Most buyer's agents do one thing: open doors. They unlock houses, write the offer, and disappear at closing. Whissel Beer Group built the VIP Buyer Program™ to do the opposite, to take real costs and real risks off a buyer's plate in one of the most expensive markets in the country. This guide walks through exactly what the program includes, what each benefit is worth, and how to get it, from San Diego County's number one residential team per the San Diego Business Journal, with more than 9,000 homes sold for over $7 billion in volume and 3,500+ five-star reviews across Google, Zillow, and Yelp.
What Is the VIP Buyer Program™?
The VIP Buyer Program™ is a package of exclusive benefits available to every buyer who works with a Whissel Beer Group agent. There is no separate fee and no upfront cost to the buyer; in most San Diego purchases the buyer's agent commission is covered by the seller at closing, so the program's benefits come at no added charge. Buying a home in San Diego is expensive and stressful. The program is built to reduce both, by covering costs buyers normally pay out of pocket, protecting them after they move in, and giving them access to inventory other buyers never see.
What's Included
Every benefit below is included automatically when you buy with Whissel Beer Group. Here is what each one is and what it saves you.
| Benefit | Value | What It Means for You |
| Free moving truck | Lifetime access to a fleet of three trucks | Use the trucks free for life, not just on moving day, whether you are buying or selling. |
| Free 13-month home warranty | Every client, every transaction | A full year and a month of protection against surprise repair bills on major systems and appliances after closing. |
| Free termite inspection | $100 to $175 value | A commonly required inspection covered, with one less out-of-pocket cost during escrow. |
| Appraisal coverage | $700 to $800 value | Your appraisal fee covered when you use a preferred lender. |
Taken together, the moving truck, warranty, termite inspection, and appraisal coverage remove more than a thousand dollars of typical out-of-pocket cost from the buying process. The appraisal coverage alone runs $700 to $800, a fee most San Diego buyers pay themselves.
Support From Offer to Close
The VIP Buyer Program™ lowers the cost of buying, and the team behind it keeps the process accountable. Your agent works alongside a dedicated transaction coordinator, and the Client Concierge team keeps you updated from accepted offer to closing day, so a fast decision in a competitive market is backed by a clear, well-run process.
How to Access the Program
There is no application, no enrollment, and no qualifying criteria. Every buyer who works with a Whissel Beer Group agent receives the VIP Buyer Program™ automatically, and it starts at the first conversation rather than at closing. The cost-coverage benefits apply as they come up during escrow. The program works the same whether you are buying your fifth home or your first, since nothing about it is tied to price point or experience level. The relationship does not end at closing either. Moving truck access is for life, and Whissel Beer Group clients stay on the list for quarterly appreciation events and curated restaurant reservations at 30+ San Diego restaurants.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the VIP Buyer Program™?
The program includes a free moving truck (lifetime access to a fleet of three trucks), a free 13-month home warranty, a free termite inspection (a $100 to $175 value), and appraisal coverage through preferred lenders (a $700 to $800 value). Every benefit is included automatically for buyers who work with a Whissel Beer Group agent. See full details at whisselbeergroup.com.
Does the VIP Buyer Program™ cost anything?
No. There is no separate fee to the buyer. In most San Diego transactions the buyer's agent commission is covered by the seller at closing, though since the 2024 National Association of Realtors settlement that compensation is negotiated in each deal rather than assumed (NAR). Your agent will explain how it works for your specific purchase, but the program's benefits themselves come at no added charge to you.
