Not a Gimmick, a Contract that Holds Me Accountable
I'm Sean Engmann — a REALTOR® with a strong business background — and I believe that my promises should be backed by real results. That’s why the Top Dollar Guarantee isn’t marketing fluff. It’s a written, signed performance agreement that holds me accountable for delivering the results I promise. If I don’t meet the standards we agree on, you get up to $25,000 back at closing.
A Guarantee Backed by a Proven System
I’m able to offer this because my selling system is structured, disciplined, and built to consistently produce top-dollar outcomes. The guarantee simply ensures I execute that system at the highest level — every single time.
Most Agents Make Promises. I Put Mine in Writing
Simple, clear, and enforceable.
That’s what makes this guarantee different.
How it Works
Initial Phone Call
Gather Info
We start with a 15 minute consultation over the phone or Zoom. This is so we can get to know each other and to give me a better idea about the property and your goals. I can also answer questions about the program. If it makes sense, we'll set a time to meet at the home.
Meet at the Property
Establish Top Dollar
This meeting is set for 30 minutes, but I set aside an hour to answer questions. I will bring a preliminary market analysis with me to review with you after touring the home. I will also learn more about your goals and preferences. At the end of this meeting we will together establish a preliminary Top Dollar value based on the current condition.
Written Marketing Plan
Sign Agreement
Within 3 business days, I will present to you a detailed, written marketing plan explaining how we will achieve Top Dollar. If necessary, we will review and revise the plan to best meet your needs and finalize the Top Dollar amount. When we sign the listing agreement, the guarantee will be included as an addendum.
List the Property & Sell It!
If your home sells for even $1 less than the agreed-upon Top Dollar price, you don’t pay full commission. For each full percentage point the gross sales price falls below Top Dollar, you receive a credit at closing — up to a maximum of $25,000. The exact credit amount and maximum depend on the Top Dollar value established during our meeting. You can see the full breakdown in the table below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the Top Dollar Agent Performance Guarantee and how does it work?
The Top Dollar Agent Performance Guarantee is included as an addendum to the listing agreement and holds me financially accountable to the results we agree on. If your home sells for even $1 below the established Top Dollar benchmark, my commission is reduced at closing. Depending on the Top Dollar price we agree to, for each percentage the gross sales price of the home (excluding concessions), you will receive a credit at closing against my commission.
How do you calculate how much money back I get if the home doesn't sell for Top Dollar?
Once the Top Dollar price is defined, you get a fixed amount for every full percentage point that the gross sales price of the home (excluding concessions) sells below the Top Dollar price, up to a maximum amount according to the table below:
Top Dollar Price
Under $650,000 | $100 per % point | cap of $2,500
$625K - $1.249M | $200 per % point | cap of $5,000
$1.25M - $1.999M | $500 per % point | cap of $10,000
$2.0M - $2.499M | $500 per % point | cap of $15,000
$2.5M - $2.999M | $800 per % point | cap of $20,000
$3,000,000 plus | $1,000 per % point | cap of $25,000
If your home sells for less than 1% below the Top Dollar price, even $1 less, you'd get the same amount back as if it sold for 1% less than the Top Dollar price.
How is the Top Dollar price determined?
It is determined by agreement between you and me. I bring a market analysis to the in-person meeting, we discuss the features of your home in present condition and we agree on Top Dollar. If we can't agree you can list with me without that guarantee, come up with a plan on how to get the price you want, or part as friends. You get to keep the market analysis free of charge.
Is the Top Dollar price the same as the list price?
Not necessarily. The list price is a marketing tool — it may be higher or lower than the Top Dollar benchmark, depending on our pricing strategy. For example, we may list slightly lower to generate competition or slightly higher to target a niche buyer. The guarantee is tied to the result - not the list price.
Is there anything that I need to do to participate?
The only thing you need to do is order a pre-sale home and pest inspection within 10 days of signing, or provide an inspection report done in the last 3 months. You can choose the inspectors. This is just to make sure that there are no surprises about property condition that could impact the marketability of the home. Depending on what package you select, the fees for these inspections may be included in my fee.
What if I change my mind or want to cancel?
No problem. This program is completely risk-free. You can cancel the guarantee or the listing agreement at any time, for any reason, with no fees or penalties.
What if my home doesn't sell or you don't sell it?
The guarantees are contingent on the home actually selling with me as the listing agent. If the home does not sell, or if I am removed as the listing agent, the guarantees are void.
Do I need to participate in this program to list with you?
Absolutely not! This program is designed to be a turnkey solution that delivers results. If your needs differ, or if you'd prefer not to participate, I can still list your home without the guarantee. If you decide to part as friends, you get to keep the market analysis as my gift to you.
What happens to the Top Dollar price if I decide to update the home before listing?
The Top Dollar price is determined based upon the present condition of the home at the time the addendum is signed. If, in my sales and marketing plan I recommend making updates to the home and the updates are completed, I will complete a new market analysis reflecting the upgrades and we may agree on a new Top Dollar price. I will not commit to a Top Dollar price contingent upon making updates because market conditions could change and there could be ambiguity between the recommendations and the work completed.
Are all properties and property types eligible?
Generally, yes but with exceptions. For example, if the property is tenant-occupied during the sale or if there are sufficient concerns with the property or HOA that limit the ability of a buyer to secure a conventional loan on the property, I have the right not to offer the guarantee on a case by case basis.
Are there any additional fees to participate in the Top Dollar program?
No, but in order for me to make a guarantee the home needs to be presented and marketed to achieve Top Dollar. If you choose not to follow the marketing plan designed to get Top Dollar, I may still list the home but may not be able to offer the guarantee.
