How We Calculate Your Offer

No secrets here. Everything must be a win-win. Here is the math we use on every house, written out for you. Want to know more about us first? Read our story.

Your Offer = After Repair Value (ARV) - Repair Costs - Selling Costs - Investor Return

Your Offer. This is the cash you receive at closing. The full amount, no deductions.

After Repair Value (ARV). What your house is worth once it has been fixed and updated, based on recent local comps.

Repair Costs. What the rehab will cost. Functionally, this is money you save by selling to us.

Selling Costs. Commissions, excise tax, property tax, insurance, title, utilities, and escrow. About ten percent of ARV.

Investor Return. What pays our team and the contractors who do the work.

Cash Sale vs Listing

What Each Path Actually Costs You

Listing your home is not always the wrong move. It is just rarely the only move. Compare the line items honestly, then see what recent sellers say about choosing the cash route.

FAQ

More on the Process

What information do you need from me to make an offer?

Four quick things. How fast you want to sell, the home's current condition (and any recent improvements), how long you have owned it, and your reason for selling. The whole intake takes five to ten minutes on the phone. The more context you share, the sharper the offer we can put together.

How soon can I get my cash offer?

Most sellers have an offer in hand inside fifteen to thirty minutes after the call. We are an instant buyer and we move at that speed. You can stay on the phone with us while our underwriting team finalizes the number if you prefer.

How do you calculate the cash offer?

Your offer = After Repair Value (ARV) - Repair Costs - Selling Costs - Investor Return. After Repair Value (ARV) is what the home is worth once it has been fixed up. Repair costs are what the rehab will run. Selling costs cover the eventual resale (commissions, taxes, escrow, utilities) and usually land near ten percent of ARV. The remainder, after our return, is your cash offer.

Why not list with an agent and get a higher price?

Sometimes that is the right call, especially when the home is in great shape and you can afford to wait. Listing comes with prep costs, agent commissions (around six percent), inspection contingencies, financing contingencies, and sixty to ninety days on market. When you account for the time and the deductions, the listing path often comes out close to a cash offer with none of the certainty.

How do I know you will actually close?

Look for proof of past closings, real reviews from real sellers, BBB accreditation, a physical office, and a contract that does not change after you sign. We have all of those. Our network of buyers is funded and the price agreed up front is the price you receive at closing.
