How the Offer Process Works
A step-by-step explanation of how offers are submitted, received, and reviewed using Present My Offer.
Overview
Present My Offer provides a structured way to handle real estate offers. Instead of receiving offers through email, text, and phone calls, listing agents create a single intake link. Buyer's agents submit through that link, and all offers are collected in one place for review.
The process involves three parties: the listing agent, the buyer's agent, and the seller. Each has a specific role in the workflow.
For Listing Agents
The listing agent sets up the offer intake and manages the review process.
Create a Listing
Enter the property address and basic details. You can also upload a property photo that buyers will see when they open the offer form. The system generates a unique offer submission link for that listing.
Share the Submission Link
Copy the link and share it with buyer's agents. Many agents include the link in their MLS remarks so any interested agent can find it.
Receive Offer Notifications
When a buyer's agent submits an offer, the listing agent receives an email notification. The offer appears in their dashboard immediately. If you've invited sellers, they'll also receive notifications when new offers come in.
Review Submitted Offers
All offers are displayed in a consistent format. The listing agent can view offer details, attached documents, and submission timestamps. Export your offers as a PDF report or download the data as a spreadsheet to share with your team or sellers.
Invite Sellers
Invite up to 5 sellers per listing to view offers in real time through their own dashboard. Each seller receives an email invitation and can track all activity on the property.
Update Offer Status
As decisions are made, the listing agent updates each offer's status (e.g., under review, countered, declined). This is for tracking purposes only—the platform does not execute contracts.
Archive the Listing
When a property sells or is taken off market, archive the listing to keep your dashboard organized. All offer data is preserved and can be accessed anytime.
For Buyer's Agents
Buyer's agents use the submission link to send offers on behalf of their clients.
Access the Submission Link
The buyer's agent receives the submission link from the listing agent or finds it in the MLS remarks.
Complete the Offer Form
You'll see the property details, list price, and listing photo (if uploaded by the listing agent). The form collects standard offer information: offer price, financing type, contingencies, proposed closing date, and any special terms.
Attach Supporting Documents
Upload required documents such as pre-approval letters, proof of funds, or the formal purchase agreement.
Submit the Offer
Once submitted, the offer is timestamped and delivered to the listing agent. The buyer's agent receives a confirmation.
Withdraw if Needed
If the buyer decides to withdraw their offer before a decision is made, the buyer's agent can withdraw it through the system. Withdrawals are logged in the offer history.
For Sellers
Sellers can be granted access to view offers on their property.
Receive Access from the Listing Agent
The listing agent can invite up to 5 sellers per listing. Each seller receives an email invitation to view the listing's offers. The seller creates an account or logs in to accept.
View All Submitted Offers
The seller sees the same offer information the listing agent sees: price, terms, contingencies, and attached documents.
Review at Any Time
Sellers can check for new offers whenever they want, without waiting for their agent to forward emails or make phone calls.
For Co-Listing Agents
A listing agent can add one co-listing agent to any listing for shared visibility.
Receive an Invitation
The primary listing agent sends a co-listing invitation from the listing detail page. You'll receive an email with a link to accept.
Access the Listing
Once accepted, the listing appears in your dashboard. You have full read-only access to all offers, documents, and activity on the listing.
View Offers and Manage Sellers
Review every offer and attachment. You can also invite, resend, or remove seller invitations on behalf of the primary agent.
Search for Listings
Use the Search page to find active listings on Present My Offer by property address or MLS number. From search results, you can view listing details and submit offers directly.
What the Platform Does Not Do
Present My Offer is an offer organization tool. There are several things it does not handle:
- Contract execution: The platform does not sign, execute, or finalize any agreements. All contracts are handled outside the system.
- Negotiation: Counter-offers and negotiations happen through normal communication between agents.
- Legal or financial advice: The platform provides no guidance on pricing, terms, or legal matters.
- MLS integration: Listings are created manually. The platform does not pull data from or push data to MLS systems.
- Escrow or title services: All closing processes are handled by the appropriate third parties.
Record Keeping
Every action in the system is recorded with a timestamp:
- When each offer was submitted
- When documents were attached
- When offers were withdrawn
- When status changes were made
- When seller access was granted
This creates a clear record of the offer timeline, which can be useful for internal documentation or responding to questions about when specific events occurred.
Summary
The workflow can be summarized as:
- Listing agent creates a listing, uploads a photo, and gets a submission link
- Buyer agents submit offers through that link (no account required)
- Listing agent reviews all offers in one place and exports PDF or CSV reports
- Up to 5 sellers can be invited to view offers in real time
- Co-listing agents can be added for shared read-only access
- Decisions and negotiations happen through normal channels
- All activity is logged with full version history for record-keeping
The goal is to bring structure to the offer collection process without changing how agents and sellers make decisions.
