Behind the Offer: How We Calculate a Fair Cash Price

When you contact Results House Buyers, one of the first questions you probably ask is:

“How do you come up with the cash offer for my house?”

It’s a fair question — and our goal is full transparency. Unlike traditional buyers or agents, we base every offer on data, condition, and fairness — not guesswork. Here’s how the process works behind the scenes.


Step 1: We Research Your Property’s Market Value

First, we analyze the current market conditions and recent comparable sales (known as “comps”) in your neighborhood.

We look at:

  • Size and square footage of your home
  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
  • Year built and lot size
  • Sales prices of similar nearby properties in the last 90 days

This gives us a clear picture of your home’s as-is market value.


Step 2: We Assess the Property’s Condition

Next, we evaluate the home’s physical condition. Whether it’s move-in ready or needs extensive repairs, we factor in the true cost of renovations, upgrades, and maintenance.

Our team carefully estimates:

  • Roof, foundation, plumbing, and electrical condition
  • Cosmetic updates like flooring, paint, and fixtures
  • Overall repair budget needed to reach resale standards

We handle all repairs after purchase — so you don’t have to.


Step 3: We Calculate the After-Repair Value (ARV)

The After-Repair Value is the price your home could sell for once it’s fully renovated and in top condition.

Using ARV, we apply a simple formula:

Fair Cash Offer = ARV − Repair Costs − Holding Costs − Selling Expenses − Profit Margin

This ensures our offers remain fair, transparent, and profitable, while giving you a fast, stress-free sale.


Step 4: We Factor in Selling and Holding Costs

Traditional real estate sales come with commissions, closing costs, and months of waiting.
When we buy directly, you skip all of that — but we still absorb those expenses ourselves, including:

  • Agent commissions (typically 6%)
  • Title, escrow, and closing fees
  • Taxes, insurance, and utilities during the renovation period

These costs are subtracted from the ARV to create a fair, balanced offer.


Step 5: We Deliver a Transparent Offer — No Lowballing

Once all numbers are reviewed, we present you with a no-obligation, written offer.
We’ll clearly explain:

  • How we arrived at that figure
  • What repairs or adjustments we included
  • When you can close — often in as little as 7 days

No pressure. No hidden fees. Just a fair price based on facts.
