SELLERS SECURITY PLAN
Guaranteed sale, guaranteed price.
When you accept an ERA® offer, the Sellers Security Plan assures you that ERA will buy your current house if it doesn't sell within 180 days from the application date. ERA guarantees the purchase price offer, so you'll know in advance the minimum you can expect from the sale of your house. You'll also have plenty of time to see if any other buyer is willing to pay more.
You get the profit, ERA covers any loss.
Almost always, you will receive more than the price guaranteed by the agreement. If ERA ends up purchasing your house and then resells it for more than we have in it (including holding and closing expenses), the net profits are returned to you. But if ERA sells it for less, you don't take the loss, ERA does.
ERA can
even help with your down payment.
The ERA Sellers Security Plan allows qualified buyers to borrow against equity. You may use up to $150,000 of your available equity from the ERA offer to purchase and close on your new home. So if the down payment on your new home is contingent on the proceeds from your old one, we've got you covered.
Sellers Security Plan qualification.
Your house must be a single-family primary residence. Houses must have an average appraised value of at least $50,000 and not more than $450,000. Mobile homes, co-ops, or multi-family homes are not eligible for the plan. Properties that have an abandoned storage tank on site are also not eligible. Other conditions also apply. To see if your property is eligible and to learn more, contact nancy.may@era.com or call ERA Bill May Realty Co. at (434)978-7355 or toll free at 800-296-3721.
What are the benefits to a Seller?
There are three unique core benefits of the SSP.
Non-contingency status: Sellers that need to purchase another home but can't because their current home is not sold find this program of great value. The plan provides a guaranteed sale and closing date resulting in increased buying power.
Increases the number of buyers for their home: when a Seller lists with ERA®, prospective buyers can often times take advantage of the SSP in order to sell their house to purchase that ERA® listing. In essence, we increase the pool of buyers for all our listings, especially a home that will attract a move-up buyer. This benefit is another reason to list with ERA® regardless of Seller's interest in the SSP.
A multitude of options: If in the event a Seller needs a contract quicker than one can be market generated, by listing with ERA®, a contract can be forthcoming to enable their next home purchase. And if in the event our optimism about their home selling is wrong due to economic conditions outside our control, by listing with ERA® they have the option at any time to proceed with our guaranteed sale program.
