How It Works

“So how do we come about the offer price on my property? Can you give an in-depth explanation beyond the basic steps?”

Of Course! Here’s How It’s Done:

Selling your house fast for a fair and fast offer is a big step! We understand that and want to disclose everything to you.

It’s in your best interest…

… to learn all you can about your choices before you make a decision.

Here are all the steps—from start to finish—about how the house buying process works. There is a lot of detail, but you will be an expert when you’re done. This knowledge gives you the power to make the best choice for you!

We want to be fully transparent and honestly believe that we are a “customer first” company that is a good fit for you when you decide to sell your house fast.

Getting A Fair and Fast Offer

“Is Selling My House Fast For Funds The Best Choice?”

Yes, it is when it’s in our best interest to give you the highest possible offer.

A lot of those “We Buy Junky Houses” companies will give you a lowball offer because they don’t try very hard. If you don’t like it—they just go to the next guy. That makes no sense to us. We take a lot of time to analyze your house and drive all over checking the local neighborhoods. If you don’t accept our offer—we have wasted our time and yours!

“And How Does That Work Exactly?“

Our fair and fast offer to purchase your house is built on what is called the “After Repair Value” of your property.

This simply means we start with what the value of your property will be AFTER we completely clean and fix it up when it’s “Showroom Ready”. We use that value to calculate your offer.

Everybody Wants The Answer To This Question…

“So How Much Will You Give Me for My House?”

It is THE all-important question-right? Well here’s a detailed answer for you, because we believe in being fully transparent when dealing with our clients. We hope you’ll take the time to read this because you will clearly understand exactly how we make our offers and most importantly—if our offer to buy your house is the best choice for you.

Let’s imagine you live next door to a neighbor who has a house that is identical to yours. It has the same number of bedrooms, the same number of bathrooms, and even has the same size yard. The big difference between the 2 houses is that over the years your neighbor has put in new kitchen cabinets with granite countertops. She also updated the bathrooms, put in hardwood floors, and a new roof and had everything inside repainted.

Now let’s imagine your neighbor decides to sell her house. She cleans everything up, gets all the clutter removed, repaints anything that looks old, and in general—gets the house what real estate agents like to call “Showroom Ready”. The house is in such good shape that all a new buyer has to do is move in their furniture and sheets—all the work and cleaning have been done.

So your neighbor hires a real estate agent. After 3 to 4 weeks of the agent bringing buyers through the house every day, your neighbor accepts an offer for $300,000. After another 6 to 8 weeks the buyers have a loan approved by their bank and the house sells to them for $300,000. Because of the pristine condition of that house, we now say that the After Repair Value of the house is $300,000.

Now What Do We Know?

We now know that if we make similar repairs and upgrades to your house like your neighbor did (AFTER we buy it from you, of course) — the After Repair Value (ARV) of your house would also be $300,000.

And So…

We know the ARV of your house ($300,000 in our example) and we’ve calculated how much it will cost for us to make repairs and upgrades. With those two numbers, we can make you a fair and fast offer that works for us. If you feel this offer also works for you —AWESOME! We have a ‘win-win” situation. We purchase your property and you get your funds at the closing.

And This Is So Important To You Because…

Our offer to you is based on the exact real estate market value numbers in your neighborhood, not on some “lowball” formula all those national “We Buy Houses” companies rely on to stay in business. This is why our fair and fast offer will always be higher!

Take the market value of the house (after we do our repairs/upgrades) and subtract the repair costs and our profit — that is equal to the dollar amount we offer you.

A Quick Summary of What We Know Now:

• We now know that the house next door sold for $300,000. This is the After Repair Value we talked about.

• We also know that in order for us to sell your house for $300,000 (the house after we buy it from you) we need to invest some money, work, and time to bring it into the same condition as your neighbor’s.

Why Is That?

Because we won’t be able to resell your house the way it is right now for $300,000. If you were a buyer would you want a house that is NOT updated with a new kitchen and bathroom and is NOT in move-in condition and it was the exact same price? It is obvious everyone would want to buy the one that is updated now and in move-in condition.

So, The Next Question Is…

“If the house will sell for $300,000 when it is fully updated and is “Showroom Ready”, how much will it sell for in it’s “as-is” condition?”

Let’s Walk Through The Process:

• Let’s say you contacted a real estate agent. They walk through the house with you, checking inside and out and getting a history of repairs and problems you might have had. After a day or two, they tell you that the house in its current condition can sell for $220,000.

• You have also contacted the friendliest, most cooperative, and awesome home buyers in all of California. (That’s Us!) If you haven’t contacted us yet, please go here – it only takes a few minutes. When we walk through we work out what changes need to be made in order for the house to be “Showroom Ready”.

• And we calculate that it will cost us about $60,000 for repairs and upgrades to get your house to look the same as your neighbor’s. That is our Cost of Repairs (COR).

• Finally, let’s estimate that our costs to resell the house after it’s been updated together with our minimum profit add up to $30,000. That is our Selling Costs & Profit.

As You Can See, No Lowball Offers and No Games.

We work by the numbers. We are simply adding all the numbers together. We always want to give you the highest offer we possibly can. Why? Because we want you to be happy with the offer so you will accept that offer and we can get busy working on our next project. A “Win for You and a Win for Us” situation!

Analyzing How Much Funds Will You Actually Make

We now know a real estate agent can sell your house for $220,000. But you will need to subtract the 6% agent fees of $13,200 from that amount. You also need to pay escrow costs (usually between $1,000 and $2,000). And of course, the state/county wants their cut also. In California, you’ll pay around $900. In the end, you would walk away from the closing with about $203,000. Of course, if you have a mortgage on the house, that amount has to be subtracted from this total also.

How Long Does It REALLY Take To Sell Your House With An Agent?

Let’s be very realistic. The California real estate market has been really tough lately, and agents will need to walk through your house with numerous buyers before someone makes you an offer. After 2-4 weeks (if we get an able buyer), you accept an offer. Your buyers always want a property inspection. That takes an additional 1-2 weeks. If the inspector finds anything wrong, the buyers may ask you to pay for the repairs, which may take another week. When that is completed, the buyers will get a loan from a bank. The bank needs to determine if the buyers’ credit rating and income is strong enough to qualify for a loan. If it turns out their credit isn’t so good — then you have to start all over and find a new buyer. If their credit is strong, the bank will then want an appraisal, title search and a host of other items before they agree to loan the money. This always takes at least 6-8 weeks. Banks hold all the money so they make all the rules—and they never rush this process.

So When It’s Time For You To Make The Decision…

Take the written, guaranteed sale from us in as little as 10-14 days for a sales price of $210,000…

OR

Maybe sell for a price of $220,000 and close in about four to five months.

Again, it is important to understand…

That we work by the numbers. There are no games, and no lowball offers. We are simply adding all the numbers together. We always want to give you the highest offer we possibly can because that means you are going to do business with us. It’s a “Win For You – Win For Us” offer!
