Why A Guarantee?

In the spring of 1994 we were looking for just the right house for a client...and we found it. The seller was not interested in accepting an offer subject to the sale of my clients home (although that was irrelevant because it was surely going to sell immediately anyway). Here we were, after looking for almost a year, we were going to lose "the right house". They did not feel comfortable risking the purchase without selling first but also were not comfortable selling without finding the right home first.

So began my guarantee. I simply asked if they knew of a worst case scenario and it was livable would they want to make the purchase. After reviewing the figures and calculating the lowest bottom line that they could depend on we wrote up my first guaranteed sale listing agreement...then proceeded to write a cash offer for a substantial discount on the property they wanted to call home. The discount we negotiated more than covered the range between the probable selling price (fair market value) of their property and the figure that I had guaranteed.

Then we got busy with locating a buyer for their house...and found one quite quickly for the fair value of the property, well in excess of the worst case that been guaranteed. They moved into their new home on schedule and are still quite happily living there.

This scene worked so well that I was compelled to offer this possible solution on a wider scale. To date more than forty families have directly benefited from my optional guaranteed sale. For complete details or personal proposal please contact me anytime at 386-8181.
