The ERA Sellers Security® Plan: "We Will Sell Your House, Or ERA Will Buy It!"®
Now you can buy a new home before you've sold your old one. That's the promise of the ERA® Sellers Security® Plan, and it's just one of many exclusive benefits designed to give you peace of mind.
Guaranteed sale, guaranteed price.
When you accept an ERA® offer, the ERA® Sellers Security® Plan assures you that ERA Franchise Systems LLC will buy your current house if it doesn't sell within 180 days from the application date. The Sellers Security® Plan assures you a guaranteed sale price on your current home giving you the ability to purchase your new home sooner, with greater negotiating power. The ERA® offer is based in part on an independent appraisal that ERA Real Estate will order for you. This helps assure both you and your ERA® professional that your house has been accurately valued.
You realize the profit, ERA Real Estate covers any loss.
You will usually receive more than the price guaranteed by the agreement, for two reasons. First, the ERA® Sellers Security® Plan allows you to accept any higher offer within 180 days of the date your house is listed. Second, if ERA Real Estate purchases your house and then resells it for more than we have invested in it (including holding expenses), the net profits are returned to you. But if they sell it for less, you don't take the loss; ERA Franchise Systems LLC assumes the expense.
Here's how to make it work for you:
- List your house with a participating ERA® broker, submit a Sellers Security® Plan application and agree to offer the ERA® Home Protection Plan® (please see Question 20).
- Select an appraiser from an approved list. ERA Franchise Systems LLC will then order the appraisal and home inspection for you at your expense.
- If your home qualifies, ERA Franchise Systems LLC will provide an offer to you based on the appraisal giving you the ability and assistance to purchase another home. Contact your local ERA® professional on the policies regarding the amount of the ERA® offer.
- You also agree to purchase a home through a broker designated by ERA Franchise Systems LLC. An exception is made for military service member moving into base housing.
Conditions apply: house must meet specific qualifications and purchase price will be determined solely by ERA Franchise Systems LLC. Additionally a second home must be purchased through a broker designated by ERA Franchise Systems LLC. Call your local participating ERA® Professional to review details.
