Offer Agreed
When a seller has agreed a price with a buyer you will see or hear the property referred to in one of two ways:
- Sale Agreed
- Offer Agreed
They both mean exactly the same thing but are just being said from two different perspectives - the seller has agreed to sell (Sale Agreed) or the buyers offer has been accepted (Offer Agreed).
Some agents will list properties one way, some the other.

How to Really Make an Offer on a Property
"... agents are poorly experienced or badly trained and not even they know how to really put up an offer. But the way you do it and the way you present yourself can make a substantial difference to the final price you pay. Sometimes it may allow you to get a sale agreed at a price the vendor would not previously have accepted, sometimes it may mean the vendor will sell to you and not someone else (even if the other party is offering..."
