Deal Sheet for Buyers

15 min

For dispositions managers and assistants. After reading this page you will be able to build an accurate deal sheet that a cash buyer can decide on quickly, and keep a buyer activity summary your client can read at a glance.

Track: Real Estate · Role: Dispositions · Time to complete: 15 min

What the deal sheet is for

The deal sheet is the one document a buyer reads before deciding to walk the property or make an offer. It must be accurate. Buyers check the ARV first, then the repairs, then the price. A team known for honest numbers sells deals in days.

The content rules are on the Dispositions Manager page and the Deal Presentation Call script.

Before you send it

  • Client approval to market this property
  • Market Compliance Card checked for the state (some states regulate marketing a property you only have under contract)
  • ARV from the Comps and ARV Worksheet, with 3 or more comps
  • Repair tier and main items from the Repair Tier Worksheet
  • Price, deposit and deadlines confirmed with the client and the TC
  • Access rules confirmed with the TC (lockbox, showing times, tenant notice)
  • Buyer list filtered to the matching buy box

Coach's note: Lead with facts, not excitement. "3/2 ranch, ARV 250K on three renovated sales within half a mile, Full Cosmetic at 50K, price 118K" sells better to a serious buyer than any adjective. Serious buyers do their own math in ten seconds.

Never do this: Never send a deal before the client approves marketing and the state's Market Compliance Card is checked. Never put the seller's personal situation or contact details on a deal sheet, and never include the original seller contract or its price unless the client approves it in writing. Never defend an ARV you cannot support with comps.

Check yourself

  1. What does a buyer check first on a deal sheet?
  2. Name four items in the Price and Terms block.
  3. Which seller information stays off a deal sheet?
  4. What does the buyer activity summary tell the client?
Answers
  1. The ARV and its comps.
  2. Any four of: price, deal structure, earnest money and deadline, funding allowed, as-is condition, who pays closing costs, closing date, title company.
  3. The seller's personal situation and contact details. The original seller contract and its price only appear if the client approves in writing.
  4. How many matching buyers were contacted, walkthroughs, offers, the highest offer, why buyers passed, the lock deadline and your recommendation.
