1% Costs to Seller & 1% costs Buyers 

1+1 total cost+normal title & escrow fees.

• Seller-side service: proposed 1% fee.
• Buyer-side service: proposed 1% fee.
• Buyer financing option: in qualified, lawful transactions, the buyer’s 1% may potentially be handled through a straight note secured by a second trust deed, proposed at 3% interest, due in five years or less, with no proposed monthly payments and early payoff allowed.
• Professional service remains essential: pricing, marketing, negotiations, inspections, disclosures, financing coordination, escrow, appraisal and closing support.
• Every arrangement must be lawful, lender-compliant, provided through properly licensed professionals and agreed to in writing.

The earlier seller-focused version uses the central promise:

Professional Real Estate Service. Lower Seller Cost. More Money Left in the Seller’s Hands.

It also emphasizes dignity, honesty, strong market exposure, respect for seller equity and service before maximum profit.

One item is not yet consistent across the older material: different drafts mention 15%, 20%, 30% or even 50% supporting veteran causes. I would not publish a fixed percentage until the exact contribution structure, recipient organization, accounting and legal compliance are formally settled. For this first signup page, I recommend the truthful phrase:

A mission-supporting portion of qualifying program revenue is intended to help veterans and veteran housing efforts, subject to the final written program terms.

Here is the first complete public-page draft.

GOOD GUYS 1+1 REAL ESTATE SERVICES™

Veteran-Founded. Service First. Fairer Cost.

Helping Sellers Keep More Equity

Helping Buyers Reduce Upfront Pressure

Supporting Veterans and Stronger Communities

Good Guys 1+1 Real Estate Services™ is a veteran-founded, service-first real estate program built on a simple belief:

People buying or selling a home deserve honest professional help without unnecessary transaction costs.

Our purpose is not to reduce the quality of real estate service.

Our purpose is to provide professional representation through properly licensed real estate professionals while helping sellers protect more of their equity and helping buyers manage the cost of professional representation.

Service First. Fair Pricing. Trust Always.

 

HOW THE 1+1 MODEL WORKS

1% Seller-Side Service

Where lawful, available and agreed to in writing, a participating licensed real estate professional may offer a proposed 1% seller-side real estate service fee.

Seller-side service may include:

• Pricing and market strategy
• Property preparation guidance
• Professional marketing and listing exposure
• MLS coordination where available
• Offer review
• Negotiation
• Disclosure and deadline assistance
• Inspection and appraisal coordination
• Escrow and closing support

The purpose is to help the seller receive professional representation while keeping more of the seller’s equity.

1% Buyer-Side Service

Where lawful, available and agreed to in writing, a participating licensed real estate professional may offer a proposed 1% buyer-side real estate service fee.

Buyer-side service may include:

• Property search assistance
• Offer preparation and strategy
• Negotiation
• Inspection review
• Disclosure review
• Financing and escrow coordination
• Deadline management
• Closing support

Each party pays for the professional service provided to that party, subject to local law, brokerage policy, lender requirements and written agreements.

 

POSSIBLE BUYER PAYMENT OPTION

In a qualified transaction, where lawful and properly approved, the buyer may be offered an alternative way to handle the buyer-side 1% service cost.

The proposed structure may involve:

• A straight note secured by a second trust deed
• A proposed interest rate of 3%
• A term of five years or less
• No proposed monthly payments
• Payment at maturity
• The right to pay the balance earlier without penalty

This option is not automatically available.

It would require review and approval by the participating broker, lender, escrow holder, title professionals and any other required licensed or regulated parties.

All terms must be lawful, fully disclosed and agreed to in writing.

 

WHY THIS MATTERS

A home may represent years of work, sacrifice, mortgage payments, improvements and family history.

The money a seller preserves may help that person:

• Move into a safer home
• Pay debts
• Support retirement
• Recover from hardship
• Help family members
• Address medical or financial pressure
• Begin a new chapter with dignity

Buyers also face substantial pressure from down payments, inspections, loan expenses, closing costs and professional-service fees.

Good Guys 1+1 Real Estate Services™ is designed to explore a fairer structure for both sides while preserving professional representation.

 

OUR VETERANS MISSION

Good Guys 1+1 Real Estate Services™ was founded with a commitment to veterans, veteran families and people facing housing hardship.

Our mission is to build a real estate service that:

• Treats every person with dignity
• Gives veterans and veteran families a clear place to ask for help
• Supports responsible veteran housing efforts
• Encourages participating veterans to become real estate professionals, referral partners or community representatives where properly licensed
• Uses honest business and service to strengthen communities
• Respects faith, conscience and the principle of loving and serving our neighbors

A mission-supporting portion of qualifying program revenue is intended to help veterans and veteran housing efforts, subject to the final written program terms.

No charitable contribution amount or recipient should be assumed unless it is specifically stated in the final transaction documents or program disclosure.

 

THE GOOD GUYS STANDARD

Every participating professional should serve with:

Honesty

Clear communication

Professional competence

Fair pricing

Strong market exposure

Local market knowledge

Respect for seller equity

Respect for buyer budgets

Respect for veterans

Respect for every person

This program is not about doing less.

It is about serving better.

That is clearer and safer than calling it a “court” or implying that it is already an official veterans organization. The website can still explain that it is faith-friendly and inspired by Gospel principles of truth, service, dignity and love of neighbor.
