Better Properties Real Estate Group

The highest price isn't always the best offer.

A deposit that's too small, a financing condition, a closing date months past your plan: these can matter as much as the price. Enter each offer and see them side by side, with plain-English flags on what could go wrong.

Your side

Optional, but it lets us compare what each offer is really worth to you.

Mortgage, property tax, utilities, insurance. Used to price a later closing.

The offers

Copy the details from each Agreement of Purchase and Sale. Leave a condition unticked if the offer doesn't include it.

Side by side

Enter a price for at least two offers to compare them.

How to read an offer

What each part of an offer means for you, in plain terms.

Firm vs conditional

A firm offer is binding once accepted. A conditional offer lets the buyer walk away if a condition isn't met, and your home sits off the market while you wait.

Financing condition

The buyer needs their lender's final approval. It's common, but if the appraisal comes in low or their approval falls through, the deal can collapse.

Sale of the buyer's home

The riskiest condition: your sale depends on theirs. If you accept one, ask about an escape clause that lets you keep marketing your home.

The deposit

Usually around 5% in the GTA, held in trust. A bigger deposit means a buyer with more at stake and more money on hand. Check when it's due, not just how much.

Closing date

Every extra month before closing costs you mortgage interest, taxes and utilities. A closing that doesn't fit your next move can also mean bridge financing or a short-term rental.

Inclusions and requests

Appliances, light fixtures, a vendor take-back, extra visits: small requests add up. Read them before you compare prices.

Offer night shouldn't feel like a guess.

We review every offer line by line with you, counter where it helps, and explain the trade-offs before anything is signed. You make the call with the full picture.
