Depending on the law in your state, and if this is not a short sale, multiple offers must be disclosed.
In AZ and CA if you have a second offer then you have to disclose in writing that you are working with multiple offers.
You say that your contract was ratified. I assume you mean that your offer was accepted and you received a signed copy of the acceptance. If that is the case, then the second offer that came in would be a back up offer and cannot be accepted by the seller unless you cancel your contract.
You're on the right track. You agent's broker is involved and will get it straightened out.
