The Byrne Buyer Guarantee

Don't love your home? We'll sell it for free.

You commit to the biggest purchase of your life before you've spent a single night in the house. The Byrne Buyer Guarantee removes the risk from that decision... buy with us, and if the home isn't right, we'll list and sell it with no listing fee for up to 18 months. On a typical Austin home, that's thousands of dollars you keep, and a decision you don't have to be afraid of.

For owner-occupied homes purchased with a Byrne Real Estate Group agent.

How it works

Three steps, and no listing fee on the way out.

This isn't a discount coupon or a lead gimmick. It's a full listing, marketed the same way we market every home we sell.

Step one

Buy with us

Purchase your home with a Byrne Real Estate Group agent. Your coverage starts the day you close.

Step two

Live in it

Anytime in the first 18 months, if the home isn't right for you, call us. No explanation required.

Step three

We list it, free

You get our Premier Pro marketing package at no listing fee. Or upgrade to Ultimate Showcase for 1.9%.

Your two options when you sell

Both include the full team. The difference is how far we push the marketing.

What the guarantee is actually worth

Our standard listing fee is 3% for Premier Pro and 4% for Ultimate Showcase. Inside the Byrne Buyer Guarantee, Premier Pro drops to zero and Ultimate Showcase drops to 1.9%. Here's what that difference looks like at a few Austin price points.

Sale price You save with Premier Pro You save with Ultimate Showcase
$500,000$15,000$10,500
$750,000$22,500$15,750
$1,000,000$30,000$21,000
$1,500,000$45,000$31,500

Illustration only, based on our published listing rates. Your actual numbers depend on your sale price and the buyer's agent fee you agree to, which is negotiated separately and is not covered by the guarantee.

Full transparency

Every question, answered before you ask it.

A guarantee is only worth something if you can read all of it before you sign. Here it is, in plain language.

What exactly is the Byrne Buyer Guarantee?

Our Byrne Buyer Guarantee is designed to protect you, whether you're buying your first home, moving up, downsizing, relocating, or buying your perfect vacation home. If you don't love your home, we'll sell it for free for up to 18 months after you purchase it with us. Simple as that.

Free means no listing-side commission to Byrne Real Estate Group, and our Premier Pro marketing package included at our expense.

Who qualifies for the guarantee?

Two conditions, and they're the only two that determine eligibility:

  • The home must be owner-occupied. Investment properties, rentals and land are not eligible.
  • You must be a Byrne Real Estate Group client, both when you buy the home and when you list it for resale.

That's it. There's no minimum price, no neighborhood restriction, and no requirement to use a particular lender.

How long am I covered?

Up to 18 months from the closing date on your purchase. As long as you tell us inside that window, the guarantee applies to your listing.

Do I have to explain why I want to sell?

No. A job changes, a family grows, a commute turns out to be worse than it looked, or the house just doesn't feel like home. You don't owe us a reason.

What does the free listing actually include?

The Premier Pro marketing package: professional photographs, Austin, San Antonio and Houston MLS, sign and lockbox, full digital marketing channels, social media marketing, weekly market reports, open house rotation, and the full team experience.

It's the same package a paying client receives. We don't run a lighter version of the marketing because the listing fee is waived.

What is the Ultimate Showcase upgrade, and do I need it?

Ultimate Showcase adds premium photography, priority placement in our open house rotation, a Showcase upgrade that puts your home at the top of search results with a virtual tour, the FLEX CASH Buyer Program, and placement in our Deal of the Week newsletter to 30,000+ subscribers.

Inside the guarantee it's 1.9% instead of our standard 4%. It's entirely optional... Premier Pro stays free whether you upgrade or not. Showcase listings average roughly 79% more views and tend to go under contract faster, so on homes where exposure drives the price, the upgrade often pays for itself.

What is not covered?

The guarantee covers our listing-side commission and marketing. It does not cover:

  • The buyer's agent fee, which is negotiated separately between you and the buyer's side.
  • Standard seller closing costs and title fees.
  • Repairs, concessions or credits you negotiate with your buyer.
  • Your mortgage payoff, taxes, HOA transfer fees and similar ordinary costs of selling.
Is there a catch on the list price?

No. You set the list price with your agent based on current market data. We'll show you the comparable sales and give you a straight recommendation, the same as we would on any listing. We are not buying your home and we are not guaranteeing a sale price... we're guaranteeing that our listing services cost you nothing.

How much can this save me?

On a $750,000 sale, waiving our standard 3% listing fee keeps $22,500 in your pocket. At $500,000 it's $15,000, and at $1,000,000 it's $30,000. If you choose the Ultimate Showcase upgrade, you're paying 1.9% instead of our standard 4%, which saves $15,750 on that same $750,000 sale.

Those are illustrations based on our published rates. Your actual numbers depend on your sale price and the buyer's agent fee you agree to.

Does the guarantee cost me anything up front?

Nothing. There's no enrollment fee, no membership, and no add-on to your purchase. The guarantee is part of working with us as a buyer, and the full terms are confirmed in writing before you sign a buyer representation agreement.

Why would a brokerage offer this?

Because it changes how carefully we work. If we put you in a home you regret, we're the ones who sell it for free... so we have every reason to slow you down on the wrong house and be honest about the right one. It also means that when you're ready to move again, you already know who's listing it.
