With Tanero

Or say it once. ORBIT sends it.

Tell ORBIT the offer was accepted and it moves the deal to Under Contract, creates tasks for the deposit, the inspection and the financing date, and books the inspection on your calendar. It texts the celebration from your Tanero number and sends the next-steps email from your own Gmail or Outlook. If your buyers call at 10 p.m. with a question, ORBIT answers, speaks with them in whichever of its 100+ languages they use, and passes the question to you. ORBIT can also place the day-two check-in call and report back. In Approval mode, which is where every account starts, both messages wait for your OK.

The Hoffmans' offer on 87 Union Boulevard in Kitchener is accepted. Move them to Under Contract, create tasks for the deposit, inspection and financing date, and draft the next-steps email.

Questions

Before you send it.

What should an offer accepted congratulations message say?

Congratulate them warmly, then point to what happens next. One line of celebration and one line of next steps is enough for a text; the details belong in an email.

Is the deal firm once the offer is accepted?

Not if it has conditions such as financing or an inspection. Say accepted, conditions next, so clients aren't surprised. It becomes firm once every condition is met or waived.

Should I send a gift now or at closing?

Most realtors save the gift for closing day. Right now, clients value clear next steps and quick answers more than anything you could wrap.

How do I congratulate sellers when their home sells?

Call them, then send a short text with the conditions date. Sellers often worry until the deal is firm, so tell them when you expect to hear from the buyers.
