Buyer's Guarantee

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 New Millennium

Since fear seems to be the driving force behind the lack of buyers in our market right now, I'm going to do what I can to change that! And I do know that one agent can't change a market! But I may make a difference for some buyers and, hopefully, for my sellers!

Starting today I am offering a guarantee to any buyer who buys any property with me as their agent, or to any buyer who buys any of my listings (regardless of their agent). I guarantee that if you own the property at least one year, and list with me when you're ready to sell, that you will get at least what you paid for the property or I will waive my commission and sell the house for free. Full details are avilable on my web site.

Let's face it, no one can guarantee what the future will bring! But I believe in the future potential of this market and am willing to demonstrate that with my actions!

This benefits my sellers as it makes their homes more attractive and a less risky buy than the other one down the street. With so much inventory right now, that's a good thing! It benefits my buyers because they'll sleep better at night knowing that if they transferred in a year and the market hasn't improved as much as we all thought, they've still got some protection.

I hope this is a win/win for everyone! Let me know your thoughts!

I'm with you on this one, Julie.  There are great values and no reason why buyers should be fearful.

Julie, that's a great marketing idea with substantial substance too!  There are lots of great deals in my market in New Jersey as well as some  'dead wood' that's definitely overpriced.  I wouldn't recommend my customers approach any of those listings unless we're moving forward with a lowball offer!

Good luck with your plan.  Let us know how it works!

Hi Julie!

I just noticed the post.  How is this working for you?  It seems like a great idea to me.
