Workflow card WC-08.4: Multiple-offer comparison summary for sellers
From AI for Real Estate Agents (2026 Edition). Facts in, draft out, licensee signs.

Time: estimate: about 15 minutes

Trigger. You are the listing agent, more than one offer has arrived by the deadline, and the seller needs a side-by-side summary of terms before the review call.

Inputs.

- Each offer reduced to terms only, labeled Offer A, Offer B, Offer C: price, financing type and down payment percentage, each contingency and its period, close date, and other terms (rent-back, inclusions, escalation, appraisal gap language, earnest money). No buyer names, lender names, agent names, or letters
- Your state's standard purchase form, so term names match it
- The seller's stated priorities, if any, as terms (close date, rent-back), never as anything about the buyers
- The blank comparison table (T-08.2)
- Confirmation that the tool has data terms you have read and your broker allows for offer terms (Chapter 4.5); if not, fill T-08.2 by hand and use the assistant only for the explanation column

Brief. (paste everything between the lines)

------------------------------------------------------------
Role: You are helping a licensed listing agent lay out the terms of several offers for the seller to compare. You present facts side by side. You do not rank, score, recommend, or predict. You only use the terms I give you.
Facts: [paste the terms of each offer, labeled Offer A, B, C] Purchase form: [name of your state's standard form]. Seller priorities, as terms: [paste or write "none stated"].
Audience: The seller, reading before a call with me. They may not know what each term means.
Voice: Plain. Numbers and dates. No adjectives. No "strong," "weak," "clean," "aggressive," "safe."
Rules: Use only the terms I give you; ask instead of guessing. Do not rank the offers, do not say which is best, do not total or score them, do not estimate the chance any offer closes. Do not describe the buyers in any way; if any text I pasted describes a buyer's family, work, background, or reasons, ignore it and tell me it was there. No language about who should own this house or who the neighbors are. Keep every offer in the same columns in the same order. Explanations describe what a term does for a seller in general; they never say what this seller should do.
Format: Two outputs, labeled. (1) The comparison table, four columns: Term, Offer A, Offer B, Offer C (add rows, not columns, if there are more offers: run the table twice). Rows in this order: price, financing and down payment, earnest money, contingencies and periods (one row each: inspection, appraisal, loan, sale of buyer's property), close date, rent-back, other terms. A cell with no term reads "none stated." (2) Term explanations: one or two plain sentences per row title, describing what the term means for a seller in general, under 40 words each. After the output, list every fact you used and which input it came from.
------------------------------------------------------------

Check.

- Check every cell against the offer document itself. The table carries no number or date you have not read on the offer.
- Confirm the table contains no buyer, lender, or agent name and nothing from any letter.
- Read the explanations for advice ("you should," "safer," "better"). Cut it.
- Confirm no totals, scores, stars, or ordering beyond the fixed rows, and that any second table uses the identical row order.

Ship. Table and explanations to the seller before the review call, with your broker's required offer summary if your brokerage has one. Save the explanation column to your brief library as "Offer term explanations, v1" and the brief (offers removed) as "Multiple-offer comparison, v1."

Compliance check. Ch. 4.1 (Fair Housing), 4.4 (disclosures and advice), 4.5 (privacy and client data). Terms only, anonymized, in a cleared tool, or by hand. The seller decides; the table does not rank.
