Final Offer’s patented process brings transparency to the heart of the home sale, the offer negotiation, by capturing what sellers value beyond just price, maximizing their outcome while giving buyers real-time visibility into the market.

BOSTON, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Final Offer, the consumer-facing offer negotiation marketplace, today announced that it has been granted U.S. Patent No. 12,718,284 for a process that makes the residential real estate market simpler, more efficient, and more transparent. The patented process captures what sellers actually value, assigns dollar values to the tradeoffs between competing offers, and matches that information to what buyers are prepared to offer, so buyers and sellers can find each other and reach agreement faster.

“Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest life decisions people make, and it happens in one of the least efficient markets there is. Our patented process gives buyers and sellers the information they need to find each other, and the confidence to act on it,” said Giorgi Chigogidze, CEO of Purlin Enterprises.

The biggest purchase of your life, made in the dark

For most people, a home is the largest transaction they will ever make. Yet it is one of the few purchases still made with almost no visibility. In most other marketplaces, buyers and sellers can see prices, competing bids, and exactly what it takes to reach a deal. In real estate, seller signals to potential buyers are limited to only listing price while winning offers can compete on several additional term dimensions. Buyers don’t know what they are competing against, or whether they could have won with a better total offer value. And neither side knows the price and terms that would actually get the deal done without rounds of back-and-forth.

The process connecting buyers and sellers compounds the problem. It is spread across disconnected systems, emails and phone calls, where information is filtered and delayed at every step. The result is a market where good matches and competition are missed, negotiations drag on, and both sides are left wondering whether they got the best outcome.

Capturing what sellers actually value

Price is only one of the things a seller cares about. One buyer may offer more money but need a long closing and a financing contingency. Another may offer less but pay cash, waive inspection and close in two weeks. In a traditional process, sellers weigh those tradeoffs on instinct only after offers are received, and buyers rarely know which terms would have made the difference.

Final Offer’s patented process captures a seller’s full set of preferences, including cash or cash-like offers, inspection and appraisal waivers, financing, closing timing and other terms, and the seller assigns each a dollar value. Every offer is then measured against those preferences as a single Total Offer Value, so a seller can see which offer is truly strongest, and a buyer can see exactly what it takes to compete.

The result shows up in the sale price: 56% of Final Offer transactions have sold above list price.

“We built Final Offer to bring transparency to the moment that matters most in a home sale, the offer negotiation. By putting a dollar value on what sellers care about beyond price, every offer can be compared on equal footing, and buyers know exactly what it takes to win,” said Judd Hoffman, founder of Final Offer.

From match to deal, faster

Because the seller’s price and preferences are stated up front, a deal doesn’t have to wait on rounds of counteroffers. When a buyer meets the seller’s price and preferences, Final Offer can execute the path to an accepted deal, subject to other bids and verification. That compresses a negotiation cycle that often takes days into a far shorter, clearer process, void of the emotional elements that often creep into the process . On Final Offer, listings go under contract with the best net result 12 days faster than they would traditionally.

Better for agents, on Final Offer and in Purlin B2B products

Today, agents spend significant time manually gathering offers, moving information between systems, and managing single-threaded rounds of back-and-forth with their clients. Running the negotiation through Final Offer brings offers, terms, and seller preferences together in one place, making the process easier to manage and typically shortening the time a property spends on the market. Agents spend less time coordinating paperwork and making phone calls, and more time advising their clients and getting deals to the closing table.

Agents see the difference in their own results. Among agents who have sold homes both through Final Offer and the traditional way, their Final Offer sales closed at 105.6% of list price, compared with 99.5%.

The same patented technology also underpins Purlin’s B2B products.

A marketplace where buyers can actually engage

Final Offer gives buyers visibility beyond a single listing. Buyers can follow the homes and areas they care about, receive real-time alerts when offers are made, and see how competitive each market is before they act. Every buyer who participates adds to a clearer picture of demand, which in turn helps sellers set their price and terms with confidence. The more buyers and sellers participate, the more efficiently the market works for everyone in it.

That visibility also answers the questions buyers and sellers ask most often: Was my offer presented? Is there another offer? Did I leave money on the table? On Final Offer, offers are visible in real time, the terms that matter to the seller are stated openly, and every participant can see where the market stands. There is no black box.

Competition doesn’t slow the deal down either. The median time to contract falls from 10 days to about 5 as offers increase.

Individual listings show the same pattern:

• A home in Bethesda, Maryland, listed at $650,000 sold for $850,000 after drawing 37 offers, and went under contract in a week.
• A home in Ridgefield, Connecticut, listed at $985,000 sold for $1,325,000 after drawing 17 offers, and went under contract in five days.

“Final Offer benefits every side of the transaction. Sellers get control, buyers get verified, real-time information when it matters most, and agents get a way to stand out and deliver an elevated buying and selling experience consumers crave. Having a platform that verifies what they’re hearing from me is a game changer,” said Andrew Riguzzi, EVP at Compass.
