How We Calculate Your Cash Offer
No mystery numbers. Every offer we make starts from the same four things, and we walk you through the math before you decide anything.
- Home value What similar homes near you in Philadelphia sell for once fixed up.
- Repairs What it costs to bring your house up to market condition.
- Buying & holding costs Closing costs, taxes, insurance and the cost to resell.
- Our margin A fair profit for the work and risk we take on.
- Your cash offer Paid to you at closing. No commissions or fees taken out.
Listing takes months.
Selling to us takes 7 days.
A typical listing means getting the house ready, weeks of showings while it sits on the market, then waiting on the buyer’s loan to close. Selling for cash skips all of it.
About 4 months, start to closing
- Getting it ready30 days
- On the market55 days
- Buyer’s loan to closing35 days
* A listing usually brings a higher sales price. However, commissions, repairs, closing costs and months of payments all come out of it.
Close on the date you choose
- No showings or open houses
- No repairs or cleaning
- No waiting on a buyer’s loan
* A cash offer is usually below full retail price. However, nothing comes out of your pocket: no commissions, no repairs, no waiting and no uncertainty.
Dial marks are months

A cash offer: the pros and cons
A cash sale is a good fit for many homeowners in Philadelphia, though not for everyone. You trade part of the top price for speed, certainty and a sale without repairs, showings or fees. Here are both sides, so you can decide what works best for you. If listing would leave you with more money, we will tell you.
+What you get
- A closing date you choose
Often two to three weeks from now, or later if you need time. No buyer to find, no loan or appraisal to wait on.
- No repairs, no clean-out
Leave the house as it is, with whatever you do not want to take. The repairs are priced in, so you never pay a contractor.
- No agent commission
On a $300,000 house a 5-6% commission is $15,000 to $18,000. We also pay the usual closing costs.
- Nothing that can fall through
There is no mortgage approval or appraisal that can sink the sale a week before closing.
- Your privacy
No showings, no open houses and no strangers walking through your home on a Saturday.
−What to weigh
- Less than full retail price
You give up part of the top price in exchange for speed and certainty. We show you exactly how we got to our number.
- Listing can pay more
If the house is in good shape and you can wait a few months, the open market often nets more, even after fees. We will tell you when that is you.
- Check who you sell to
Some cash buyers cannot actually close. Ask for proof of funds, a closing at a title company or attorney, and reviews from real sellers.
the house needs work, you are up against a date such as a foreclosure, probate or a move, you inherited it, it has tenants, or you simply want it done without months of showings.
the house is updated and shows well, you can wait three months or more, and showings, inspections and a buyer’s loan approval do not bother you.
Is a cash sale right for you, or should you list?
Six quick questions. There is no wrong answer.
- Does the house need repairs you would rather not pay for or manage?
- Do you need to sell by a certain date, or within the next month or two?
- Would showings be hard: tenants, belongings, privacy, or you live out of town?
- Is there a complication such as probate, a divorce, a foreclosure, liens or back taxes?
- Could you comfortably keep paying the mortgage, taxes and utilities for three months or more?
- Does the highest possible price matter more to you than speed and certainty?

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions sellers ask us most.
How do you calculate your offer?
We start with what your house would be worth after repairs, based on recent sales near you, then subtract the cost of repairs, the costs of buying, holding and reselling, and a fair margin. We walk you through those numbers before you decide.
Do I have to pay any fees or commissions?
No. There are no agent commissions and no fees, and we pay the normal closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you receive at closing, less anything you owe on the house, such as a mortgage or liens.
How fast can you close?
We can usually close in as little as 7 to 14 days once the title is clear. If you need more time to move, we can close on a later date that works for you.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition. Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle the clean-out.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
No. Requesting an offer is free and there is no obligation. If it does not work for you, you simply say no.
Are you real estate agents?
No. We are local investors who buy houses directly. We do not list your house or charge a commission, and we tell you up front that we buy to repair and resell or rent.
Can you buy a house with liens, back taxes or a foreclosure notice?
Often, yes. Liens and back taxes are usually paid off from the sale at closing, and moving quickly can help if you are facing foreclosure. Every situation is different, so the sooner we talk, the more options you have.
What if the house is inherited or in probate?
We buy inherited houses regularly, including during probate. We can work with the executor and the attorney handling the estate, and family members do not have to clean out the house first.
Can you buy a rental with tenants still living in it?
Yes. We can buy rental houses with tenants in place, so you do not have to deal with evictions, turnover or repairs between tenants.
Will you share or sell my information?
No. We use your information only to talk with you about your house and never sell it to anyone.
