How We Calculate Our Cash Offer

How We Calculate Our Cash Offer | Sell My San Antonio House
Speaker 1:
I get asked all the time, “How do you decide on the cash offer price for my home?” Well, there’s a lot of things that go into it, but just to give you an idea of the big picture of the process, how we look at things, how we’ll decide on that cash offer that we present, here’s how we start.

First, we’re going to look at all the properties that have sold in your neighborhood that will be really comparable to yours if it was all fixed up and in great condition. That will give us an idea of what the market would pay for our property such as yours, or very similar to yours if we did any repairs that were needed, had it looking great, and were to sell it on the open market.

Then we’re going to look at your particular property, any repairs that may be needed or any updates that may need to be done. Almost every property needs some kind of repair or update or TLC. There are perfect properties out there. They’re just a little more rare. We’ll look at the major things. We’ll also look at the minor things. We’re going to factor in all those costs of what we’ll have to put into the property after we purchase it from you. When we present our offers, they’re going to be all cash and us paying all closing costs, so we know that we’re going to save you on your traditional closing costs and we know we’re going to save you having to pay a realtor for the buyer side and the seller side. That amount will also factor in with your cash offer.

Of course, we are a business. Everyone knows that. It’s never been a surprise to anyone, so we have to factor in some margin for profit so that we can continue to be a business in the future. So what we’ll do, we’ll start with that first number. We’ll subtract out repairs. We’ll subtract out things like closing costs, commission, things that you’re not having to pay. We’ll factor in a little bit for the profit, and then we’ll be able to present you a cash offer on your terms of what you would get [inaudible 00:01:44] to sell the house to us and move forward with our company.

We don’t change our offer based on your personal situation, if you’re in stress or you’re in a hurry, that’s not the way that we want to run our business. We’ll base it on the numbers of how much we can pay for the property, and hopefully that works for you so that we can do a deal and everybody gets to move forward. But no matter what situation is, we’re going to base it on the repaired value of your house and subtract from there so that we can present you our best cash offer.

Selling a home quickly in San Antonio isn’t always as easy as it sounds. At Sell My San Antonio House, we’ve seen plenty of homeowners start with high hopes, only to hit a few roadblocks along the way. One of the biggest challenges is getting the price right. In the San Antonio market, just like anywhere else, the price you set can either bring in buyers or scare them off. Price it too high, and you might not see much interest. Price it too low, and you could end up shortchanging yourself. Striking that perfect balance is crucial.

Competition is another big hurdle here in San Antonio. If there are lots of similar homes up for sale at the same time, your property might have a tough time standing out. Buyers will have plenty of choices, and you could lose them to another seller. The current state of the San Antonio real estate market also plays a major role. In a seller’s market, where homes are in high demand, selling quickly is usually easier. But if it’s a buyer’s market, with too many homes and not enough buyers, you’ll need to step up your game.

The condition of your home, how well you stage it, and how you market it all play a big part too. If your home needs work or doesn’t show well, it’s likely going to take longer to sell. And even when the offers start rolling in, they might not be exactly what you were hoping for. At Sell My San Antonio House, we know how frustrating this process can be, and we’re here to help you navigate these challenges.

I often get asked, “How do you decide on the cash offer price for my home?” While there are many factors involved, I want to give you an overview of our process and how we arrive at the cash offer we present to you.

Step 1: Evaluating Comparable Properties

The first thing we do is look at the properties that have recently sold in your neighborhood, particularly those that are similar to yours if it were fully repaired and in excellent condition. This gives us an idea of what the market would be willing to pay for a property like yours if we made any necessary repairs and put it up for sale on the open market.

Step 2: Assessing Your Property’s Condition

Next, we take a close look at your specific property to identify any repairs or updates that may be needed. Almost every property needs some level of repair or TLC. Perfect properties do exist, but they are quite rare. We’ll assess both major and minor issues and factor in the costs of addressing these after we purchase the property from you.

Step 3: Considering Closing Costs and Savings

cash offer takes in consideration closing cost and savings

When we present our offers, they are all cash and include us covering all closing costs. This means you’ll save on traditional closing costs, and you won’t have to pay realtor fees for both the buyer’s and seller’s sides. These savings are factored into your cash offer, ensuring that you get the most value.

Step 4: Factoring in Profit Margins

Of course, we are a business, and to continue operating, we need to factor in a margin for profit. We start with the initial market value, subtract the costs of repairs, closing costs, and commissions (which you won’t have to pay), and then factor in a small margin for profit. This process allows us to present you with a fair cash offer that reflects what you would receive if you decided to sell your house to us.

Traditional Selling vs. Selling Directly for Cash: What You Need to Know

When you’re looking to sell your home in San Antonio, the approach you choose can make all the difference. Many homeowners go the traditional route with real estate agents who help with listing the property, managing showings, and negotiating offers. While this method has worked for years, more people are starting to explore the option of selling directly to cash buyers, like us at Sell My San Antonio House. Let’s break down why this option might be a better fit for you.

traditional selling vs. selling directly for cash

Speed and Convenience

One of the most compelling reasons to sell to a cash buyer is the speed. Typically, selling your home the traditional way can stretch out over several months. You wait for the right buyer, deal with offers, and hope that financing doesn’t hold things up. On the other hand, when selling to a cash buyer, like Sell My San Antonio House, the process can wrap up in just a few days. This quick turnaround can be crucial if you’re dealing with a situation that requires a fast sale, like a looming foreclosure or a sudden need to relocate.

no fees with our cash offer

Avoiding Fees and Commissions

When you sell through an agent, you’re likely going to pay a hefty commission, not to mention other fees that can eat into your profit. With a cash sale, especially with us at Sell My San Antonio House, there are no commissions or hidden costs. The offer we make is what you’ll get, making it easier to plan your next steps without worrying about unexpected deductions.

Simplified Selling Process

Traditional home selling can be a hassle. You might need to stage your home for showings, make repairs, or keep everything in perfect shape for weeks or months on end. Cash buyers simplify things significantly. At Sell My San Antonio House, we buy properties as-is, so you don’t have to worry about fixing anything up or dealing with picky buyers. This straightforward process lets you move on more quickly without the usual headaches.

Certainty of Sale

One of the biggest frustrations with traditional sales is the uncertainty. Even after accepting an offer, the deal can fall through if the buyer can’t secure financing or if inspections uncover issues. Cash buyers provide a much more reliable sale. Since we don’t rely on bank loans, once we make an offer, you can feel confident that the deal will close. This certainty can bring peace of mind, especially if you’re in a situation where time is of the essence.

flexible terms and conditions

Flexible Terms and Conditions

Cash buyers often offer more flexibility than traditional buyers. Whether you need a quick closing or have specific conditions you want to meet, Sell My San Antonio House can work with you to find a solution that fits your needs. This flexibility can be especially valuable if you have unique circumstances, like needing extra time to move out or wanting to include certain items in the sale.

Privacy and Confidentiality

Selling your home through traditional methods often means having a lot of people walk through your property during open houses or showings. This can feel intrusive, especially if you value your privacy. Selling directly to a cash buyer offers a more discreet alternative. At Sell My San Antonio House, we handle transactions privately, without the need for public listings or frequent showings, making the process less stressful and more comfortable.

Our Commitment to Fairness

It’s important to note that we don’t change our offer based on your personal situation, whether you’re under stress or in a hurry. That’s not how we run our business. Our offers are based solely on the numbers and the market value of your property after repairs. We hope that this approach works for you so that we can make a deal that benefits everyone involved. Regardless of your situation, you can trust that our offer is grounded in the real, repaired value of your home.
