Schedule Your Appointment

During the appointment, we figured out how much it would cost us to fix it all up. We now know how much money we would sell it for, and how much it cost us to sell it. Basically, (there is a bit more involved) based on these numbers we present you an offer that is fair.

Cash For Your House. The Offer Formula.

Let’s Do The Math

Our offers are based on the After Repaired Value of your house. This way we can make the highest fair offers for your house where we can walk away with our profits, and you with the cash you need. Here is a breakdown of how the offer is generated.

[Your Offer] = [After Repair Value] – [Cost Of Repairs] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]

What Does It Mean?

Here’s How We Calculate Our Cash Offers

1) We Determine The After Repairs-Market Value Of Your House.

The After-Repairs Value: (or “ARV”) simply means what your house would be worth if it were completely renovated based on current market standards, just like your favorite HGTV show. Your offer is based on this value.

2) We Calculate The Cost of Repairs

The Cost Of Repairs: is how much it would cost us to renovate the house and make it look spectacular, and ready for the market. Just like it was when you first purchased your new home. Remember the exciting feeling of something new. We obviously strive to increase the value of the house so we can get as much as possible for it. This means a higher offer for you and an acceptable profit for us.

3) We Determine Our Selling Costs

The Selling Cost: includes all the costs associated with selling a property. Although we buy houses from homeowners without involving agents, we, on the other hand, to give you a higher offer, do need to be able to sell the house for top value after we fix it up (this was the whole point of fixing up the property). That means we list it with an agent, which means we have closing costs, agent commissions, and taxes to pay.

4) We Take Out Our Profits

Our Profits: are reasonable. This is a business and without a profit, we wouldn’t be able to stay in business, buy houses, pay our contractors, and plumbers, etc. Rest assured our profits are fair, and this business prioritizes the highest possible offers (otherwise no one would accept our offers in the first place and we’d be out of business!)

Simply put, it all boils down to this simple concept:

How it works made easy…

Your offer will be the market value of your house completely fixed up, minus all the costs associated with us bringing the house to its completely fixed-up condition, minus our profits (of course).

The Win-Win Principle Of Cash Offers Example:

Imagine for a moment that you have a house in complete disrepair, and therefore you can’t sell it for much, (in fact, you probably wouldn’t even be able to list it as banks will not loan against houses in severe disrepair). Although it might be inexpensive, the average person could not and would not buy it.

Now, let’s say that the house in its current condition is worth $420K (so the “as-is” value is $420,000), but let’s say that if you were to put $100K into the house, you would be able to sell it for $640K. (Yes this is actually the same house.)

Sadly you either don’t have the funds or the will, time, or energy to deal with contractors, repairs, and all the stress that comes with it.

Cash buyers like us could come in and offer you $450K for your home, which is $30K MORE than the current value of your house.  For us, this works because, if your house is worth $420K, but we offer you $450K for your house and we put in $100K making the house worth $640K, means we then spend $550K and we made $640K netting us a profit (let’s ignore all other costs and taxes for the sake of simplicity) of $90K.

You get more than what your house is currently worth, we make our minimum profit, and everyone walks away happy.

The fine print here is that this situation doesn’t always occur, but that is why you fill in the form, so we can see what options are available to you so you can still walk away with a win (as well as us).

Said differently, You’ll Get The Best Offer Right Here:

As-Is-Value = $420K

After Repair Value (ARV) = $640K

Cost Of Repairs (COR) = $100K

Our Selling Cost = 10% x $640K = $64K

Our Profit For This Purchase = $90K

[Your Offer] = [ARV] – [COR] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]

Your Offer = $640K – $100K – $64K – $40K

Your Offer = $436K

WOW, So that is $16,000 More than what the house is currently worth, and almost $20K more than what you would get if you had listed it with an agent (remember that you would only get $416K after all listing and agent fees). Again, our offers are based on the numbers, not on how badly you are to sell.
