🤝 The Offers & Connections section is where buyers and sellers move from browsing to dealmaking.
🏷️ On any unit’s listing page, buyers can submit wholesale offers and sellers can respond by initiating a connection.
⚡ The offer panel dynamically updates as both sides progress toward a deal — from submitting an offer to connecting, and finally, closing.
