Offer and acceptance

Two requirements of a contract forming mutual consent. These factors combined with valuable consideration are the major elements of a contract. For example, John puts his home up for sale asking $175,000. Brian makes an offer of $160,000 and John accepts the offer. The both sign a sales contract and Brian gives $16,000, 10% of the value of the contract, as valuable consideration.
