🧮 How we calculate offers
How We Calculate Your Cash Offer
When a cash buyer makes you an offer, it isn’t a random number — it comes from a simple, repeatable formula. Understanding it puts you in control of the conversation and helps you judge whether an offer is fair.
It comes down to four things: what your home is worth fully fixed up (its after-repair value), what it would cost to get it there, the buyer’s closing and holding costs, and a reasonable margin. Subtract the last three from the first, and you have the offer.
The big advantage of selling this way isn’t the headline price — it’s everything you don’t pay. No 5–6% agent commission. No closing costs. No repairs or cleanup out of your pocket. No months of mortgage, taxes, and insurance while a listing sits on the market. For a home that needs work, those savings often close most of the gap with a traditional sale — and you get certainty and a closing date you choose.

The simple math
How we get to your cash offer
Because we skip agent commissions and you pay no closing costs or repairs, more of the home’s value stays with you than the “discount” first suggests.

Frequently asked questions
How do you decide what to offer?
We start with your home's after-repair value — what it would sell for fully fixed up, based on recent comparable sales nearby. From that we subtract the cost of repairs, our closing and holding costs, and a modest margin. What's left is a fair, all-cash offer you can take or leave.
Will I get full retail market value?
Usually not quite — a cash offer trades a little top-line price for speed, certainty, and zero hassle. But remember what you keep: no agent commissions (often 5–6%), no closing costs, no repairs, and no months of carrying the home while it sits listed. For many sellers the net is very close.
Are there any fees taken out of the offer?
No. The number we agree on is what you walk away with. There are no commissions, listing fees, or closing costs charged to you.
How accurate is the calculator on this page?
It's a rough, educational estimate based only on the numbers you enter — not an appraisal or a real offer. Your actual offer is free and based on a real look at the home, its condition, and current local sales.
Can I get a higher offer?
Sometimes. Homes that need little work, or that sit on desirable or redevelopment-prized lots, support stronger offers. The best way to find out is to request a real, no-obligation offer — it costs nothing.
