Seller’s Bill of Rights

At DeLeon Realty, we believe sellers deserve better. Better marketing, better support, and better results, without any Realtor® games or hidden agendas. Further, sellers should not be coerced or persuaded to offer their homes only to buyers represented by that listing brokerage (where they would get double commission) – whether in advance of all the other interested buyers or instead of them.

This Seller’s Bill of Rights lays out what you can expect from us, in plain terms. These aren’t nice-to-haves or vague promises. They’re real, concrete commitments we make to every seller with whom we work.

  1. The Right to Fair Representation
    DeLeon Realty will never accept commission from both sides of any transaction. We will also provide and fully compensate a qualified agent to represent any unrepresented buyers on DeLeon listings at no cost to the buyer OR the seller.
  2. The Right to Legal and Tax Guidance
    DeLeon sellers will have access to a licensed California attorney to address any legal issues or tax questions related to the sale of their home, free of charge.
  3. The Right to Industry-Leading Marketing
    DeLeon sellers will receive more marketing and better marketing than any other comparable property on the market (excluding other DeLeon listings).
  4. The Right to Maximum Exposure
    All DeLeon listings will be featured on the MLS, Zillow, Redfin, and other top platforms, unless the seller opts for an unrecommended off-market strategy with full understanding that it will likely yield a lower price due to reduced exposure and competition.
  5. The Right to Print and Digital Visibility
    Your home will appear in at least one newspaper advertisement every week it’s on the market and will include a custom video, 3D tour, and professional photography, all featured on a dedicated micro website specific to your home.
  6. The Right to Guided Preparation
    Every DeLeon seller benefits from access to an experienced interior designer and handyman to oversee the home preparation process, including selecting a stager whose vision aligns with the property and marketing strategy.
  7. The Right to Complimentary Staging
    DeLeon sellers will never pay for staging – ever.
  8. The Right to Covered Inspections
    All property and pest inspections arranged by DeLeon are covered at no cost to the seller.
  9. The Right to Flexibility
    Listing agreements automatically expire 39 days after the home goes live on the MLS, unless the seller chooses to extend. We believe listing agents should have to earn that extension.
  10. The Right to a Team That Works for You
    Michael Repka, and our sellers, benefit from the most robust group of professionals in the real estate industry, all working in unison to achieve the best result possible. From interior designers, handymen, and a licensed contractor, to highly specialized marketing professionals, and attorneys, DeLeon Realty delivers a level of service and results unattainable by any individual agent or small team.
