Jacqueline can claim damages for breach of contract, which would be the difference between the first accepted offer ($243,000) and the highest offer she received ($246,000), totaling $3,000, plus the $30,000 difference between the first accepted offer and the unsolicited offer she later accepted ($253,000), totaling $33,000.
