What's more, SellerNation
doesn't charge sellers a commis-
sion. Instead, the company adds
a 5 percent buyer premium to an
accepted bid. A common element
of auctions, it's also becoming a
trend among traditional home
sales. The National Association
of Realtors 2013 Profile of Home
Buyers and Sellers revealed that 13
percent of homebuyers compen-
sated the Realtors in whole or in
part.
"Everything we do is designed
to make our listings attractive to
multiple buyers because competi-
tion is what drives price," Jasgur
says. "We're literally built to nego-
tiate with multiple parties to get
the best possible deal for the seller.
We've seen over and over again
that the first offer is rarely the
best."
While their focus improves
results for the typical seller,
SellerNation's market-making
sales and quick timelines, coupled
with the level of transparency its
technology provides, make their
service ideal in cases like divorce,
estate sales and probate situations
where it could be difficult to keep
multiple parties from opposing
sides on the same page.
To familiarize homeowners with
SellerNation's approach, Jasgur and
Carey are hosting "coffee hours"
at local shops around town to help
sellers learn what their home are
worth without tidying up for a
tour.
"We've already fielded inquiries
from real estate brokers in other
states who are anxious to be a part
of what we're doing:' Carey says.
"We expect to have additional
offices open in other markets as
early as next year."
SellerNation is another spoke in
the wheel of the parent company,
Woodward Asset Capital. WAC's

provides cutting-edge systems
for banks and mortgage servicers
that mitigate risk, prevent fraud
and manage the sale of distressed
assets. Their award-winning
technologies, OfferSubmission.
