An Effortless "On-Market" Experience
The Real Estate Exchange offers a modernized "on-market" experience with nearly all of your home showing activity occurring online. Our photographers capture professional photos and high-quality 3D scans of the property. The scans transform into a comprehensive digital model of your home so buyers can interactively walk through it online as if they were actually there.
Buyers Find Homes Online
Listing exposure was a problem 20 years ago, but not today. Buyers frequently browse popular real estate websites to find their next home. The Real Estate Exchange guides buyers through three phases of interest, leading the right happy buyer to you at an in-person showing.
1. Your Home is Grabbing Attention
Posting visits show that buyers are seeing your home and could be coming back to look again. Professional photographs are taken to showcase your home and create the best first impression. Knowing there will be a Home Transparency Report® available, viewers know you're an informed seller with a home that is priced right.
2. You have an Interested Buyer
Online showings identify interested buyers. Our Online Showing and schematic floor plans allow buyers to spend more time walking through your home to ensure the flow and layout is what they are looking for...all with absolutely no time and effort on your part. Showing your home has never been easier!
3. You have a Serious Buyer
In-person showings are scheduled directly between you and your buyers at a time that is convenient for both parties. This "second showing" gives the buyer an opportunity to verify what they already viewed online, includes a review of the Home Transparency Report®, and often leads directly to an offer.
Online Showings
Schematic Floor Plans
Online Showings and Schematic Floor Plans help buyers better understand your home without the traditional busywork of hosting an open house or in-person showing. With more technology built into your online posting, less effort is required for the time-consuming activities associated with cleaning and preparing your home for in-person showings.
A Streamlined Offer and Closing
The Real Estate Exchange creates a seamless pathway for buyers and sellers to reach a "handshake" agreement before turning it over to a licensed Contract Manager to prepare the purchase contract. After the contract is signed, the official transfer of title is managed by an on-site state-licensed closing service or partnered title company.
Online "Make an Offer" System
Buyers use the green "Make an Offer" button on your online posting to submit a non-binding offer. You will receive an email notification and have an opportunity to accept, decline, or counter the offer in a relaxed, no-pressure format. This convenient form of communication can continue until a "handshake" agreement has been reached.
On-Site Contract Managers
Contract Managers are partnered licensed real estate agents who work with you and your buyers to prepare an official purchase contract based on the agreed upon terms in your "handshake" agreement. Both parties learn how the language in the contract protects them and how neither party will be subject to terms that unfairly favor one party over the other.
Closing Services
The closing process includes the official transfer of title from the seller to the buyer. The closing includes additional fees regardless of how your home is sold. Our on-site licensed closing services or partnered title company participate in hundreds of real estate closings every year, ensuring every detail is done right.
The Real Estate Exchange Difference
The Real Estate Exchange is a simple, modern system that connects buyers and sellers without the inflated agent commission structure. It offers a more empowering online platform backed by a higher level of local support, a superior home-selling strategy for sellers, a better solution for buyers, and a streamlined offer and closing.
