We do this by listing your home on all the appropriate multiple listing services for your area.

Once your property is ready for showings we will send you a Bluetooth lock box and set up our home showing app with your property.
After set up, buyer agents will call and be vetted by us, which if approved will be sent to you for final approval. If you approve the showing then the agent will schedule via the showing application and enter using a one time lock box code.
No, you do not need to be at your home for the showing and we recommend not being at the house.
We provide a Bluetooth lock box to all our sellers that only verified and vetted agents will be able to access.
While we love to meet all our sellers in person you do not need to come to our office. Everything we do can be done safely online and remotely.
While we suggest using one of our Bluetooth lock boxes you do not need the lock box. If you prefer to be at your property to let the buyer and buyer agent in then you can do that.

B. CANCELLATION OF LISTING. There are no fees for cancellation after 90 days of being active in the MLS. Seller may cancel this listing at any time with the understanding that Everhome will incur specific expenses, on Seller’s behalf, to list and sell subject property. Everhome incurs those expenses, in good faith and with the expectation that they will have Seller’s full cooperation and ample time to sell the home and recover the incurred expenses, plus a fair profit. Seller also acknowledges that factors that greatly impact Everhome’s ability to sell the home, like list price, Buyer Broker commission, showing access and other factors are decided by seller alone. Failure to sell the property will primarily be the result of a factor that is controlled by the Seller and not Everhome. Everhome will make recommendations for success, but the decision to implement is that of the Seller only. Should seller cancel the listing within 90 days of being active in the MLS, Seller agrees to reimburse Everhome $1,180 for the costs incurred on seller’s behalf. In the event of cancellation and reimbursement of costs to Everhome, seller shall retain all rights to all photos to be used for any purpose.
