What if your listing agreement was only 5 days?

Not 6 months. Not 90 days. 5 days.

That's exactly how our listing agreement works.

If we don't generate multiple competing offers on your home in just ONE weekend — your listing contract with us automatically expires.

No commissions. No penalties. No awkward conversation.

We put our money where our mouth is because we've done this enough times to know what the system produces.

Average days on market: 5.
Average number of competing offers: 8.6.
Average sale price: $35,933 ABOVE list price.

And yes — this works for homes that need work. That's actually what the system was specifically built for.

If you're thinking about selling and your home isn't in perfect condition, this is worth 10 minutes of your time.

Two ways to sell a home that needs work in Northeast Ohio.

The traditional way:
📅 90 to 142 days on the market
📉 Sold for $39,900 below other homes
❌ 21.6% never sell at all

The 5-Day System:
📅 Average 5 days on the market
📈 Average sale price $35,933 ABOVE list price
✅ Average of 8.6 competing offers per listing

Same Northeast Ohio market. Same homes that need work.

The difference isn't the home. It's the system.

And here's the part most people don't believe until they see it: the 5-Day System doesn't require you to spend a dollar on renovations before you list.

Not a dollar.

If you've been told you need to fix your home up before you can get a good price for it
— I'd like to show you a different way.

Here's the real reason homes that need work are so hard to sell.

It's not the price. It's not the market. It's the buyer pool.

The majority of buyers today want a home that's move-in ready. They want to skip the contractors, skip the material costs (have you priced cabinets or flooring lately?), and skip living in a construction zone for three months while the work gets done.

So when a home that needs work hits the market, those buyers scroll right past it.

That leaves you competing for a much smaller group of buyers — investors and flippers — who are very good at negotiating low.

The result: longer days on market. More price cuts. And a final sale price that's, on average, $39,900 less than a comparable home in better condition.

None of that is your fault. But the way most agents approach it makes every one of those problems worse.

The 5-Day System was designed specifically for this situation.

It creates real competition for your home — even in its current condition — from buyers who will pay more because they can see exactly what everyone else is willing to pay.

That's a very different dynamic than the traditional approach.

If your home needs work, these numbers are going to sting a little.

I just pulled the MLS data for Northeast Ohio. Here's what I found for homes that need work:

❌ 21.6% never sold during their initial listing
❌ The ones that did sell sat on the market 90 to 142 days on average
❌ They sold for $39,900 LESS than other homes

That's not bad luck. That's what happens when you use a traditional approach to sell a home that wasn't built for it.

The traditional selling process was designed for homes in move-in condition. If your home needs work, you're fighting the system from day one.

Most agents will tell you to fix it up or accept a low offer.

There's a third option. And it doesn't require you to spend a single dollar on renovations.

More on that in my next post.

Last Sunday, Kate and I ran the Cleveland Half Marathon.
It was warm. Like, really warm.

Kate looked like she was out for a casual morning jog. I looked like I'd been wrung out and hung up to dry. 😂

But somewhere around mile 9, my brain did what it always does — started thinking about real estate.

Specifically, I started thinking about how ugly the numbers are for homeowners trying to sell a home that needs work.

21.6% of those homes never sell at all.

The ones that do sell sit on the market 90 to 142 days.

And they sell for $39,900 LESS than comparable homes that don't need work.

That's not a bad market. That's a broken approach.

I'll share more about those numbers — and why they don't have to apply to you — in my next post.

For now, I'm just grateful I get to run with my daughter. Even if she makes it look way too easy. 😄

After talking to hundreds of sellers, I've noticed something.

The conversations we have about price, timing, and marketing are not actually what's keeping people up at night.

What keeps sellers up at night is something agents almost never address.

"Am I going to have any power in this process at all?"

That anxiety is completely legitimate.

In a traditional sale — especially once your home has been on the market for a few weeks and buyers sense you're waiting — the honest answer is often no.

The buyer knows you need to sell.
They know every day on the market makes you more negotiable.
They know the inspection gives them one more lever to pull.

That's not a negotiation. That's a buyer who knows they're in control — and a seller who's hoping for the best.

The 5-Day System doesn't just promise a better price.

It eliminates that anxiety at the source.

By engineering the conditions that give you genuine leverage before the first offer ever arrives.

When multiple buyers are competing openly for your home — when they can see each other's offers, when there's a hard deadline, when the fear of losing is more powerful than the desire to save money — you don't hope for the best.

You choose.

The right offer. The right terms. The right closing date.

Without the anxiety.

DM us the word REPORT and I'll send you the full breakdown of exactly how those conditions are created — and what they produced on four recent Lake County homes.

The most common question I get when I explain the 5-Day System is this:

"Doesn't selling fast mean selling cheap? Isn't that a fire sale?"

It's a fair concern.

It's also exactly backwards.

The speed isn't a concession. The speed is the mechanism.

Here's what actually happens when there's a hard offer deadline:

Buyers know the offer window closes on Sunday evening. No extensions. No exceptions.

They stop asking "should I make an offer?" They start asking "how do I make sure my offer wins?"

There is no "I'll think about it."

No waiting to see if something better comes along.

The deadline forces every interested buyer to put their real number forward — not their opening position.

The 5-day window isn't a limitation on what you can get. It's the condition that produces your highest possible price.

Now think about what happens without it.

When a home sits on the market for 60, 90, or 120 days, buyers don't compete. They wait. They watch the price. They look for signs of desperation.

And when they finally make an offer, it comes with a very different mindset — one that says:

"You've been waiting long enough. Here's what I'm willing to pay."

That number is NOT their ceiling. It's their opening position in a negotiation they believe you're already losing.

The traditional approach accidentally signals to buyers that you have no other options.

The 5-Day System signals the opposite.

Great news for Northeast Ohio home buyers!

Our local real estate market has slowed down over the last few months. The chart included with this post is from our local Multiple Listing Service tracking over 300,000 home sales in Northeast Ohio. It details the average list price vs. the average sale price of homes in our area.

In January of 2025, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝘀 $𝟮𝟬,𝟱𝟬𝟬! This trend continued in February of 2025 with 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 $𝟭𝟳,𝟱𝟬𝟬.

Compare these numbers to the prior months and you’ll be able to see the significant shift in our market!

Home sellers in our area are now having to reduce their asking prices, as well as, consider lower offers in order to sell their homes.

Some of this is due to the seasonality of our local market, but it also seems as if many home buyers are now holding off on buying, which has opened the doors (LOL) to better home pricing!
