"When will we hear back?"- THE most common buyer question.

 Real estate tip for buyers and agents

In Colorado contracts, the Acceptance Deadline isn’t about when the seller must respond — it’s about how long the buyer is legally committed to that offer.

Yes, it’s customary for sellers to reply by that time, but legally it’s the buyer’s window of commitment. And if the seller counters anything, that deadline becomes irrelevant.

Bottom line: know what that deadline really means before you write or accept an offer.
