How is a rejection of an offer defined?

In the context of real estate transactions, a rejection of an offer is characterized by anything less than complete acceptance of the offer. This means that if the offeree does not agree to all the terms and conditions as proposed by the offeror, the original offer is considered rejected.

When an offer is rejected, it means that the offeree has not agreed to the initial terms and, as such, the original offer is no longer valid. This rejection can occur through various means, such as explicitly stating that the offer is not accepted, or by proposing new terms that differ from those of the original offer. In effect, the communication of a rejection effectively closes that particular offer, which can then lead to the possibility of a new negotiation or a new offer being made by either party.

The other options describe scenarios that do not equate to outright rejection. Accepting the terms or requesting changes both imply a level of agreement or engagement with the offer, rather than a definitive rejection.
