01 · A rare opportunity

A smarter way to sell a home that deserves more than generic marketing.

Traditional marketing puts a price on a property and waits for the market to respond. Sellers Reserve reverses that. We take 101 Prone to the market, attract qualified buyers, set a defined decision date, November 21, 2026, and create the conditions for genuine competition, protected by a reserve you approve.

  • 1Distinctive attributes deserve a distinctive campaign.
  • 2Qualified buyers should compete, not merely enquire.
  • 3A seller approved reserve, a set date and a clear contingency plan.

02 · Understanding your property

Detached, cul de sac, and an unusually generous lot.

    New lease listing at $6,800/mo

At $6,800/month, gross rent is $81,600 a year, roughly a 3.4% gross yield on a $2.4M value, before taxes, assessments, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancy. Releasing that capital may be the stronger move.

03 · The current Irvine market

Buyers have choices. Waiting is a strategy, just not a good one.

The takeaway

101 Prone wins on land, location and lifestyle, not square footage alone. The campaign must sell scarcity.

05 · Traditional vs. Sellers Reserve

Stop waiting for a buyer. Create a market event.

Price based listing

  • A list price caps the conversation
  • Buyers negotiate down, one at a time
  • No deadline, days on market accumulate
  • Price reductions signal weakness

Sellers Reserve

  • Buyers are invited to compete openly
  • A defined decision date: Nov 21, 2026
  • Reserve set and approved by you
  • Contingency plan if reserve isn't met

A conventional listing can suit sellers who prioritize price exploration over timing certainty. For a home with 101 Prone's scarcity, a structured competitive event is worth serious consideration.

06 · Buyer attraction strategy

Who we'll bring to the table, and how.

The Irvine buyer seeking more space

Wants more usable land and room to entertain without leaving Irvine.

Multigenerational households

Value a downstairs bedroom and bath and flexible living zones.

Relocation buyers

Moving for work, schools or lifestyle; seek newer homes and community amenities.

08 · Reserve protection & sale process

You stay in control from first inspection to final bid.

01

Set

Reserve agreed privately with you, informed by evidence and buyer feedback.

02

Confirm

Final reserve confirmed before bidding opens on Nov 21.

03

Compete

Registered, qualified bidders compete in the open.

04

Decide

Reserve met: contract executed. Not met: you're never compelled to sell.

An auction is not a guaranteed sale or a guaranteed premium. The reserve protects you from accepting an unacceptable price under the agreed terms.

09 · Investment, fees & net proceeds

Our fee is clear. Cindy's commission is negotiated separately.

Cindy's commission

Separately negotiated

Agreed directly with Cindy under your brokerage agreement, not included in the Sellers Reserve fee.

0% buyer's premium

No buyer's premium.

A buyer's premium ultimately costs the seller.

Buyers work within a total budget. A premium added to the purchase price reduces what they can bid for your home. Sellers Reserve does not charge a buyer's premium, so buyers can direct their purchase budget to the property instead.

Sellers Reserve is 1.5% of the sale price. The example follows the value slider. Cindy's negotiated commission and other selling costs are separate; no combined commission is assumed. Net proceeds also depend on loans, liens, HOA, Mello Roos, assessments and tax advice.
