What We Do For Sellers


Marketing Your Home and Closing the Transaction...

Over 85% of our clients use The Yes You Can! Package, which provides all the help you need for as long as it takes to sell and close your home.

Since everyone has a unique experience, we assign a counselor to you - a licensed Realtor who is specially trained to coach you. You have the right to infinite consultation with your counselor. Your counselor will take you through the six steps of selling on your own.

First, we show you how to get your family, and your home, ready to sell. We prepare a market analysis to help you price your home. We help you with your state and federal disclosure documents, and zoning, tax and other legal and regulatory matters.

Then, based on your goals, your timetable and budget, and your home, we prepare a personalized marketing plan for you. We provide your signs, flyer copy, newspaper ad copy, Internet listing, open house book and other marketing tools. We can also place your home on the MLS, although 89% of our clients choose not to.

Usually, you'll conduct weekend open houses (last year, the average was only three weekends). We coach you throughout this period, based on your marketing results. And when you follow our program, there's no "selling" involved - your home will simply sell itself.

When you find a buyer, we'll review their loan qualifications. If they appear qualified, we prepare the earnest money agreement and set up the closing. Then we help you through any further negotiations resulting from the inspection or appraisal. Finally, we review all your closing documents and attend the closing with you. Want more details? The checklist on the next page is taken right from our Yes You Can! client agreement.

You can use the program as long as you want, and quit at any time for any reason and get a full refund. See our Money Back Guarantee.

The Yes You Can! Package costs $2,895 - Master Card, Visa, or save $100 paying by cash or check (not applicable with the WIU package). Or PAY AT CLOSING, on approved credit, using our financing through Equivest.

If You Already Have A Buyer...

The Write It Up! Package is for our clients who already have a buyer.* We provide all the help you need, for as long as it takes to close your transaction.

We assign a counselor to you - a licensed Realtor who is specially trained to coach you through the process. You have the right to infinite consultation with your counselor.

We start by reviewing the buyer's loan qualifications. If they appear qualified, we prepare the earnest money agreement and set up the closing. Then we help you through any further negotiations resulting from the inspection or appraisal. Finally, we review your closing documents and attend the closing with you. Want more details? The checklist on the next page is taken right from our Write It Up! client agreement.

You can use the program as long as you want, and quit at any time for any reason and get a full refund. See our Money Back Guarantee.

The Write It Up! Package costs $995- Master Card, Visa, cash or check.

*Note: The Write It Up! Package does not include marketing help. If you don't have a buyer, we strongly recommend using the Yes You Can! Package. Over ten years of national statistics show that sellers who try marketing completely on their own - what we call "naked" FSBOs -stand only a 20% chance of success. And if they do get a buyer, most of the time it's by paying a buyer's agent- their bargaining adversary - a commission of 3% or more. In contrast, our Yes You Can! clients stand an 83% chance of success -- a 63% improvement over naked FSBOs.
