No, you’re never on your own with Snapdoor. We’re a full-service brokerage and we will be with you from start to finish. We provide a pricing strategy designed to get you the highest offer. We will provide recommendation on what you need to do to prepare your home for sale. We provide full marketing services, including professional photography and placement on MLS and all the popular real estate websites. We provide full legal support, guiding you through all required paperwork. Finally, we manage the process from contract to closing, so that your sale goes smoothly.

While you’re in control of the entire sales process, your responsibilities are few. Your responsibilities include de-cluttering and cleaning your house and then to coordinate recommended pre-listing repairs and upgrades. Once we provide a punch-list of such home improvements, it’s up to you to get the work completed by your contractors or ones we recommend. As to expenses, you are responsible for the costs of such home improvements and the cost of professional staging. Your remaining responsibilities are making decisions, mostly together with us. For example, when there are multiple offers, you decide which one to accept. We make recommendations. You make decisions.

Snapdoor recommends maximum exposure for all of our listings. Your listing will be entered into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and will show up on the popular real estate portals like Zillow, Redfin, Homes.com, and Realtor.com, among others. It will also show up on thousands of brokerage websites. Snapdoor does not believe in private exclusive listings or off-market sales. We believe that they do not get the exposure your home deserves. Our goal is to get you the highest and best offer. To do this, we promote your home aggressively through all marketing channels.

Snapdoor scores and ranks offers submitted by buyers on our online offer platform. This does sound like an auction. However, unlike an auction you do not have to accept the highest offer. Once the offer deadline passes (and even before), you will have the opportunity to review all offers. With our guidance, you decide which offer you want to accept. We then help you with the sales contract and remaining steps.

You never leave money on the table with Snapdoor. This is because our incentives are fully aligned with yours. Our objective is to make you the most money. We never pressure you to accept the first offer that is submitted. Our online offer platform with its publicly announced deadline ensures that all interested and qualified buyers can submit on offer. Together with our aggressive and public marketing, we make sure that all serious buyers have a chance to submit their offer. By making them compete against each other, you can rest assured that you have received the best possible offer. We never do off-market or private deals because we don’t believe that they are in the best interest of sellers. This also ensures that you don’t leave any money on the table.

While no one can guarantee that an offer won’t fall through, we do our best to minimize this. First, we qualify all buyers to make sure that they have the funds to submit offers. They can never submit offers for a higher price than what they are approved for. If they are an all-cash buyer, we verify the existence of such funds. Second, we rank offers in our platform by the financial strength and cleanliness of offers. By weighing offers with higher down payments and earnest money deposits higher than those with lower ones, we significantly reduce the chance that an offer will fall through for financing reasons.

The same is true of inspection contingencies. First, we encourage all buyers to conduct pre-offer inspections so that they are comfortable with the home they’re buying and hopefully waive inspection contingencies. Second, we score offers with no inspection contingencies higher than those with them. If the accepted offer does include an inspection contingency, we can hopefully help negotiate past the contingency so that the deal doesn’t fall through.

Yes. While we are not attorneys, we will educate you on the sales contract and the various disclosures that are required of sellers in your jurisdiction. With all contracts, there are important terms and conditions and there are minor ones. We will help you to identify the important ones that will affect your liability and the final outcome in the transaction. All contracts and disclosures will be made available to you online.

Absolutely. Managing the sale from contract to closing is one of our main responsibilities. We will track progress that you can see online. At any given point in time, you will know exactly where the process is. We will coordinate all activities with the buyer, their agent, and the title company during this phase. Close with confidence.
