How do I submit an offer?
Here is a step-by-step guide to submitting a first-time offer on Kazork:
1.) Click on the "Properties" tab at the top of the page.
2.) You can now search for the property you are looking for. Once you have found it, click on its address to bring up the OSP Property Details page.
3.) On the Property Details page, click on the link that says "Click here to setup your Buyer list." This link appears above the "Submit Offer" button on this page. *Note: You must have a buyer entered and selected in order to submit an offer.
4.) Once you click on this link, it will take you off of the OSP page and into your MyKazork MyBuyers page. Click on "Add New Buyer" on the left-hand side of the page and enter their name in the box. It does not have to be your buyer's real name if you do not want to use it. This is merely a tool to help you manage different offers from different buyers.
5.) Choose the buyer type, you may also enter any notes about them if you wish. When ready, click "Save" next to your new buyer's name. Your buyer's name should appear below the blue line.
6.) Click on the red link in the upper left-hand corner of the MyKazork area that says "Return to OSP Details". *Note: Clicking anywhere else in your MyKazork will not allow you to return directly to the OSP page; you will have to search for the property again.
7.) Once you are back on the Property Details page, a drop-down menu should appear that says "Select Buyer" above the "Submit Offer" button. Click on this menu and select your buyer's name. Then click the "Submit Offer" button.
8.) On the next page, select from a Single Offer or a Maximum Auto-Offer. If you have questions about the difference between the two offer types, click on the question mark next to each one for more information.
9.) Enter the offer amount in the field next to the offer type you selected.
10.) In the total credits field, enter the total amount of credits your buyer needs, if any at all. This includes closing costs, repairs, allowances, etc. Your Net Offer will be automatically calculated below.
11.) Click "Confirm Offer" and review your offer information on the next page.
12.) Agree to the Terms and Conditions and click "Submit Offer". This will post your offer on the website and is the final step in submitting.
Can I submit an offer lower than the listing price?
No. The listing price is already the lowest price the seller has said they are willing to accept.
What is Overtime?
Overtime is what happens when an offer is submitted on a property within the last fifteen minutes of the OSP. If this occurs; the OSP will be extended another 15 minutes beyond the original end time. If an offer is submitted during the Overtime period, it will extend the OSP for another 15 minutes beyond the first Overtime’s end time. This will continue until a 15-minute Overtime period passes without an offer being made. This helps protect agents from those who wait until the last second to make a high offer on a property to prevent others from countering them.
When will I find out if my offer was the highest?
You can track all offers on a property at any time by going to that property’s OSP page and clicking on the “Offer History” tab. (Hint: if the property's OSP has ended, search for it as a "Sold" property.) You may also see properties currently running an OSP that you have offers on, as well as your offer’s status by going to MyKazork, clicking on “My Current Properties” and then “Offers”. Kazork will notify you automatically by e-mail if someone else submits a higher offer than yours.
If you buyer submits the highest offer at the end of the Offer Submission Period (OSP):
1) You will receive a call and an email from us confirming that you were the winning agent.
2) You will receive a second email with detailed offer instructions for submitting the contract along with any riders to the seller.
If you do not receive this email before the end of the business day (5 PM PST) on the day the OSP ends you may contact (619) 255-0928 extension 775 to check status.
NOTE: Contracts are due back within 48 hours after you receive the detailed offer instructions email from us.
I have more than one buyer that wants to submit an offer on the same property, what do I do?
You can manage your buyers in MyKazork. Go to MyKazork and click on My Buyers. You can add, edit, and delete your buyers here; then submit offers on the behalf of different buyers. This is simply to help YOU manage your buyers; your buyer’s information will not show up on the Offer History. If you do not wish to use your buyers’ real names, you are not required to do so.
I’ve registered and logged in but I still can’t submit offers.
You must wait to be authorized before you can submit offers. You will receive an e-mail notification once you have been authorized.
Can I submit an offer over the weekend?
Once your account with Kazork has been authorized, you may submit offers 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Does it cost me anything to use Kazork?
It’s free to register with Kazork. Once you are registered and authorized you may submit offers. If you close a Kazork transaction, you receive a high commission at the end. See the OSP page of the property you are interested in for specific information.
Is Kazork the listing broker?
No. Kazork has entered into Limited Service Listings, (aka MLS Entry-Only Listings) which state that the listing broker will enter the property into the MLS, offer a cooperating commission, follow all rules of the local MLS, and will have the exclusive right to sell the listing. Limited Service Listings state that Buyer’s Agents submit offers directly to the seller and its assignees. Our Web site serves as the tool for you to do so.
Should my buyer fill out a purchase agreement and deposit check?
That is up to you. On Kazork, you are submitting a purchase price only. If your purchase price is the highest at the end of the OSP, you will be required to fill out a purchase agreement and collect a deposit check at that time. However, if taking this step before submitting your purchase price online makes you feel more comfortable, go ahead.
My buyer is willing to pay all cash. Do we still have to wait for the OSP to end?
Yes. Kazork assumes all transactions will close, regardless of financing terms. The highest offer at the end of the OSP will be presented to the seller for acceptance.
My buyer had the highest offer and the OSP just ended. What happens now?
You will receive an e-mail and a phone call at the end of the OSP with notification that you have the highest offer. Shortly after, you will receive another e-mail with instructions on filling out a paper purchase agreement which you can then fax or e-mail to us along with the deposit check. From that point on, it’s a standard real estate transaction.
If you have the highest offer and do not receive an e-mail or phone call before the end of the business day (5 PM PST) on the day the OSP ended, you may call us at 1(619) 255-0928 extension 775 to check status.
I had the highest offer, is the seller required to accept it?
No, the seller reserves the right to accept or reject any offer regardless of terms, times, and conditions of the offer. This is no different than any real estate transaction; the seller makes the final decision on all offers.
What happens if I submit an offer and then my buyer changes their mind?
Kazork’s system is based on honesty and integrity from all parties involved. Kazork understands that sometimes people change their minds. If this happens prior to the offer being accepted by the seller, the agent must inform Kazork within 24 hours of receiving notification from their buyer. Agents must also realize they are not allowed to enter an offer unless the buyer has given them express authority to do so. This is no different from submitting a paper purchase agreement. If your client has not given you permission to submit an offer on a Kazork property, do not do so. Kazork reserves the right to permanently deny access to any agent found to be abusing this process.
My buyer wants an answer on their offer immediately. What do I do?
Kazork’s transparent submission process allows you and your buyer to track the status of your offers at any time. You can see where you stand in regard to other offers by viewing the Offer History for the property you’re interested in. If someone else submits an offer higher than yours, you will receive an instant alert via e-mail. If your offer is the highest at the end of the offer submission process and the reserve price of the property has been met, it will be sent to the seller immediately for review. If your offer is not the highest, it is no different than if you submitted a paper purchase agreement that was not accepted.
I don’t have any buyers yet but I want to search for Kazork properties in my area. Can I still use your site?
Absolutely! Register as an agent anyway. Once you have registered, you will be able to search the properties currently available on Kazork. If you find a buyer for a Kazork property, you will be able to submit an offer as soon as your registration information has been verified and your account has been authorized. You will receive an e-mail with notification that you have been authorized. This usually takes about a day during regular business hours, so be sure to give yourself enough time.
