What affects the price

When we look at your property, the offer depends on what it takes to get the home market-ready. We consider the current condition of your roof, plumbing, and electrical systems, along with any necessary cosmetic updates like flooring or paint. We also factor in local neighborhood trends and the costs involved in holding the property while we renovate. We take the guesswork out of the process, and exact pricing is confirmed free on the call.

About this service

There are no upfront fees to work with a direct buyer, though the offer you receive is based on the home's condition, current market value, and repair needs. Investors typically calculate their offer by estimating the post-repair value minus the cost of renovations and holding expenses. While offers vary significantly, they are typically lower than retail market prices because you save on agent commissions and repair costs. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
