We know that selling a house for cash to a company like ours is a big decision. The questions below are common things we get asked about the process and Cedar Cash Home Buyers.
Some Questions You May Still Have About Selling Your Home for Cash:
Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We are house flippers and love rental properties. we also have a large network of other inventors that like to work with us on our deals so we can always make something work to help you out!
We always want to pay you what your house qualifies for! First, we look at comparable properties that have recently sold in your area, after that we know what the house will be worth after the repairs also known as the after-repair value (ARV). Once we have the ARV, we need to figure out what repairs are needed to make the property ready to rent or resell. After we have all the information, we do our math to factor in all cost and our profit margin, we come up with our max allowable offer!
Our process is very simple. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses recently sold in the area recently. Taking the many pieces of information into consideration, we come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you, too.
NO! We’re not real estate agents. Were investors! we buy houses for our own investment properties meaning that no one will be taking money away from you!
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to potential buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 7-13 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 6% of the sale price of your house. If it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 7 to 13 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different. We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company buys the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can make a decision to buy your house the same day. Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.
There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We’ll let you decide what’s right for you. If a cash offer doesn’t fit your needs we can find something that does!
You know we offer cash – but you might be wondering how we come up with the amount! We want you to be highly educated on this process to make the most informed decision. What follows next is a detailed explanation in our own words of how the home-buying process works from beginning to end. Please take the time to read this page as it WILL make you an expert in the topic.
How Do You Come Up With Your Offer?
All you math lovers out there, will appreciate this section. We value honesty and transparency. We have no issues sharing with you how exactly we formulate our offers.
(After Repair Value) – (Repairs) – (Selling Cost) – (Profit) = Your Offer
But in order for you to understand this we need to define some terms:
- After Repair Value
- The amount your home is worth after all necessary repairs are made.
- Repairs
- Many homes will need certain repairs to make them ready to sell.
- Your Offer
- After we subtract all of the expenses, then this is what we are able to offer!
- Selling Cost
- The cost for us to sell the property at a later date or refinance for a rental.
- Market Value
- The current as-is value if you were to sell the house to a retail buyer.
- Profit
- We are a business and do need to make a profit for us to stay in business.
Here’s a Sample Offer:
After Repair Value = $300,000
Current “As-Is” Market Value = $150,000
Repair Cost = $50,000
Selling Cost = $30,000
Our Minimum Profit = $20,000
Your Offer = $300k – $150k – $50k – $30k = $200k
So, in this scenario the seller would be getting a cash offer of $200,000 directly to them!
Now On To The Details About A Cash Offer for Your House!
Selling your home could be an extremely overwhelming task, especially when you have things going on that make you need to sell fast. Being able to sell your house for cash means it can happen fast! This outline will walk you through step by step the process of selling your house for cash.
Find A Cash Home Buyer
This is actually extremely simple. The most common way is to search for: We buy houses [your city and state], Sell my house fast [your city and state], or Cash home buyers [your city and state]. You could also call the “We buy houses” signs on the side of the road. Sometimes you may have gotten a letter in the mail in regard to purchasing your home.
Do Your Own Homework
After finding a few cash buyers, do some research on them. Most times people think that they can make money in real estate easily and just throw up a random website and don’t put much effort into it. If someone is not willing to put the work into their own business, they will likely now put much effort into your real estate deal. Look at their business page. Look and see if they have social media. If they do not have any of these things, then they are likely not a reputable company.
Submit Your Information
After you have found a reputable house buyer and feel like they are the perfect person for you to work with, submit your information to them. Usually, the things needed are a reliable way to contact you, the address for the property you would like to sell, and the information about that property (bedroom, bathroom, square footage, approximate age, any repairs needed).
Schedule An Appointment To Show The House
Typically, after submitting your information to the cash buyer, they will reach out to you. During the walk-through be sure to point out any problems there may or may not be with the house. If you have recently had any major items replaced be sure to let them know so you can get a higher offer. There should never be any charge for this walk through. Once the Cash Buyer sees everything, they will give you an offer. Try to have an attorney or family member look over the contract if you’re unsure.
Get Your Cash!
After the walk through, and the cash offer is accepted by you, you will schedule a closing date that is convenient for you. At the closing table you will receive a check from the proceeds of selling your home. The buyer will cover all closing cost and you will walk away with a check. It really is that simple.
