MADISON, N.J., May 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Realogy Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY), the largest full-service residential real estate services company in the United States, and Home Partners of America, a leading residential real estate investment and management company, today announced the continued expansion of real estate cash offer program RealSure to Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina area home sellers who have a qualified property and work with a participating Realogy brand-affiliated real estate agent. Part of a broader 2021 expansion strategy, Charleston and Columbia are two of 21 total U.S. markets offering RealSure today.

RealSure is designed to address the two questions consumers most often have when selling their home in today's competitive market: What is the best price I can sell for? Should I wait to look for my next home until my current home sells to strengthen my position to buy? Combined with the expert guidance of a Realogy affiliated real estate agent from one of its well-known brands, RealSure offers solutions with its two defining features:

RealSure Sell, bringing RealSure home sellers the certainty of a 45-day cash offer while they work with a trusted real estate agent to market their home for an even better offer to maximize the value of their current home; and

RealSure Buy, where the choice is up to the RealSure home sellers. Whether they accept the RealSure Cash Offer or a third-party offer, RealSure Buy's features  position RealSure sellers to enhance their ability to purchase and move into a new home they love with ease including:

• Assured Close: Extend RealSure's 45-day cash offer up to an additional 45 days, giving RealSure sellers the flexibility they need to close on a third party offer while having peace of mind if that deal falls through, they still have RealSure's cash offer available to keep them on track to sell their home and purchase a new one; and  
• Flex Stay: RealSure sellers can stay in their current home for up to 30 days after closing their sale to RealSure while they prepare to move into their next home.

"In tight real estate markets like Charleston and Columbia where homes are changing hands at a much higher and faster rate, RealSure will bring home sellers instant tools to sell their current home and be more competitive buyers to secure that next home they love," said Kristin Aerts, vice president of consumer programs for Realogy. "RealSure not only provides home sellers the advantage of a cash offer to let them start looking for their next dream home with confidence, but the program's added benefits allow sellers to make competitive offers on their dream home as if the equity in their existing home is in their hand."

"Now more than ever, people are looking for flexibility and control when going through the home selling and buying process, and we are excited to introduce RealSure to the Charleston and Columbia regions as a solution that does just that," said Tracey Jeter, vice president of sales and business development for Home Partners of America.
