Guaranteed Home Sale Program

In todays real estate market home sellers feel like they have few options when they sell a home. They are afraid to write a contract on another home when they still have a home to sell first. If they do write a contract it could be at a higher price since they can't give the home seller a guarantee that their house will sell. However, if the buyers know they have there house sold they can negotiate a lower price with the seller and give the seller a closing date.
