# Handle a Fall-through

## If your chain breaks or the deal falls through, you will need to follow these steps before you can re-market the property and/or add another buyer/chain. ​

### Breaking the Chain:

1. Navigate to ‘Offers’ then ‘Sales Progress’ from the instruction in Reapit.​

2. Select the ‘Link’ icon between the two properties where the break has occurred. ​

3. A pop-up will appear prompting you to confirm the break. Select ‘Break Link’.

### Switching Buyers:

Marking your offer as 'Withdrawn' in Reapit will not automatically update VMC. Before you can proceed with a new buyer you must break the previous chain in VMC and click 'Mark as For Sale’, otherwise VMC doesn't know there is a new buyer and will continue to apply updates and write notes back to the original offer.

### **Selecting a New Offer:**

Having completed the required steps to fall through the previous sale, you can now make the switch to your new buyer – remember to build their chain.

1. Make sure that your new buyers offer has been marked as 'Accepted' in Reapit.
2. Select the new buyer in your Reapit offer screen and click 'Chain', then – ‘ViewMyChain’.

3. Check that the Status of the offer in VMC is displayed as 'Sold STC', if it isn't, simply click the 'Status' drop down menu and update accordingly.
