If a seller accepts a secondary offer according to the WB-11 Residential Offer to Purchase, what can the seller do?

When a seller accepts a secondary offer under the WB-11 Residential Offer to Purchase, the seller has a responsibility to communicate effectively with all parties involved. Accepting the secondary offer requires that the seller provide written notice to the primary buyer about the acceptance of the new offer. This is crucial because it ensures transparency and allows the primary buyer to understand the situation with their offer, which could potentially lead them to modify their offer or negotiate further. This written notice can help facilitate a smoother transaction and avoid potential disputes later.

Accepting both offers simultaneously or canceling the primary offer without notice could lead to legal complications and misunderstandings. Automatically notifying all parties involved without proper communication regarding the primary offer would also not meet legal requirements and could result in liability for the seller. Therefore, providing written notice to the primary buyer is the necessary and acceptable action the seller should take in this scenario.
