What to include
Financial support for the offer
For a financed offer, include a signed prequalification or mortgage approval letter dated within 30 days of the offer submission date. The letter—or separate written confirmation from the lender—must identify the loan type, supported purchase price, loan amount, maximum interest rate and amortization term so the financing terms can be accurately addressed in an offer or counteroffer. For a cash offer, include proof of funds dated within 30 days. The applicable document must support at least the full offered purchase price. Account numbers may be redacted.
Loan officer contact information
The mortgage approval or preapproval letter must clearly include the loan officer's:
- Email address
- Business phone number
- Cellphone number
Required MLS documents
Include all applicable documents supplied with the listing:
- Property Disclosure
- Lead-Based Paint Disclosure, when applicable
- Waiver of Warranty and Redhibition Rights
- Fortuitous Event Addendum
- Any other listing-specific document provided in the MLS
Separate offer PDF
Keep the Offer to Purchase separate.
Please submit the Offer to Purchase as its own PDF, separate from the preapproval or proof of funds, disclosures, addenda and other supporting documents. This helps prevent property disclosures from being forwarded to the lender with the contract.

Insurance reminder
Begin shopping before submitting.
Buyers are strongly encouraged to begin shopping for homeowners and flood insurance, when applicable, before submitting an offer. Louisiana insurance availability and cost may materially affect the buyer's payment and financing.
Inspection reminder
Plan for an early inspection.
Please contact the buyer's preferred inspection company before submitting to determine its earliest availability. If possible, tentatively reserve a date near the beginning of the requested inspection and due-diligence period. If the offer does not become a contract, the appointment may be canceled.
Louisiana contract deadlines are calculated using calendar days, including weekends. We find it helpful to inspect early and, when possible, negotiate inspection matters on weekdays so clients can contact contractors, obtain estimates or bids, and evaluate requested remedies before the deadline.
Weekend offer policy
Please allow additional time.
Please allow an additional 48 hours for offers and responses received during the weekend. Set the offer expiration date and time accordingly.
Complete offer packages help us present your client's offer promptly and accurately. If anything is missing, review may be delayed while we request the outstanding information. Submission does not guarantee acceptance, counteroffer or a particular response time. Offers are handled in accordance with the seller's instructions and applicable Louisiana requirements.
