I’ve heard these ads on the radio. Basically they guarantee that they can sell your house or they’ll buy it from you, or something silly like that.

I suspect – “suspect” being the operative word – that they take your listing and give you the guarantee only if it applies to a price that they dictate, which will be below the market. I could be wrong, but that’s my guess. Nothing else really makes sense.

On that note, if you’ve got a 3,000 square foot house in La Jolla, I GUARANTEE that I can sell it for $300,000 or I’ll buy it from you. Any takers?
