The Top Dollar Agent Performance Guarantee is included as an addendum to the listing agreement and holds me financially accountable to the results we agree on. If your home sells for even $1 below the established Top Dollar benchmark, my commission is reduced at closing. Depending on the Top Dollar price we agree to, for each percentage the gross sales price of the home (excluding concessions), you will receive a credit at closing against my commission.

Once the Top Dollar price is defined, you get a fixed amount for every full percentage point that the gross sales price of the home (excluding concessions) sells below the Top Dollar price, up to a maximum amount according to the table below:

Top Dollar Price

Under $650,000 | $100 per % point | cap of $2,500

$625K - $1.249M | $200 per % point | cap of $5,000

$1.25M - $1.999M | $500 per % point | cap of $10,000

$2.0M - $2.499M | $500 per % point | cap of $15,000

$2.5M - $2.999M | $800 per % point | cap of $20,000

$3,000,000 plus | $1,000 per % point | cap of $25,000

If your home sells for less than 1% below the Top Dollar price, even $1 less, you'd get the same amount back as if it sold for 1% less than the Top Dollar price.

Both of us. I bring a market analysis to the meeting, we discuss the features of your home in present condition and we agree on Top Dollar. If we can't agree you can list with me without that guarantee, come up with a plan on how to get the price you want, or part as friends. You get to keep the market analysis free of charge.

Not necessarily. The list price is a marketing tool — it may be higher or lower than the Top Dollar benchmark, depending on our pricing strategy. For example, we may list slightly lower to generate competition or slightly higher to target a niche buyer. The guarantee is tied to the net result, not the list price.

The only thing you need to do is order a pre-sale home and pest inspection within 10 days of signing, or provide an inspection report done in the last 3 months. You can choose the inspectors. This is just to make sure that there are no surprises about property condition that could impact the marketability of the home. Depending on what package you select, the fees for these inspections may be included in my fee.

No problem. This program is completely risk-free. You can cancel the guarantee or the listing agreement at any time, for any reason, with no fees or penalties.

The guarantees are contingent on the home actually selling with me as the listing agent. If the home does not sell, or if I am removed as the listing agent, the guarantees are void.

Absolutely not! This program is designed to be a turnkey solution that delivers results. If your needs differ, or if you'd prefer not to participate, I can still list your home without the guarantee. If you decide to part as friends, you get to keep the market analysis as my gift to you.
