After submitting an offer on a Chappaqua home, keep a record of the version sent and the response received. Waiting does not necessarily mean rejection, and an encouraging conversation does not establish that the purchase is complete.
Record the starting point
Retain the proposal you approved and ask whether delivery has been confirmed. Note any response timing communicated by the listing side, distinguishing an expectation from a commitment. Agree on when your agent will follow up.
Document each proposed change
If a counteroffer or clarification arrives, review the exact change and its effect on the full proposal. Identify questions for your attorney or lender. Confirm your instructions before a revised position is sent and label the new version clearly.
Clarify the next handoff
If the parties appear aligned, ask your attorney to explain the legal status and required next steps. Record responsible contacts and confirmed deadlines for professional coordination. If the seller chooses someone else, request available feedback without assuming all accepted terms will be disclosed.
