FAQ

Q - How much does it cost?

You have free access to the site as long as it takes to get your home sold. There are no monthly fees, or additional charges.

Q - Are their any risks?

The most common concern is that one party will close and the other party wont. This is easy to prevent by making sure each purchase contract is contingent upon the other closing, while also doing a simultaneous closing.

Q - Why hasn’t a service like this been offered earlier?

The fact is for the first time sellers are desperate for a solution to get their home sold. The problem is not that the market is lacking home buyers, it’s that most home buyers need to sell before they can buy, and since they cant sell, they can’t buy. The solution is making the match.
