ERA Sellers Security® Plan

"We Will Sell Your House, Or ERA Will Buy It!"®

Guaranteed sale, guaranteed price.

When you accept an offer from ERA Franchise Systems LLC, the 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. ERA Franchise Systems LLC guarantees the purchase price, so you'll know in advance the minimum you can expect from the sale of your house. You'll also have plenty of time to see if any other buyer is willing to pay more.

You get the profit, ERA Franchise Systems LLC covers any loss.

Almost always, you will receive more than the price guaranteed by the agreement. If ERA Franchise Systems LLC ends up purchasing your house and then resells it for more than we have in it (including holding and closing expenses), the net profits are returned to you. But if ERA Franchise Systems LLC sells it for less, you don't take the loss, ERA Franchise Systems LLC does.

Increased Buying Power

The ERA® offer eliminates the uncertainty of contingency offers giving you the flexibility to move when you want. You are in a better negotiating position than other buyers who may still have to sell a home.
