How Our Offer Works

If you choose to sell your Chicago home to us, we’ll calculate the cash offer based on its After-Repair Value (ARV).

This ensures we provide a fair and transparent offer while allowing us to account for a reasonable profit after renovations.

A Step-By-Step Calculation

On How To Sell Your House in Chicago

Step 1

We Determine The After Repairs-Market Value Of Your House

Your offer is determined using the After-Repair Value (ARV), which represents what your house would be worth after renovations, based on current market trends.

Step 2

Calculating the Cost of Repairs

This represents the estimated cost of renovating your home (if you choose to sell to us) to make it market-ready and visually appealing, ensuring it stands out to potential buyers.

Step 3

Determining Selling Costs

This includes all the costs involved in selling a property.

While we buy houses directly from homeowners without using agents, we need to ensure the property can be sold at top value after repairs.

To do this, we typically list the home with an agent and cover expenses such as closing costs, agent commissions, and taxes. These costs are factored into our cash offer to ensure a fair and transparent process.

Step 4

We Take Our Minimum Profit

We are a business, and like any business, we need to cover overhead costs, pay our contractors, and ensure a modest profit.

However, our profits are always fair and reasonable, as our priority is to provide the highest possible offers to homeowners.

After all, offering anything less wouldn’t work—we rely on fair deals to keep our business thriving and our customers satisfied!

Simply put, it all boils down to this simple concept:

Your offer will reflect the market value of your house after repairs, minus the costs associated with selling it quickly, ensuring you receive the highest and fairest price possible.
