MAKE IT
HOMEBUYER READY.
In today’s changing market, sellers need to distinguish their home from the rest.
The Homebuyer Ready program from Coldwell Banker® provides a win-win situation
for both buyers and sellers. This comprehensive program makes homes more appealing
for buyers by providing more information about the property for sale up front.
This way, there are no surprises for either the seller or the buyer.
How does a home become Homebuyer Ready?
For a home to qualify for the program there are a few simple steps to be taken
when putting it on the market.
• A pre-listing home inspection is done. Most repairs and corrections, if any,
should be completed at this time by the seller.
• A Seller’s Disclosure Statement is signed, informing the buyer of the condition
of the property and eliminating surprises during negotiations.
• A Coldwell Banker® Home Protection Plan is purchased. It benefits buyers by
covering major appliances and systems for a period of one year after closing.
Plus, the seller will be covered during the term of the listing.
