ANSWER
Detailed answer
Do not rely only on a social post or verbal quote. Ask for the official computation and identify what changes after reservation: deadlines, documents, equity dates and consequences of non-payment. For resale, verify the authority to sell and relevant property documents before remitting funds.
CONCLUSION
Decision rule
The reservation should be the end of your initial verification process—not the beginning.
