What is Modern2Market™?

Modern2Market™ is a home modernization program serving the Chicagoland area. We purchase homes that need renovation, update them at zero cost to the seller, and share the hidden renovation profit through a dual-closing structure — so sellers receive more than any traditional cash offer.

How is Modern2Market™ different from a cash buyer or investor?

Traditional investors buy your home cheap, fix it up, and keep all the renovation profit. Modern2Market™ shares that hidden profit with you. You get immediate cash at closing plus a share of the upside when the modernized home resells — money you'd never see from any other buyer.

Does my home need to be listed on the MLS to qualify?

No. Modern2Market™ works with homeowners at any stage — homes currently listed, expired listings, for sale by owner (FSBO) properties, and homes that have never been listed. If your home needs renovation and you want to avoid paying for repairs yourself, you may qualify.

What areas does Modern2Market™ serve?

Modern2Market™ serves the full Chicagoland and Chicago Metro Area, including Cook County, DuPage County, Lake County, and Will County, Illinois.

How much does the Modern2Market™ program cost the seller?

Zero. Modern2Market™ funds 100% of the renovation at no cost to the seller. There are no loans, no liens, and nothing out of pocket. You receive cash at the first closing and a profit share at the second closing.

Sound Familiar?

You've got a listing that's been sitting. You know the problem—and none of the traditional solutions work.

Another Price Reduction

Dropping the price costs your seller money and signals desperation—without fixing the real issue.

✗ Doesn't solve condition problems

Wait for the Right Buyer

The listing keeps aging while your seller pays the mortgage. Eventually, it expires.

✗ You lose the listing and the relationship

Recommend a Flipper

Quick sale, but your seller takes a steep discount and hands over all the upside.

✗ Seller loses equity, you look like you gave up

There's a Better Way: Modern2Market™

Partner with us to offer your sellers a real solution—and earn commission on two closings instead of zero.

How It Works

A simple three-step process that turns dated listings into closed deals.

Initial Closing

Day 30

A national investor purchases the property at appraised as-is value. Seller receives 65% upfront, mortgage paid off, renovation budget reserved.

Modernization

Months 2-4

National investor professionally updates the property—kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paint. Seller pays nothing out of pocket.

Secondary Closing

Month 5

Modernized home sells at full current retail value. Seller receives remaining 35% plus any additional market gains or appreciation.

Estimates based on the National Investor's Cash Flex program (4.75% program fee, 2% closing costs) with Northpoint co-listing commission structure. Secondary closing commission would be based on actual resale price (typically higher). This is for illustration purposes only.

The Commission Structure

You partner with Northpoint as co-listing agents and earn on both transactions.

Initial Closing

0.5%

Your share (1% total, split 50/50)

Commission on the as-is purchase price at the first transaction.

Secondary Closing

1.25%

Your share (2.5% listing side, split 50/50)

Commission on the higher resale price when the modernized property sells.

💡 An expired MLS listing pays 0%. With Modern2Market™, you earn on both closings—on a property that was going nowhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I lose my client in this process?

No. You remain the listing agent throughout—you're not handing off your client. You stay with your seller through both closings and maintain the relationship.

How is this different from selling to a flipper?

Flippers buy at a steep discount and keep all the appreciation profit. With Modern2Market™, the seller receives appraised as-is value AND participates in the gains at secondary closing. The seller is a partner, not someone getting bought out cheap.

How does the co-listing commission work?

You partner with Northpoint as co-listing agents on the MLS. At Initial Closing, there's a 1% total commission split 50/50 (0.5% to you). At Secondary Closing, the 2.5% listing side is also split 50/50 (1.25% to you). Your secondary commission is based on the higher resale price after modernization.

Who is the national investor?

We work with established national investors, like: ZoomCasa, Zoodealio, Up Equity, etc., who have the capital, renovation teams, and proven systems to execute modernization projects professionally. These aren't individual flippers; they're companies with resources and track records.

What if my seller changes their mind?

Terms and conditions apply per the purchase agreement. Speak with us about specific cancellation provisions before your seller commits.
