The HBD On-Time Guarantee
Our cash offer closes on time, or you keep $5,000.
Most "guarantees" in this industry live in fine print. Ours lives in an escrow account at a Wisconsin title company. This page explains exactly how it works, including the parts that protect us, because you deserve to see those too.
How it works, start to finish
- You accept our written cash offer. The number on that paper is the number, and the only thing that can change it is something about the house we couldn't have known.
- A short verification period. Usually about a week, while we confirm the property's condition matches what we discussed and that the title is clear. If something turns out materially different from what was described, we talk it through with you before anything else happens.
- Your deal goes firm, and our money goes into escrow. We place $5,000 of earnest money with a Wisconsin title company. We tell you the exact day this happens.
- We close on the date in your contract, or you keep the $5,000. No claims process, no arguing about whose fault it was. The money is already sitting at the title company, so if we miss your date, it's released to you.
The plain-English terms
Covered
- Every firm cash offer, once the verification period ends and our deposit is in escrow
- We miss the closing date in your contract, for any reason on our side
- We ask to cancel after your deal goes firm, and the deposit is yours
- We ask to move the closing date for a reason on our side. You choose: accept the new date, or cancel and keep the $5,000
Not covered, and why
- The verification period itself. Those first days exist so we can confirm the property's condition and title match what's been described. If something turns out materially different, that's when we can step back or rework the number with you, and we'll always have that conversation with you directly, not through fine print.
- Our other selling options. Besides the cash offer, we sometimes offer programs that market your home to retail buyers for a higher price. Those involve showings and a buyer's timeline we can't put a date guarantee on, so the guarantee stays with the cash offer. We'll walk you through the trade-offs of each option honestly.
- Delays on the seller's side. If the title can't clear because of something attached to the property, or you ask to push the date, the clock pauses and we'll work it out with you rather than walk away.
- Date changes you agree to in writing. If a new date works better for you, the guarantee simply moves to the new date.
One more thing: these terms aren't just a web page. They're written into the purchase agreement you sign, so the guarantee is part of your contract, enforceable by you and not just promised by us.
