here for Offers (yet)  I cannot imagine allowing a Buyer's Agent access to my Seller - wow, different strokes for different folks.   However, if a Seller wants my offer hermetically sealed  in a #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnalls' back porch, I'm going to do it  :)

Online.  

Inna Ivchenko - now that must be an unique situation! I am like you - I still send the offers electronically - for many years now.

Hi Inna -- most of the time listing agents like to have offers delivered via email(good way to keep track).  I also have seen an increasing number(still small) of requests to hand deliver in a sealed envelope offers to the listing office.

I ask the listing agent what their client prefers and follow their instructions in order to show that I want to make the transaction work.  That said, I do sometimes miss the days of presenting an offer in person --- nothing like looking at the sellers and the listing agent at the kitchen/dining room table. Most times, those days are long gone.

Although it may be a little different, Bring it down and ask for receipt. If that is what the seller wants you may risk the sale. There may be a great reason why. Maybe they want to keep the playing field level. For example if this was a hot listing the agent may be fielding alot of calls and offers. The seller may be making sure they are receiving all and the best one:). 

Digitally, if it's an associate I know and in person if I don't, whenever possible. That initial contact is important in my view. 

Paperless with a phone call to the listing agent asking if they will be recommending out offer to their seller.

If they need it in a 'sealed envelope' that is what I will do.  However, it clearly reveals the nature of the orgainzation with the listing.

What do I do? Follow the instructions or:

1. Call agent to advice offer will be presented within hours. Confirm instructions and any time and/or finance issues.

2. Email offer to agent.

3. Call agent to verify receipt and approximate time presented to seller.

4. Touch base 12 hours later.

In the last couple of years it has been electronically.

Email that way I have a tracking of the transaction

Electronically with a cover sheet and ask for confirmation of receipt 

Personally when ever possible...To the seller and their agent!

I remember having to FAX everything when I started out, but now everything is by email.

Up until about a year ago I would present each offer from my Buyer directly to the Seller with the Listing agent present of course!

I email the offer and call the agent, send a text and ask for a response that the agent has received the offer.

via email if posible , fax as an alternative, great question have a great day Inna

Inna, I have not seen such instruction, people make unusual request.

wow....that's one you don't see every day. In this case, I would probably hand deliver.

I do what ever the agent ask in the private remarks.  It sounds like a mulitple offer situation you are dealing with.

  If there are no instructions on the MLS I call the listing agent for their preference.

In North Carolina the offer is not anything - until its communicated. So I send a text message, an email (with a read receipt requested) and call the listing agent. I do this right away and ask for confirmation from the listing agent that they in fact received the offer.

If a listing requires the offer on paper in a sealed envelope I am eager to comply!  (love the supense too) But I still get a receipt from someone saying that they have it.

Great topic!

Thanks

Using only Docusign.That is way I would submit the offer. 

I email as an attachment and call and occasionally text as well that I have sent the offer.

Email

I would send it in sealed envelope if that's what they want. Get proof of delivery. Many sellers still won't use digital signatures. They want printed offers, so they can review them page by page, ask questions, make any inital any changes, etc. But, usually i delievr offers in a pdf. They can scroll and read online, and only printh the pages they want to make changes on if they won't use digital.

Yes, they're taking the best offer.  Go on Yahoo and read about Michael Jordans house in Chicago.  They're doing the exact same thing. It was on Yahoo today.
