One local sale. A focused marketing campaign.
In the featured video, Tyce describes a Sioux Falls home marketed with a $100,000 starting price that sold for $240,000. The campaign ran for 14 days, included five open houses, and brought approximately 150 visitors through the property. The seller paid a 3% total commission in that transaction.
The starting price was part of the marketing strategy, not a statement that the home was worth only $100,000. This is one past result, not a promise of your sale price, traffic, savings, or selling time.
How the process can work for your home
- Compare your selling options. Review comparable sales, your timeline, and the likely costs and proceeds under a bidding campaign or traditional listing.
- Agree on the plan. Put the marketing schedule, starting price, fees, representation, and offer process in writing.
- Launch the campaign. Coordinate online promotion, video, and open houses around a defined bidding period.
- Review offers and terms. Consider price alongside financing, contingencies, possession, and closing dates. A bid does not replace the purchase agreement process.
- Move toward closing. Once an agreement is signed, work through the transaction’s deadlines and requirements with your agent.
USA Home Bids or a traditional listing?
A bidding campaign concentrates attention around a planned schedule and starting bid. A traditional listing generally presents an asking price and welcomes offers as buyers tour the home. Either approach needs thoughtful pricing, strong presentation, and clear communication. The best fit depends on your property and goals.
Before deciding, ask for a comparison of estimated seller net proceeds. A lower commission percentage alone does not describe every cost or guarantee a better result.

USA Home Bids: seller questions answered
What is USA Home Bids?
USA Home Bids is an online bidding platform used with an agent-led home marketing campaign. It gives buyers a structured way to submit bids while the seller reviews the resulting offers and terms.
Do I have to accept the highest bid?
No. The platform’s seller FAQ says you may reject or counter. Review your options with your agent and follow the terms of your agreements.
Can I sell my home for 3% total commission?
Tyce’s featured Sioux Falls sale used a 3% total seller-paid commission. Commission is negotiable. Ask our team for a written proposal showing the services, compensation, platform charges, any buyer premium, and other costs for your property.
Does a 14-day campaign mean I close in 14 days?
No. The video describes a 14-day marketing campaign. The closing schedule depends on the purchase agreement, financing, inspections, title work, and other transaction requirements.
Is the starting bid the home’s market value?
Not necessarily. A starting bid can be a marketing tool. Compare recent sales and expected net proceeds instead of treating the difference between the starting bid and final price as appreciation or a pricing guarantee.
Is USA Home Bids right for every property?
No. Your goals, condition, location, schedule, and buyer demand matter. Our team can compare a bidding campaign with a traditional listing for your Sioux Falls area home.
See what makes sense for your home.
