Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 3 Exam Practice

What is NOT typically required as part of the process when a buyer's offer is accepted?

1. The seller must sign the Confirmation of Acceptance

2. The buyer must receive a signed copy of the accepted agreement

3. The Co-operating/Buyer Brokerage details must be completed

4. The listing brokerage must notify all parties of acceptance

5. The seller must provide a written counteroffer if applicable

6. The buyer must sign the Acknowledgement

The correct answer is: The listing brokerage must notify all parties of acceptance

The reason D is correct lies in the standard practices following the acceptance of an offer. Once a buyer's offer is accepted, there is no strict requirement for the listing brokerage to notify all parties involved, such as other potential buyers or agents, about the acceptance. While it is considered good communication practice to inform other interested parties, it is not a mandated step in completing the transaction process. In real estate transactions, after an offer is accepted, several important steps typically occur, such as the seller signing the Confirmation of Acceptance to formalize the agreement, the buyer receiving a signed copy to ensure they have a record of the accepted terms, and completing all brokerage details to ensure all parties involved are documented correctly. Additionally, if a counteroffer is made prior to acceptance, it's necessary for the seller to provide it in writing. Acknowledgments from the buyer, while beneficial for clarity, are not universally required in all agreements either.
