Offers explained

Offer: A formal bid from the home buyer to the home seller to purchase a home. The offer should be in writing. You may choose to accept or reject this offer for any reason that is not discriminatory (race, age, etc.) or submit a counteroffer changing any terms you do not like.

Counter-offer: An offer made in response to a previous offer. For example, after the buyer presents their first offer, the seller may make a counter-offer with a slightly higher sale price.

Once the seller and buyer agree to all terms of the offer you will have a ratified sales contract which will include sales contingencies, such as obtaining a mortgage of a certain type and rate, getting an acceptable inspection, making repairs, closing by a certain date, etc.
