The Truth About “Home Sold Guaranteed” Programs | EP400
About this episode
This episode breaks down how guaranteed home sale programs work and the hidden conditions that may affect sellers.
You’ve probably heard the ads: “Your home sold guaranteed, or we’ll buy it.” But what does that actually mean? In this episode of The Real Estate Podcast, Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott break down how guaranteed home sale programs really work, why the guaranteed price may be much lower than a seller expects, and what conditions may be hidden in the fine print. They discuss why these programs often involve scheduled price reductions, below-market buyout prices, extra fees, and restrictions that may require sellers to buy their next home through the same team. If you’re thinking about selling and a guaranteed sale program sounds appealing, this episode will help you understand what you’re really agreeing to before signing anything.
