Contracts

A Washington buyer submits an offer on a listed property. Before the seller responds, the buyer calls the agent and says they want to withdraw the offer. Under Washington law, the buyer may revoke the offer:

AAt any time before the seller's signed acceptance is communicated to the buyer✓ Correct
BOnly before the seller has had time to consider the offer
CNot at all once an offer is submitted to the seller
DOnly if the earnest money has not yet been deposited

Explanation

An offer may be revoked by the offeror at any time before acceptance is communicated to the offeror. Once a binding contract is formed (seller's acceptance communicated to the buyer), neither party can unilaterally withdraw.
