Do you see the deposit amount and all the details of the escalation from the triggering offer in that case?
Say I saw that the triggering offer had a measly deposit and I suspected it of being fake. Would I be on the hook to prove it? Technically if I rescind my offer at this point I lose my own deposit, right?
Yes but they can drag their feet in giving it to you, since they can just sign your offer immediately. However, you can just cancel your offer after with a follow up document.
