A guarantee with a strategy behind it
Certainty does not come from a slogan. It comes from a disciplined plan.
The original 73-Day Guarantee was created to answer the question every seller has: “What happens if my home does not sell?” Today, that promise is supported by a sharper launch, professional presentation, targeted digital exposure, broker and buyer outreach, and decisions guided by real market response.
You receive a clear roadmap before going live, then concise updates throughout the listing—so you always know what is working, what needs attention, and what comes next.
How the 73-day system works
Four stages. One accountable selling plan.
Every phase has a purpose, a measurable signal, and a decision point.
- Before day 1
Position
Review your goals, property condition, recent competition, likely buyer profile, pricing range, and the written guarantee terms.
- Days 1–7
Launch
Prepare the property story, professional visual package, MLS presentation, web distribution, direct outreach, and showing strategy.
- Days 8–45
Optimize
Measure views, inquiries, showings, buyer feedback, competing inventory, and offers. Then adjust the plan using real response, not guesswork.
- Days 46–73
Intensify & Resolve
Expand outreach, sharpen the offer strategy, and keep you prepared for negotiation. If the home remains unsold, the written program remedy applies when all terms have been met.
What is included
Modern exposure. Local judgment. A better seller experience.
Professional presentation
Compelling photography and digital merchandising built to help qualified buyers understand the home before they schedule a visit.
Connected distribution
MLS exposure, brokerage and agent outreach, prominent real estate websites, social content, and targeted paid-media opportunities.
Weekly seller intelligence
Update on buyer activity, showing feedback, competing listings, offers, and recommended next actions.
Offer strategy
Thoughtful review of price, terms, financing, timing, contingencies, risk, and the practical tradeoffs behind each offer.
Contract-to-close guidance
Coordinated communication from accepted offer through inspections, appraisal, title, milestones, and closing.
Is the guarantee a fit?
The best first step is a candid qualification review.
The program is designed for motivated sellers who want a clear timeline and are prepared to collaborate on pricing, presentation, access, and response to the market.

Experience without the pressure
A calm, direct conversation about your home and your options.
Christopher Carbone has worked in real estate since 1999 and leads HomeSmart Homes and Estates across New York and Connecticut. The purpose of the 73-Day Home Sale Guarantee is not to rush a seller into a decision. It is to make the brokerage accountable to a defined plan—and to give you clear information at each step.
“You should understand the strategy, the tradeoffs, and the promise before your home ever reaches the market.”
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you make a decision.
Every qualifying seller receives the full written terms for review before enrolling in the program.
What does the 73-Day Home Sale Guarantee mean?
For a home that qualifies, HomeSmart Homes and Estates and the seller agree in writing to a 73-day marketing plan, the seller's responsibilities, and the exact listing-fee remedy that applies if the home has not sold within the agreed period. The written program agreement—not this website—controls the offer.
Does every home qualify?
No. Eligibility depends on location, condition, marketability, showing access, the agreed launch price, seller cooperation, and other terms reviewed before the listing begins. The qualification review is free and does not obligate you to list.
Do I have to accept any offer?
No. You remain in control of whether to accept, reject, or counter an offer. Declining an offer may affect eligibility under the written guarantee, so those terms are explained before you sign anything.
Is this a cash-offer or home-buying program?
No. This is a performance-based brokerage marketing program designed to sell your home on the open market. It is not an iBuyer offer and HomeSmart Homes and Estates is not promising to purchase the property.
What does “sell it for free” cover?
It refers only to the listing-side brokerage fee remedy stated in the written program agreement. It does not waive buyer-broker compensation or legal, title, tax, inspection, repair, transfer, MLS, or other transaction costs.
Where is the program available?
The program is offered for qualifying residential properties in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Orange, Dutchess, Bronx, and Fairfield Counties. Availability varies by property and local market conditions.
Important program terms
A guarantee should be easy to understand.
The 73-Day Home Sale Guarantee is a brokerage marketing program for qualifying properties. Eligibility, the 73-day start date, initial price, property condition, showing access, seller responsibilities, exclusions, and the exact listing-side fee remedy are established in a separate written agreement signed before the listing is activated. “Sell it for free” refers only to the listing-side brokerage fee remedy stated in that agreement. It does not waive buyer-broker compensation or legal, tax, title, inspection, repair, transfer, MLS, or other transaction costs. No seller is required to accept an offer, although rejection of a qualifying offer or failure to follow agreed program terms may end eligibility. Not every property qualifies. This website is an invitation to request the written terms and is not itself a contract, appraisal, legal opinion, tax advice, or promise that a particular property will sell.
