That said it makes sense to give the buyer notice and a final opportunity to tender funds or you can end up in the middle of a lawsuit.

Earnest Money is a deposit towards the purchase of real estate or publicly tendered government contract made by a buyer or registered contractor to demonstrate that he/she is serious about wanting to complete the purchase.If the seller accepts the offer, the earnest money is held in escrow by the real estate broker or by a settlement or title company until closing and is then applied to the buyer's portion of the remaining costs.

Any busboy can overhear a conversation, my bar tender knows cash buyers, anyone can go into a courthouse and find cash buyers with very little training and assistance from the office staff.

Plus, we have our own private bar tender at the Lucky Lab Pub in Multnohah Village. 

That's called a unilateral contract, which was tendered (offered) to you. 

At that time the check is tendered to the escrow agent.all cash

In future, you'll be able to take a step back, not have to be as reactive to someone who tenders such an opportunity and be more confident about negotiation.

The downtown part is great, I'm obsessed with Tender Greens over there.

The judge could ask you to tender the total purchase price in order to show your good faith to close on the contract.
