You Have Options
Buying or selling isn't one path or one pitch.
Some people aren't ready yet—and that's okay. Our job is to make your options clear, not to push you into a timeline.
Education
Education before action.
Give truth before transaction. No sales, no scripts—just clarity.
Buying, Demystified
Representation, contracts, leverage—all explained in plain English. Learn what agents actually do, what contracts mean, and how to use leverage without being taken advantage of.
Selling, Without Spin
Pricing, exposure vs promises, negotiation. Understand how pricing actually works, what 'exposure' really means, and how to negotiate from a position of strength.
Money & Fees, In Plain English
Who pays what, when, why. No hidden fees, no surprises. Learn exactly who gets paid, when they get paid, and why. Transparency in every dollar.
Risk & Protection
Disclosures, timelines, contingencies. Understand what you're protected against, what you're not, and how to navigate risk without fear-mongering.
Not All Agents Are the Same.
Reputation ≠ value. We help you compare agents on what matters:
Proof of work
Recency and volume of deals, not just lifetime totals.
Actual services
Marketing deliverables, timelines, and who does the work.
Negotiation & outcomes
List-to-sale ratios, days on market, repair credits won/saved.
Accountability
Cancellation terms, progress updates, and what happens if targets aren't met.
Goal: Choose based on evidence and fit, not on slogans.
How to Research an Agent (Fast Checklist)
Ask for these—before you sign anything:
Deals: How many in the last 12 months like mine (price, area, property type)?
Plan: What exactly will you do and when? (channels, frequency, milestones)
Access: Who handles showings, inquiries, negotiation? (names, not "team")
Metrics: How will we measure success weekly?
Terms: Fee structure, cancellation/opt-out, and any add-on costs.
Where the Industry Isn't Transparent
We're rebuilding trust by making the invisible visible.
Identical pricing masquerading as competition.
2.5–3% everywhere isn't choice.
"Exposure" instead of marketing.
If there's no plan, it's just talk.
Contracts before trust.
Representation should be earned, not locked in on day one.
Your Paths (At a Glance)
You drive; use our checklists and office hours for guardrails.
You lead, we co-pilot critical steps (pricing, offers, negotiation).
Full-service with transparent deliverables and measurable outcomes.
Questions to Bring to Any Meeting
What fees do I pay, and when? What gets me out of this agreement?
Show me your last three similar cases and outcomes.
What will you do in week 1, week 2, and week 3?
How do we decide when to adjust strategy?
What happens if I'm not satisfied?
Not Ready Yet? That's Still Progress.
Timing, credit, job moves, life changes—there are good reasons to wait. Use this time to learn, set expectations, and build your team deliberately.
Join a Q&A, bring your situation, and leave with next steps—no pressure.
