We verbally agreed to accept an offer on our Kansas house. Before we put anything in writing we received a higher offer which we naturally want to accept. No deposit was received from the first buyer. Can we accept the new offer?

is this verbal binding in CA


we told our broker we would accept a full price offer we received on our house, but have realized we do not want to sell. we did not sign to accept the offer; merely said we would do so. do we have to sign? (we realize we might be obligated to pay broker's commission but that is a spearate issue.) the buyer's gave a check for earnest money--brokers have not yet opened escrow.

To be enforceable, all real estate contracts must be in writing. Therefore, verbals do not count.
