The Seller's
Choice Program.
The perfect solution for homeowners who want to sell and buy without the risk.
Are you a current homeowner looking to sell, downsize, or upgrade but worried about finding the right replacement home? Don't worry, we've got you covered.
Sell with confidence.
Buy with peace of mind.
The Seller's Choice Program is designed to keep you in control through the entire process and solve this exact dilemma.
You list your home for sale with a contingency: the sale depends on successfully finding a replacement property. In a typical sale, you would not be able to back out once an agreement is in place unless the buyer fails to perform. With this contingency, you, as the homeowner, are protected and can move forward with peace of mind.
On the other side, the purchase of your replacement property is contingent on successfully selling your current home. You are protected on both sides of the transaction.
Sale and purchase,
side by side.
Two transactions running together so neither rushes the other. Here is what happens on each side, step by step.
Your Sale
Your Purchase
List with a contingency
Your home goes on the market with the sale contingent on finding a suitable replacement. You get the time you need to find the right next home without the fear of being stuck.
Begin the search
You start looking for your replacement home at the same time, with time on your side rather than under pressure.
Right-fit buyer
The buyer for your current home should ideally be someone renting month-to-month or living with family. No conflicts or delays on their side while you search.
Find your replacement
It can take weeks or months to identify the right home and enter escrow. Your buyer's flexibility gives you that runway.
Hit every deadline
Once you are in escrow on the replacement, your buyer must meet every timeline deadline, including inspections and appraisal, for a smooth and timely closing.
Enter escrow
Your replacement property enters escrow as the sale of your current home moves forward in parallel.
Close your sale
Sale closes and the escrow team wires the proceeds straight into the escrow for your new home.
Close your purchase
Both transactions close within 24 hours of each other. The escrow teams from both sides coordinate so the proceeds from your sale fund the purchase.
5 to 7 day rent-back
We typically negotiate free rent-back so you can stay in your sold home while you finalize the move into the new one.
Move in
Settle into your new home on a calm timeline, without the stress of a same-day move.
You're protected from
start to finish.
If, at any point in the process, a side of the transaction falls through (for example, if the buyer for your current property backs out), you are not obligated to complete the purchase of your replacement home. That means you are never at risk of being without a place to live, and never forced into completing a sale if something goes wrong with the purchase.
We have successfully closed many of these transactions and we are here to answer any questions you may have along the way.
