A Confidence+ Listing™ is a proactive home-selling approach designed to improve transparency, reduce surprises, and help support a smoother real estate transaction.

Instead of waiting for issues to arise during a buyer’s inspection, a Confidence+ Listing™ takes key preparation steps before the home goes on the market. This allows sellers to better understand their home’s condition, address select items if they choose, and disclose information upfront and helping buyers move forward with greater confidence.

What Is a Confidence+ Listing™?

A Confidence+ Listing™ is a pre-listing, inspection-informed marketing strategy that may include:

• A pre-listing inspection with limited scope

• Seller-elected repairs completed at the seller’s discretion

• Upfront disclosure of known findings

• A home warranty offered to the buyer

This approach is designed to reduce uncertainty, improve communication, and help minimize late-stage renegotiations during the home-selling process.

Why a Confidence+ Listing™ Stands Out

Homes marketed as Confidence+ Listings™ are positioned as prepared, transparent, and professionally managed. This can lead to:

• Stronger buyer confidence

• Fewer unexpected inspection issues

• Clearer expectations before contract

• Smoother negotiations

• A more controlled and informed sale process

Important Disclosure

A Confidence+ Listing™ is not a guarantee of condition and does not replace a buyer’s independent inspection. Inspections performed prior to listing are limited in scope and may not identify all defects or issues. Buyers are encouraged to perform their own inspections.

Confidence Built In — Not Promised

The Confidence+ Listing™ program is designed to help sellers take a thoughtful, informed approach to selling their home while providing buyers with additional insight and peace of mind.
