Protocol

Hello everyone,

If you decide not to make an offer on a property is it customary to let the seller know?

Thanks.

Say more about the circumstances.

If you're looking at houses listed on the MLS, no, you don't tell the sellers of the ones you looked at that you're not making an offer. But if you've had a face to face conversation with a seller about a property, yes, I think it would be courteous to tell them you're going to pass.
