You’ve probably seen plenty of signs around town that say “we buy houses” or you’ve gotten something in the mail from a company that wants to buy your property from you. They all say the same thing – “we buy houses for cash” or “sell your house fast in any condition.” But it can be hard to if they’ll do what they say they’ll do. It can even more confusing if you don’t know how they work.

That’s why we want to provide you with all the information you need in order to make the best decision for yourself, especially if that’s selling your house for cash.


How do you figure out an offer price to buy my property?

We make our cash offers based on these four criteria


how we make a cash offer 1

After Repair Value “ARV” of the Property

ARV is the value of your house or property after it has been renovated or redone. You arrive at an ARV by calculating local comparable sales that have sold fully renovated in the general area.

Renovation Cost (Cost of Repairs We Will Make)

After we purchase a house, we usually need to make repairs and upgrades in order to improve its market value and bring it up to code. These kinds of upgrades range from repainting the house to replacing the bathroom tile to adding a back porch to redoing the landscaping, and more.

Our Selling Costs

When the property is ready to be sold again, we know that certain costs are going to come with that process. Remember, you will never have to pay any commissions or fees when you’re selling your house to us. That said, we will almost certainly have to pay some of those costs, including taxes, insurance, HOA fees, and more. So, we need to consider those costs when we make our offer.

Our Minimum Profit

Since we’re a business and we do this to support our employees and families, we have to consider potential profits whenever we buy a house for cash. That said, we want to make sure it’s clear that we try our best to keep our profit to a minimum because we want to make sure we pay you we are paying you as much as we can for your house or property.



There you have it! Now you know how we calculate cash offers! Our goal is to always try to make you the best offer possible while also making sure we can take care of our team. Regardless of the housing situation that you’re in, we will promise to make the best offer we can for you and your family. There’s a reason most sellers we work with decide to do so instead of working with a real estate agent because of our simple process and the quality of our cash offer. Just take a look at our reviews and testimonials to see what clients and others are saying about working with us.


Just ask any of the “companies that buy houses” and they will tell you the closing process takes around 2-4 weeks, depending on your unique situation. Of course, that assumes you want to close immediately, though you have the option to move slower if you prefer it. However, regardless of when you want to close on your house, we can work with you to figure out the best day that makes sense for you. Let’s take a look at the step-by-step rundown of the closing process as it happens most often.

Once you decide you want to accept our offer and sell your house for cash, we will send the purchase agreement as well as other required paperwork to our local title company. We will also deposit the earnest money. Next, someone from our team will touch base to provide you with all the information you need and let you know if there’s anything else the title company requires. The title company will then order a title and lien search. While that’s happening, we’ll schedule an inspection date that can be done either in-person or virtually.

Timeframe: 24-72 Hours


Once we have come to an agreement, we need to make sure that we can ensure that title of the house is transfered properly – which is typically a seamless process. If the title company is made aware of any title or lien issues, they’ll ask for additional information so that they can remedy the problems. Once that’s done, the title is likely to be clear and the sale will be able to move forward.

Timeframe: 1-2 Weeks


Once Step 1 and Step 2 are done, it’s time for us to schedule the closing and get you paid in cash! We can close at the title company or they can send a mobile notary to you at a specific date, whatever feels right for you. Once all of the documents are signed, we’ll wire money to your bank account or we can cut you a check from the title company. Again, it’s entirely up to you. This usually happens the same day that you sign the documents, though it is possible that it can take one business day in some rare instances.

Timeframe: 1-7 days


We can understand that listing your house with a Realtor or real estate agent feels like the best option when selling your house. And to be fair, if we get the sense that listing your house with a real estate agent would earn a better outcome for you, we will certainly let you know that. We want to make sure you get what you need. That said, we do want to highlight some benefits and concerns that come with listing a Realtor compared to when you sell your house for cash to us.
