What is a Cash Home Buyer?

A cash home buyer is an investor that is interested in buying your house for cash without the need of a loan from a bank. Because the investor doesn't need a mortgage, there is no need for agents, inspections, repairs, appraisals etc... This is how and why the process can go so fast when you use a Cash Home Buyer. Eliminate the fluff and middlemen.

Cash Home Buyer vs. Local Agent

Which One is Right for Me?

Selling a house is a big deal! Which is exactly why you should always take the time to look at all of your options to see which is the best way to reach your goals.

A real estate agent will almost always be able to get you a higher "top line" sale price compared to a cash buyer, but that doesn't always mean there will be more money in your pocket - and selling a house through an agent can be a MAJOR headache.

What is After Repair Value? Great question!

After Repair Value (ARV) is what your home would be worth if HGTV came in and did a COMPLETE remodel to your home. Picture a whole construction crew coming in and putting in new granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, sinks, toilets, baths, showers.... you get the idea!

What are our expenses? Here are a few!

The Cost of Repairs: After a quick walkthrough of the home, we will be able to estimate what it will cost to get your home to the "After Repair Value" mentioned above. If your windows and bathrooms are all state of the art, these will be deducted from our estimated costs (meaning we can offer MORE money!)

Our Selling Costs: After we've done all the remodeling, we have to sell the houses ourselves (which isn't free for us either). We'll almost always sell a completely remodeled house on the market which involves paying our agent, paying the buyer's agent, and paying the bank their closing costs. After it's all said and done, we usually end up paying the agents and the banks about 10% of the final sale price.

Holding Costs: Depending on the situation of your home, remodeling the property can take several months to completely repair, remodel and sell on the market. The utilities, insurance, taxes and other miscellaneous charges can really add up - this is usually one of the big reasons our clients work with us, these costs can be a nightmare!

Profit: We'll shoot you straight - we aren't in business to lose money. Our goal is help you solve whatever issues you may have, and to make an honest living while doing it.

Our Formula: After Repair Value - Cost of Repairs - Selling Costs - Holding Costs - Our Profits = Your Offer

Let's say you live in a neighborhood that was built in the year 2004. The houses are all a little different, but by and large they are all about the same size with the same number of beds and baths. Let's also pretend like your neighbor was just on HGTV and they did a COMPLETE remodel of their home. We're talking a brand new roof, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, HVAC, appliances... the whole 9 yards.

After all of this work, they were able to sell the house for $300k. $300k would be your home's After Repair Value (ARV) because your neighbors house is the same size, built in the same year, is in the same neighborhood and has been fully upgraded with 100% of the bells and whistles.

So your neighbor's house sells for $300k at the HGTV level, and you speak to a real estate agent who estimates they can sell your house for $200k. Let's compare how the process would look selling your house to us, versus selling through a typical agent.

Keep reading to see the head to head comparison using these exact numbers working with an agent versus our team.
