What about this guy Matt Battiata (the self-proclaimed #1 real estate agent in San Diego), the realtor who’s got a show on 103.7FM on the weekends. He “guarantees” a sale of your house within 30 days (might be 60 days) or his firm will buy your house. Obviously, there’s gotta be a catch…
**************** From his website***********
Guaranteed Sale Program
We will give you a guaranteed written offer on your home up front and in writing. This will give you the assurance that if your home does not sell in time to buy your next one, we will buy it at the up front agreed upon price. We think you’ll agree, shopping for homes is just more fun, when you know your home is already sold*.
*Certain conditions and restrictions apply. [Ed. – Translation: “We won’t be buying your house under any circumstances.”]

I’d be curious to know how they come up with this “up front agreed upon price.” I’m betting it’s well below current list prices.
