Kathleen Daniels Yes, I do. It's the courteous thing to do.

Yes I do. No one sends me one when I send an offer though. I'm the only one with manners I guess.

Wow, 80 pages & the 'offer' isn't completed yet.

It is good business practice to confirm receipt.

I do.  Usually immediately.

Yes I always do and I also make sure I get receipt of offers.

Absolutely.

Yes.  Yes, I do confirm receipt and thank them for their offer.   I have been where you are and appreciate the effort it takes to present a full offer package.   

Every time.

Positively and also always confirm my offers are received...in writing!

Yes I always do.

It's automatic...they submit an offer to "offers@....." - the auto responder confirms receipt and thanks them for the offer, and advises them of next steps!! 

I stay on front lines until I dont have to. I encoruage others to do the same

Always.

I agree with you that it is very disrespectful to at lest acknowledge receiving a package. 

Kathleen, a "Got it" or "Received" goes back from me whenever I get an offer on one of our listings.  When I send over an offer I ask for an acknowlegment.  The listing agent's response (or lack of one) usually tells me what I'll be dealing with the rest of the negotiations, assuming that any will happen at all.

You have hit upon one of my pet peeves...confirmation of anything!  I ask for confirmation, I text, I call, I use the Outlook option showing the email was relayed and read (but I think the receiver of the email must actually agree to that).  Regardless, I just do not understand why it is so hard to get a confirmation....if I receive the answer to a question or an addendum or anything at all, I confirm receipt.  It's not you, it's them.

Rudeness sometimes has no boundaries. 

Absolutely and even let them know if I have or have not reached my client.  Example...

"I have left my sellers a voicemail and forwarded the offer to them, but am waiting for them to return my call.  I'll be in touch, thanks for the offer"

would be a typical response with an hour.

Absolutely, whether asked for or not. And I always ask for acknowledgement as well - doesn't always happen. Definitely poo form to not acknowledge, and technolgoy does not always work!

yes Kathleen Daniels that's the right thing to do. 

This is a good business practice.

Over 80 pages of disclosures?? yeef! 

Yes, it seems only courteous to respond with "Thank you for your offer, I'll be presenting your offer to my clients in the next hour, and will get back to you as soon as possible".

I would recommend, however, that if you're submitting an offer via email... to request a "confirmation"... or follow up with a quick phone call, confirming that the offer has been received, "and when can we anticipate a response?".

Yes I do and I ask for confirmation when sending one.

I always put in my voicemail, text and email to please acknowledge reciept of the offer and I then get a response. I do respond even without being asked.

In this crazy market it is a good idea.

No, you are absolutely not expecting too much, Kathleen.  Not only is that how it should be done professionally but, it's just common courtesy as well.  I haven't read the other comments yet but, I'm hoping to see that you got a response!

Yes, I do, and I always appreciate when the other agent acknowledges the same Kathleen Daniels - it takes 'a second' to do that!  I hope that the deadline was met!!  Good Luck . . . 

I always confirm receipt and thank them for sending the offer!  When sending offers to others, I always ask that they confirm they have received it so that I know all is well so I don't have to pester them. And I will pester them.......

eMail confirmation.

As most try to delegate it is becoming more of a bad habit not to acknowlege receipt.

I always confirm receipt... do unto others, right? 

Too many agents continue to fail basic communication.  I wonder what their clients would say if they knew what was REALLY going on...

Looks like you are talking to the choir, the ActiveRain choir. 

Yes, it is not only courteous but professional.

Yes, all the time!

Yes.

Since I like to receive confirmation I always give them.

Kathleen Daniels - For a Professional, I'd say, yes, it should be done.

However, at times, when I have sent the offers for my buyers, I have not received the confirmation despite asking for it.

I do.  And when I send one to an agent, I also call to confirm receipt.  

Yes I do. I think it's just common courtest and part of covering my butt. 

I alway respond if asked for, however, there are even agents that won't rspond to an email or even phone calls.

No you are not expecting to much..a simple click that says received is all that is needed!

Yes, it's a courtesy.  I appreciate it when others acknowledge receipt of offers I submit as well.

I'm getting better at it !!!

Kathleen - I confirm receipt of offers just so the other agent knows the offer was received.

Absolutely not too much to expect! I always confirm upon receipt and expect the same when presenting. Written acknowledgments would be particularly helpful, especially if a timeline needs to be established.

Professionals respond, maybe the other agent has another full time job. Call their Broker....

I always follow up - whether I'm subnitting the offer or am the receiver of one - there's no accounting for poor practices so it's up to me

But I hear ya Kathleen!

Yes, I do ask for confirmation.

yes

ALWAYS as i would hope i get when i send one that usually never comes. At least i know i did things right

Yes, it's only polite and professional not to leave someone hanging when so many things can go awry in cyberspace.
