Make a counteroffer on a contract

When negotiating a sale, you may need to make a counteroffer after the buyer has signed the initial contract. This guide walks you through how to amend the contract and send it back to all parties for approval.

Prerequisite: The Counteroffer button will only become available after all purchasers have fully signed the contract.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open the contract in the Sign workspace. Once the buyers have signed, the Counteroffer button will appear in the top right-hand corner. Click it to begin.

  2. You will now see the document editing tools on the left. Select the Strikethrough tool.

  3. Click and drag your cursor over the original price on the contract to cross it out.

  4. Next, select the Text Box tool ("A") from the toolbar.

  5. Click on the contract near the crossed-out price and type in the new, revised offer amount.

  6. To ensure all parties acknowledge the change, add initial and date fields next to the new price for both the purchasers and the vendors.

  7. Once all changes are made and the new fields are in place, click the Save button in the top right corner.

What Happens Next?

After saving, the contract is ready to be sent back to all parties for them to initial the changes. This counteroffer process can be repeated as many times as necessary until an agreement is reached and the contract is ready for exchange.
