How we calculate cash offers

We evaluate the property, its likely resale market, and the costs and risks we would take on as the buyer. Compare our offer with the likely net proceeds—not only the asking price—of your other selling options.

Factors we consider

1. Location and comparable sales

Recent nearby sales and current competition, adjusted for meaningful differences in size, layout, age, and features.

2. Current condition

Visible and reported condition, deferred maintenance, major systems, safety issues, cleanout needs, and the uncertainty of buying as-is.

3. Repair and preparation costs

The work reasonably needed to make the property safe, functional, and suitable for its likely next use.

4. Holding and transaction costs

Insurance, utilities, taxes, financing, title work, closing expenses, maintenance, and the time required to complete and resell a project.

5. Risk and required margin

The buyer assumes the risk that repairs cost more, the market changes, or resale takes longer. An offer must leave room for that risk and a return.

Compare your options

A traditional listing may produce a higher gross price, especially for a market-ready home. Compare repairs, preparation, commissions, concessions, carrying costs, timeline, privacy, and certainty.
