No. I do offer an option to fire me if they are not satisfied with me or cancel the listing any time prior to receiving an offer.

We guarantee that we will work tirelessly to get your home sold.
We guarantee that we will put your interests above ours, ALWAYS.
We guarantee that you can ask us anything and if it's within our power, we'll get you the answer.
We guarantee that the honesty, integrity and dedication of everyone on our team will be above reproach.
Etc, etc.
We do NOT guarantee that we'll sell your house in x days or we'll buy it. We do not guarantee things that aren't guarantee-able.

Those guarantees of buying the house are usually at 80% of the appraised value. And guess who picks the appraiser?

Guarantees have a gimmick ring to them. There is always a catch. Reminds me of all the fine print and fast speak at the end of a car advertisement. The answer by the way, no.

No, I do not offer a guarantee. The guarantee's I've seen generally offer to buy at "wholesale price". Which sounds like a deep discount to me.

We do a guarantee - that we will buy their home if we can't sell it within a 120 days. . . we also have a clause in our listing contractors that they can terminate the contract at any time.

No and I never have. I know of one local broker who is quite successful and he does offer it. Not sure he has used it...but at 80% of Appraised Value (paid for by Seller)...only a fool or someone desperate would sell for that amount. Most are neither!!

Very early on in my career, I offered to buy the house if it did not sell within a certain time period. This was over 15 years ago..guess what? I still own the house today and it was a great investment...I would not recommend it though and would not do it again...I just was lucky.

and what happens at the end of the guarantee? do you buy the house??? we will give them a cancellation of the contract if they're not happy.... no reason to go beyond that...

Sally,
I have seen that one, if it doesn't sell we will buy (the agent) it at an agreed price. I don't like it, and I feel it is a weird way to do business. I would not do it. A

No, I don't offer a guarantee like that. I will offer a guarantee that they will be pleased with my efforts. If not, they are free to withdraw their listing with no obligations.

When listing agents do this I think they are A) pricing it too high to begin with, B) then working it against their clients C) they will pay 70% of the list price. In a slow market that works.

No. It's impossible to guarantee that. I did run an ad once offering a guarantee to reduce listing commission 1% if I didn't sell your house in 90 days. Got one listing, but that was it.

The only guarantee I give is that I will work dilligently to market and sell their home. But trying to guarantee that they will get X amount of dollars or that the home will sell in X amount of day..................No I do not do that

Unless you are willing to buy it yourself at a certain price, that kind of claim can get you sued. And if you are a sales person, I wonder what your broker would say about that, because it would put him/her at risk as well.

Absolutely not. I don't make promises I may not be able to keep. If I were prepared to purchase the house if no one else did that would be a different story but I am not in the market for any more houses.

No. I find that is very dangerous. However I do see how if you were an investor you could make that call as you could have the financing to back up the claim.

I typically only see guarantee's to purchase the home if it does not sale in X days...fine print..."I have investor clients that will pay 60-70% of fair market value for your home". A bit gimicky if you ask me!

Sally K. & David L. Hanson - Not that I will sell your home in 'X' days. However, I offer some of the clients 'EASY EXIT' guarantee - if they have 'valid' reason that I did not do my due diligence, they can 'fire' me! (after I recover my marketing cost, of course!)
-

We do not - I have investigated them before and there is definitely fine print. First of all, the houses are priced below market value out of the gate.

Craig Proctor has a "gauranteed buy program" but he rarely needs it as he prices his homes to sell. I think in the higher price points it would get a bit iffy! Here in lovely Sonoma County,California--heart of the wine country--our median home price is just a tad over $500K. List any home under that and it's flying out the door. But I do agree--the gauranteed programs DO discount for a purchase.

I used to work with an agent that made such "guarantees". I thought it was the most dangerous practice possible. The first thing I tell Buyers AND Sellers is that I don't have a crystal ball, I'm not a financial analyst, and I won't make promises that I can't keep.
