Ann -- Thanks for your note. You raise a good point. Escalator terms can be set up in a number of ways. A sunset clause is an excellent idea, and there are others that might work as well. For instance: *Acceptance of the escalator clause means the offer has been ratified. *The escalator clause is the last addendum to the agreement -- no additional terms can be added by the seller. *The brokers in the transaction shall be held harmless regarding the final sale price and its negotiation. *If there are several offers with escalation clauses, only ___ escalations are authorized. Etc. I'm not a lawyer, and suggest that proper advice and language should be obtained from an attorney. All the best. Peter G. Miller OurBroker(r)
