Who must sign the offers list of presents to the seller?

• A. The buyer's representative
• B. The seller only
• C. The buyer only
• D. The seller and/or the listing salesperson

Answer: (D)

When offers are presented, there needs to be a record that the seller received the offer and that someone on the seller’s side acknowledged it. In Manitoba practice, that acknowledgment is provided by the seller themselves or by the listing salesperson who represents the seller. The seller signs to confirm they’ve received and reviewed the offer, and the listing salesperson can sign on the seller’s behalf if the seller is unavailable. The buyer’s representative isn’t the signer on this acknowledgment because they’re not the recipient of the offer. So the appropriate signatories are the seller and/or the listing salesperson, depending on who is available to acknowledge the presentation.
