SELLER LISTING LAUNCH® Moves You From LISTED to SOLD Our tested technology tools and trusted agents understand market dynamics. We can use our Seller Listing Launch® to generate excitement and motivate buyers who are searching for a property just like yours. Buyers in your price range will immediately see your listing when it goes on the market. Our exclusive, federally trademarked program is all about elevating the psychology of the backlog of buyers* while reaching out to new buyers just entering their home search. It creates a buzz at launch that motivates buyers to take action.
It’s all about the backlog of buyers*
*Backlog of buyers: The pool of buyers who are currently searching for a home but haven’t found the right home. These buyers are waiting for the right home to be listed for sale.
AWARD-WINNING WEB AND MOBILE SITES Benefits Both Buyers and Sellers While buyers get instant notifications when your property hits the market, you can keep track of your competition and get market insights from our powerful tech tools. Our technology follows buyer demand trends so we can position your house to sell.

HOME PRICING STRATEGIES Priced Right Day One Homes that are priced correctly from the start sell faster and for a better price and give sellers the advantage of negotiating from strength during the first 30 days the house is on the market. We use our Buyside Home Valuation System to track buyers in your market and to constantly update our data so we know what’s selling and for how much. We understand the seasonal nature of housing markets and the nuances of individual neighborhoods and use the data at our fingertips to work with you to choose a price that will get you an offer.
