Hi, The seller has received multiple offers on [property address]. The seller has authorized this disclosure, and every buyer’s agent is receiving the same information at the same time. The seller is asking every buyer for their highest and best offer by [offer deadline]. Please send any changes to price or terms in writing by then. If we don’t hear from you, your current offer will stand as submitted. The seller will review every offer after the deadline, and I’ll let each buyer’s agent know the outcome. [Your name] [Brokerage]

In a multiple-offer situation, the fastest way to lose trust is to tell one buyer’s agent something the others didn’t hear. These templates keep every message equal: each one that mentions other offers says the seller authorized the disclosure and that every buyer’s agent is getting the same information. What you may share depends on your seller’s consent and your state, so check the disclosure rules for your state first.

How this works

Pick a template, fill in your details, and the email and text versions update as you type. Blank fields show as [placeholders] so nothing goes out half-filled.

Templates that mention other offers always include a line saying the seller authorized the disclosure and that every buyer’s agent is getting the same information. If you choose a state, the disclosure options follow its rules: in Wisconsin, for example, you can share only that offers exist and how many, and in North Carolina you’ll be reminded to get the offering buyer’s permission before sharing a price.

Questions

What should a highest-and-best request include?

What the seller has authorized you to disclose, a firm deadline with a time, what happens if a buyer doesn’t respond, and when the seller will decide. Send it to every buyer’s agent at the same time.

Can I edit the templates?

Yes. Fill in the form, copy the text, and change anything you like before sending. Keep the line saying the seller authorized the disclosure in any message that mentions other offers.

Why is there a text-message version?

Many buyer’s agents read texts first. The text version gives the same information in two text messages or fewer, with plain characters so it isn’t split into extra messages.
