THE FORMULA
One simple equation, nothing hidden
Every cash offer we make comes down to three numbers. Here's what each one means and exactly where it comes from.
After-Repair Value (ARV)
The price your home would fetch fully renovated and market-ready — not just repaired, but polished to its best possible showing condition, the way a move-in-ready home sells on the retail market. We base it on recent sales of comparable homes nearby, and we're happy to show you exactly which ones.
The ~70%
This covers what it costs us to take on the risk: the repairs we fund, months of holding costs, closing and resale fees, and a modest profit. It's how we can pay all cash, buy as-is, and close on your timeline.
Repair Costs
What it'll take to bring the home up to market condition. We estimate this ourselves, you never pay for a single repair, and you can leave behind anything you don't want to take.
A REAL EXAMPLE
See it with real numbers
Say your home would be worth $320,000 fully renovated and market-ready, and it needs about $40,000 of work to get there.
And you'd pay $0 in repairs, $0 in commissions, and $0 in closing costs, with cash in hand in as little as 7 days.
Estimate your own offer
A rough estimate only. Your real offer depends on condition, location, and today's market, and the only way to get your actual number is to request an offer.
IS IT WORTH IT?
What you trade, and what you gain
A cash offer is less than full retail. But retail comes with commissions, repairs, and months of waiting. Here's the honest trade-off on that same $320,000 home.
| Selling to us | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Offer / sale price | $184,000 | up to $320,000 |
| Repairs you fund | $0 | ~$40,000 |
| Agent commissions (~6%) | $0 | ~$19,200 |
| Seller closing costs | $0 (we pay) | ~$5,000 |
| Holding costs while it sells | $0 | ~$6,000 (3+ mo) |
| Showings & fall-through risk | None | Ongoing |
| Time to cash in hand | 7–14 days | 2–4+ months |
Listing can still net more if your home is move-in ready and you can afford to front the repairs and wait. If it needs work, or you need speed and certainty, a cash sale often comes out close, with none of the cost, risk, or hassle. Either way, we'll give you the honest math so you can choose.
When a cash offer makes sense (and when it doesn't)
We only want to buy your home when it's genuinely the better move for you. Here's how to tell.
A cash sale is likely right if you…
- Need to sell fast, whether a job move, foreclosure, or probate deadline
- Own a home that needs repairs you can't or don't want to fund
- Are done being a landlord or dealing with tenants
- Inherited a property you don't want to manage from afar
- Want a guaranteed close date with zero showings or financing fall-through
Listing may net you more if you…
- Have a home that's already updated and move-in ready
- Aren't in a hurry to sell
- Can afford to front repairs and carry the home for a few months
- Are comfortable with showings and the chance a buyer backs out
If that's you, we'll tell you straight, with no pressure to sell to us.
