Par écrit s'il vous plaît. 
In French, the phrase, par écrit s'il vous plaît means 'in writing please' and is clearly a requirement in any industry that involves:
- financial matters
- exchange of goods
- trust between parties
After finding a home buyer clients wished to purchase, I submitted an offer on their behalf. The listing agent immediately calls me upon receipt, asking me to re-write the offer for a higher dollar amount.
He must have thought to shorttrack the transaction by throwing out a number, in an effort to negotiate without consulting the sellers. Verbal has no place in our industry, it means virtually nothing.
Effectively communicating with buyers and sellers so they can make informed decisions is crucial. The listing agent finally responded in writing but my clients had moved on but feeling a little skeptical now.
Everything in writing or you are doing a diservice to clients. Second place is not acceptable in an industry where being first determines the goal of home ownership.
Happy sales all!
