Franchise Systems, Inc., the Sellers
Security® Plan assures you that ERA
Franchise Systems, Inc. will buy your
current house if it doesn't sell within
180 days from the application date. ERA
Franchise Systems, Inc. guarantees the
purchase price offer, so you'll know in
advance the minimum you can expect from
the sale of your house. You'll also have
plenty of time to see if any other buyer
is willing to pay more.

Almost always, you will receive more
than the price guaranteed by the
agreement. If ERA Franchise Systems,
Inc. ends up purchasing your house and
then resells it for more than we have in
it (including holding and closing
expenses), the net profits are returned
to you. But if ERA Franchise Systems
Inc. sells it for less, you don't take
the loss, ERA Franchise Systems, Inc.
does.

Buyer
Protection
When you're buying a
home, buy with no major repair worries
– choose a house covered by the ERA Home
Protection Plan® *. It's your best
protection against costly, unexpected
repair bills after closing.

The ERA
Home Protection Plan is an exclusive
ERA® program to protect you against
expensive repair or replacement costs
when the major working components in
your new home break down: water
heater...furnace...built-in
appliances...electrical wiring...central
air conditioning...exposed duct
work...interior plumbing system and
fixtures. Your protection lasts for a
full year from the date of purchase on a
previously owned home, with the option
to renew.
Homes
protected by the ERA Home Protection
Plan sell 15% faster on average. As an
added bonus, the plan also protects
sellers the same way. While your home is
on the market, the same major components
are covered until the day of sale – or a
maximum of 180 days.
So
relax. Not only will you have peace of
mind regarding unexpected repairs, but
you also increase the chances that your
home will sell faster at a better value.
The ERA Home Protection Plan is another
reason why we say, at ERA, "We're
Selling Houses."®
