Form WB-44 example filled out, example: the buyers counter an Offer to Purchase
Alex and Riley Sample, buyers, make Counter-Offer No. 2 on a house. They reject the Offer to Purchase dated March 3, 2026, and change only the closing date. The picture shows their entries; its names and figures are sample values. The buyers allow the sellers until March 24, 2026 to accept, and move the closing to April 15, 2026. Pat Agent of Example Realty drafted the Counter-Offer on March 10, 2026 and presented it on March 11, 2026. The sellers have not answered yet, so Seller's Signature stays empty. Only one term changes, so the lines after it stay empty, and nothing goes in The attached is/are made part of this Counter-Offer because no document is attached. Nothing goes in This Counter-Offer is (rejected)(countered), Party's Initials because the sellers have not answered.
