When GTA homeowners first hear about the Your Home Sold GUARANTEED or We'll Buy It* program, their first question is almost always: "How do you determine the price you guarantee?"

Unlike predatory private cash buyers who pull an arbitrary lowball number out of thin air, a legitimate Guaranteed Sale Program uses rigorous, data-driven market science based on verified Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) sold statistics.

The 4 Pillars of the Guaranteed Price Calculation

1. Verified 90-Day TRREB Sold Comps

Tony Sousa analyzes verified closed sales within a 1-kilometer radius of your property over the preceding 90 days. We look at matching square footage, bedroom/bathroom counts, basement finish quality, and lot dimensions in your immediate subdivision.

2. Active Competition & Absorption Rate

We assess how many comparable homes are currently listed for sale in your neighborhood and how many days they have sat on the market. In a neighborhood with 2 months of inventory, pricing dynamics are vastly different than in a market with 5 months of inventory.

3. Condition, Mechanicals & Capital Improvements

Recent roof replacements, updated high-efficiency heat pumps, modern kitchens, finished separate-entrance basements, and professionally landscaped outdoor spaces are credited directly to your valuation.

4. The Upfront Written Agreement

Before any marketing begins, Tony Sousa sits down with you to review the numbers. You agree together on two numbers:

    • The Target Open Market Price: The competitive asking price used on the public MLS® system to attract multiple buyers.
    • The Guaranteed Floor Price: The firm written backstop figure Tony Sousa commits to paying if an outside buyer does not purchase by your deadline.

What Happens If an Outside Buyer Offers More?

You keep 100% of the higher price! The guaranteed floor price is simply your insurance policy. If multiple buyers fall in love with your home and drive the price $40,000 above your guaranteed floor, the extra equity is completely yours.
