We partner with you to list and sell your home at full retail value on the open market — handling everything from prep to closing. You just collect your check.
The Keystone Partnership is a simple arrangement where we partner with the seller to list and sell their home at full retail value on the open market. Keystone handles everything — prep work, professional photography, listing, marketing, showings, negotiations, and closing. The seller does not lift a finger. They sit back and collect their proceeds when the home sells.

| Traditional Sale | Keystone Partnership |
|---|---|

| Seller finds and coordinates a realtor | Keystone's licensed agents handle the listing |
| Seller schedules and hosts showings | We coordinate and manage all showings |
| Seller manages repair requests after inspection | We handle all prep and finishing work upfront |
| Weeks of back-and-forth negotiations | Keystone manages all offers and negotiations |
| Cash offer = 65–75% of home's value | Closer to full retail — seller nets significantly more |

Answers to common questions about the Keystone Partnership
With a traditional listing, the seller is responsible for preparing the home, coordinating repairs, being available for showings, and managing the process. With the Keystone Partnership, we handle every single piece of that — including prep, the listing, and all negotiations. The seller is completely hands-off from day one.
At closing — once the home sells on the open market. This is not an upfront cash payment. The seller receives their agreed net proceeds out of the sale, just like a traditional closing.
Typically around 90 days from signed agreement to closing — including prep, listing, time on market, and closing. Every situation is different and we move as efficiently as possible.
Minor prep — touch-ups, staging, light finishing — is handled by our team and factored into the deal structure. The seller pays nothing out of pocket. If the home needs significant repairs or a full remodel, a different structure may be a better fit and we'll be upfront about that.
No. Nothing. All costs are settled at closing out of the sale proceeds. The seller's net amount is agreed upon before signing and does not change.
We actively market the property to drive results within the agreed timeline. If conditions require a strategy adjustment, we communicate with the seller and work together on the best path forward. Nothing happens without the seller's knowledge.
No. The seller works directly with Keystone. Our licensed agents handle the listing and the entire transaction. There are no additional commissions or fees on the seller's side.
No pressure. No obligation. Just a straightforward conversation.
