One Bad Call. Game Over.
Chris Webber had the game in his hands until one decision changed everything. The same happens to home sellers.

Seconds from Glory
It was 1993. NCAA Championship. Michigan vs. UNC.
Final seconds. Down by two.
Chris Webber, one of the Fab Five, races up the court. He’s pressured. Trapped. Looking for a lifeline.
And then… he calls timeout.
Only one problem: they didn’t have any left.
Whistle. Technical foul.
UNC gets the ball. Game over.
Just like that… the dream was gone.

That Sick Feeling? Homeowners Know it Too
Webber didn’t lose because he wasn’t talented.
He lost because in a high stress moment, without the right preparation, he panicked.
That same feeling?
It hits homeowners every day.
You prep the home. You list it. You feel momentum…
Then the offer falls apart. The buyer backs out. The inspection turns ugly. Or you realize you priced it wrong and it’s too late to recover.
And now the listing is stale. The whispers start.
“What’s wrong with it?”
The worst part? It’s not always about effort.
It’s about strategy, timing, and knowing what to do when the pressure hits.
That’s why I created this:
Not to impress you. But to prepare you for the moments that make or break a sale.
Inside, you’ll learn:
The 3 key questions to ask before you ever list
Why pricing for perception (not emotion) is your edge
The launch strategy that turns your home into the listing buyers chase
How to spot the red flags in offers and avoid deal killers
And how to keep your cool when everything’s on the line
And yes. We included the full listing agreement, plus a plain English breakdown, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before you take your first step
Final Thought
Chris Webber will never forget that moment.
And many homeowners carry the same regret:
“We didn’t see it coming. We didn’t have a plan.”
