The risk isn't selling the property. It's defending the decision later.
14days makes the decision process visible, comparable, and documented before anything is committed.
“Losing a family member is hard enough on its own. When I inherited a cluttered, dated property, the mountain of manual labor and administrative tasks ahead was incredibly overwhelming in an already challenging time. My estate attorney recommended I contact Martin Boonzaaijer with 14Days.”

The decision is judged on process not just price.
- Were reasonable alternatives considered?
- Was there adequate market exposure?
- Was the decision made with adequate information?
- Could the process be shown clearly if questioned?
Offers arrive scattered emails, texts, calls, different timelines. One gets accepted. The rest rarely form a clear record. Months later, the question becomes: “What else was considered and can you show it?”
An accepted offer shows the outcome. It doesn't show the decision process.
A signed contract shows what was chosen. It doesn’t show how.
An accepted offer doesn’t show:
What alternatives existed
How the options compared
What information was available at the time
Whether the process itself was defensible
Defensibility doesn’t come from the offer you accepted. It comes from the offers you can show you reviewed.
Why documenting market response matters.
A short walkthrough of how a documented decision process protects the people responsible for it.

When you sell a property for someone else, you’re carrying a responsibility that isn’t really about you. The decision is yours to make, but the outcome belongs to the estate, to the beneficiaries, to the people counting on you to get it right. So, you find a buyer, you accept a fair offer, the sale closes, and it feels like the responsibility is over. Here’s what I’ve learned from years in this business. The hard part usually isn’t the sale.
It’s the question that comes later. Because disputes rarely start because the price was wrong. They start when someone asks how the decision was made. Why this buyer? What else have you considered? Has the market had a chance to respond? And in that moment, the price you got is a matter of opinion. But how you decided it is not. The trouble is most ways of selling were never built to leave that kind of record. One offer gets accepted, the rest fade into memory.
So when the question comes, all you have is what you remember, not what you can show. That’s the gap. 14 days was built to close.
A defined window where buyers submit offers on the same terms. offers you can line up and compare instead of judging each one the moment it arrives. What you’re left with isn’t a recollection.
It’s a record. How the market responded, what the options were, and how you reached your decision. Now, I’ll be straight with you. Not every estate needs this level of documentation. If the situation is simple and no one’s likely to question it, you may not need a record like this. But when the decision may be reviewed by a court, by a family member, or by people who weren’t in the room, being able to show your work changes everything. If that’s the position you’re in, take a look at the process and the sample documentation below. That’s where you’ll see exactly what that record looks like.
A defined review window. Every offer visible. A documented decision.

Documented review
- At every step, the decision stays yours and not selling is always a valid outcome.
The fiduciary remains the decision-maker throughout. 14days does not buy the property, set or appraise its value, or require that any offer be accepted. The role of the process is visibility not pressure, guarantees, or predetermined outcomes.
A decision you can explain months or years later.
When the process concludes, what remains is a record of how the decision was reached.
- The full set of offers received not only the one accepted.
- How they compared, in price and terms, at the time of decision.
- A time-stamped record of what was reviewed before commitment.
If the decision is ever questioned, the answer isn't a recollection. It's a record.
The same sale, with and without a structured process.
Harder to show later
- Limited visibility into what the market would offer
- Offers harder to compare across formats and timelines
- Less documentation of how the decision was reached
- More uncertainty if the decision is reviewed
Clearer to defend
- A structured window to see real market interest
- Comparable offers, side by side, at the time of decision
- A clear record of what was reviewed before commitment
- A decision you can explain if it's ever questioned
Built for the people responsible for the decision.

Questions fiduciaries ask.
Am I required to accept an offer?
How does 14days get paid?
14days is paid by the seller a service fee, typically around 3%, paid from proceeds at closing. There is nothing upfront, and nothing is owed if you don’t accept an offer. 14days represents the estate’s interests in the transaction and never represents the buyer. Where a buyer is sourced through the 14days marketplace, a separate buyer premium may apply paid by the buyer, not from the estate’s proceeds, and disclosed before any decision is made.
How is this different from a direct buyer?
How does this compare to a traditional listing?
Can my attorney or advisor stay involved?
Can trust or probate properties qualify?
Does 14days provide legal advice?
Major decisions deserve documentation not guesswork.
Whether you’re managing a sale now or evaluating 14days for future matters, the first step is seeing how the decision becomes visible before anything is committed.
