Received fully signed offer with NO terms or conditions - Empty Offer

That is interesting isn't it!  I received one about a year ago that was very similar.  I did get in touch with the agent though.  I was told they were placing 60 offers that day!  I will remember now that is an "Empty Offer"!  Thank you!

And this agent and others are still doing business in this industry, aren't they? Doesn't that just scare the #### out of you and who knows about his clients, are they victims too? 

Amazing.  I have not heard of this happening before.  Realtors are frequently told in ethics classes that no buyer should submit offers on more than one property at a time. Anna, it was kind of you to give the buyer an opportunity to submit a real offer.

No wonder I enjoy hanging out on Active Rain - every few days I hear about something I had never heard of before.

An empty offer is definitely a new one on me.

Just sounds like a software glitch or some sort of mistake to me.  I have occasionally seen blank offers come through because the software was incompatiable between computers.

Interesting story and some of the comments as well.  Good luck getting it sold to a genuine buyer who will be there to perform on his end.

Anna, it would be tempting to scare the agent ... fill it in with a very high number and write back...accepted! That might shake them up enough to be more careful with her/his client's money.

Gotta love it, Anna.  But, like a few said, it could be a softward glitch.  If the agent were real about the offer, he would've contacted you and fixed it, but the lack of communication speak the loudest of all.  No empty offer here!!!!

perhaps the buyer was hopoing that you would fill in the blanks with better terms than they were hoping to get from you via negotiation!!

Hello Anna,

I have had this happen, but it was a mistake by the agent...using a template for the investor, I was supposed to receive a completed copy...as you mentioned - it could have been fun to fill it in(!)  

Certainly, the first I've heard of this! Opens it up to lots of problems in the end. And why would a buyer's agent want to spend all that time preparing offers that won't go anywhere?

Anna, that is another one for the books.  Attention to details is critical!

Wow this is a new one! I have experiences where a few contractual items were missing, but not an "empty offer"! I teach a forms class for our Association and now have a new term to share. I agree with Kathy Sheehan - attention to details is key - it's the key to success! Thanks for sharing your experience

Sign here and sign here... and here. No questions.

Anna, I came here from your post on Robo Offers and was curious about "empty" offers. Well, you know what they say about leaving blanks.... it might have been fun to complete it with the listing terms and sent back. 

Anna - Empty offers are not worth the paper they are written on.

Sure, I've seen offers with key details missing,  and I wonder if the agent was working on too little sleep.

This is a new level, and I'm unsure how the strategy will work.

Sadly, I too, have seen this before. Usually due to agent oversight. Pass.

Anna, just discovered this oldie, goldie from before my raintime.  It reminds me of a client who wanted to write "spaghetti" offers.  I wasn't comfortable with their process and declined.
