A: It depends on the wording of the offer. If not clear in the offer, then make it clear before you sign it, or give it back. Or cross out what you don't like, making it a counter offer. Buyers will either agree or not. It is prudent to consult an attorney to help you with a contract. Use the Find a Layer tab to consult a local real estate attorney.
