Here’s what’s needed to submit an offer:
Offer terms (price, cash/financing, timeline, contingencies)
Proof of funds and/or mortgage pre-approval
REBNY Financial Statement
We’ll work with you to finalize all offer details and send a clean, clear summary to the listing agent with the above materials.
To complete the required REBNY form, we’ve created a questionnaire that collects your info.
Once submitted:
We’ll prepare the actual REBNY form on your behalf.
You’ll receive it via DigiSign to review and sign.
Guidelines:
Use exact amounts from recent statements.
For account balances, include the institution name, last 4 digits, and balance.
Mark N/A or $0.00 where something doesn’t apply.
Depending on how you’re purchasing:
If Financing:
A mortgage pre-approval is required.
We’re happy to introduce a trusted NYC mortgage broker or banker.
If Paying in Cash:
Please send the first page of a recent statement showing a balance that covers the purchase.
You can redact account numbers—as long as your name and balance are visible, that’s sufficient.
If combining accounts, multiple pages are fine.
Need help redacting? We can assist with hiding details like account numbers—only your name and balance need to be visible.
Offers in NY are non-binding until a contract is fully signed. You may submit multiple offers and are only committed once you sign one contract.
We suggest having a real estate attorney ready in advance. If you don’t yet have one, we highly recommend:

Also included will be our Non-Exclusive Buyer’s Agreement:
Clarifies our role in your purchase.
