Cash For Your Home – Explained!
We've covered the essentials of our cash home buying process, but we understand you may have more questions. If you're eager for further details on how we can offer cash for your property, keep reading! We'll delve into a real-life case study, our offer crafting process, and the distinctions between selling with an agent versus choosing us.
When it comes to selling your house, we acknowledge you have various options and companies to consider. We provide a transparent walkthrough of the entire process, ensuring you have a clear understanding of what to anticipate when working with us.
You’re probably wondering…how in the world do they even come up with these cash offers?
In contrast to other companies that may capitalize on your desperation or perceived "motivation" to sell – a term often associated with low-ball offers – we take a different approach. We base our offers solely on our numbers, without considering your level of motivation. It's a straightforward process, no exceptions.
Now, onto the exciting part...
OUR OFFER FORMULA
Let's explore these terms further to gain a comprehensive understanding of the four primary components of our cash offer.
- After Repair Value (ARV):Our cash offer is based on what the property would be worth after it’s fully renovated—this is called the After Repair Value. It reflects the market value of your home once it’s updated with modern features like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and other high-end finishes.
- Cost of Repairs: Knowing how much it will cost to fix up the house is important. We estimate this either during our first walk-through or by talking through the details over the phone.
- Selling Costs: Even though we buy properties without using real estate agents, we usually sell them through the MLS after fixing them up. This means we have to pay for things like agent commissions, closing fees, utilities, insurance, property taxes, and other small expenses, usually adding up to about 10% of the final sale price.
- Profit: We truly enjoy renovating homes, but we also need to earn a profit to keep our business running and support our families. We aim to keep our profits fair so we can make strong, competitive offers that sellers are more likely to accept.
Let’s walk through a real-life example of a homeowner we helped right here in Orlando. Here's how it played out:
💰 How We Make a Fair Cash Offer
We base our offer on simple math—no pressure, no guessing, just real numbers:
- After Repair Value (ARV): What the home could sell for after it's fully renovated
➤ Example: $250,000 - Cost of Repairs (COR): What it will cost us to fix and update the home
➤ Example: $60,000 - Selling Costs: Things like real estate agent fees, closing costs, taxes, utilities
➤ Typically 10% of ARV = $25,000 - Minimum Profit Needed: To cover our time, risk, and overhead
➤ Example: $20,000
📦 Cash Offer Formula
👉 $250,000 (ARV)
− $60,000 (Repairs)
− $25,000 (Selling Costs)
− $20,000 (Minimum Profit)
💵 $145,000 Final Cash Offer
🏡 Selling Your Home: Cash Offer vs. Realtor Listing
Here’s a side-by-side comparison to help you decide what’s best for you:
| Feature | Selling to Us (Cash Buyer) | Selling with a Real Estate Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs | ✅ No Repairs Needed | 🔧 Must repair or offer credits to buyers |
| Cleaning/Showings | ✅ No Cleaning or Showings | 🧼 Staging, cleaning, and open houses required |
| Closing Time | ✅ Close in 10–20 Days | ⏳ Typically 60–90 days (or longer) |
| Payment | ✅ Cash in Your Pocket Fast | 💵 Payout delayed until after sale and fees |
| Agent Commissions | ❌ No agent commissions | 💸 6% commission (3% buyer + 3% seller agent) |
| Closing Costs | ❌ No closing costs | 💸 ~2% closing costs (title, escrow, taxes, etc.) |
| Buyer Demands | ❌ No buyer demands | 🔧 Buyer may ask for repairs or credits |
| Sale Guarantee | ✅ Guaranteed Sale | ❓ No guarantee your house will sell |
🔍 Real Numbers: What You Keep
Option 1: Cash Offer from Us
ARV = $250,000
Repairs = $60,000
Selling Costs = $25,000
Profit = $20,000
✅ Cash Offer to You = $145,000
✔️ No waiting, no showings, no surprises.
Option 2: Listing with a Realtor
Suggested List Price (As-Is): $165,000
Agent Fees (6%) = $9,900
Closing Costs (2%) = $3,300
Buyer Credits/Repairs (2%) = $3,300
💸 Estimated Total Costs: $16,500
✅ Your Take-Home = $148,500
⏳ After months on the market and open houses.
🤔 So What’s the Difference?
| Scenario | Your Take-Home | Time to Close | Work Involved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash Offer | $145,000 | 10–20 days | None – we handle it all |
| Realtor Sale | $148,500 (best case) | 60–90+ days | Cleaning, showings, buyer demands |
🔄 What If Repairs Are Less?
If we find the repair costs are lower, we’ll increase your offer!
Example:
If repairs are $35,000 instead of $60,000
👉 $250,000 (ARV)
− $35,000 (Repairs)
− $25,000 (Selling Costs)
− $20,000 (Profit)
💰 New Cash Offer = $170,000!
That’s $5,000 more than the current market value of your home and $20,000 more than what you'd likely get listing it with an agent.
💡 The Choice is Yours
Do you:
Wait 2–3 months, spend time and money fixing and showing the home, and maybe walk away with $148,500?
OR
Get $145,000 cash, with no fees, no repairs, no hassle, and close in 10–20 days?
Let’s talk. You’ve got nothing to lose.
Assessing Your Options for Selling Your House
Now that you're aware of your house’s current value in its present state, if you choose to list with an Agent, you can anticipate selling around that price. However, it’s essential to factor in the fees associated with listing, as discussed earlier.
Now, you face a decision – do you aim for $148.5K after listing with a realtor, enduring months of open houses, with no guarantee of a sale?
Or, do you opt for the $145K cash offer, ensuring money in your pocket within 10–20 days?
Decisions, decisions…
But What If…
What if the repair costs turn out to be lower than expected? Instead of $60,000, they amount to only $35,000!
Now, here’s where things get intriguing. If you guessed that we’d be able to offer you more, you’re absolutely right!
Let’s revisit how we formulate our offers:
ARV (After Repair Value) = $250,000
COR (Cost of Repairs) = $35,000
Selling Costs = $25,000 (10% of $250,000)
Our Minimum Profit = $20,000
In this scenario, we would be able to extend an offer of $170,000 to you!
That’s $5,000 ABOVE the current value of the house in its present state and a whopping $20,000 MORE than what you’d pocket if you were to list your house with an agent.
