You mentioned buyer should make offer with earnest money and a written offer with terms and conditions specified.

My questions
1. Does buyer need to engage a lawyer at this stage to draft the written offer?
My understanding is that buyer only engages lawyer after offer is accepted, in order to draft a SPA between buyer and vendor.

2. Any there any standard written offer template document that buyers should use?

3. To which party will the earnest deposit be made payable to?
Do we make the earnest deposit payable to the agent (negotiator).

4. Is earnest deposit refundable if the deal does not go through for whatever reason? Should the buyer put in this refund term in the written offer?

5. To avoid any conflict of interest, should the buyer always engage his/her own agent to convey the offer to the vendor’s agent? In this case, are there any difference in the real estate agent fees payable by the buyer?

6. Do/Can agents use earnest deposits as their fee? When should buyer pay the agent his/her fees?

Thanks a lot!!
