Simple, but not careless
How a BetterOfferRE cash offer works.
1. Tell us about the property
Send the address, your phone number, and anything obvious about condition or timing. You do not need repairs, photos, or a cleaned-out house to start.
2. We review the numbers
We weigh market value, likely repairs, closing costs (which we pay), holding costs, and your timeline. The point is a number that can actually close.
3. You get a clear option
If a cash offer fits, you get the terms in plain language within 24 hours, and you can close in as little as 7 days. There is no obligation to accept.
Start with the address
Now that you know how the process works, send the property address and the best way to reach you. We will review it and explain how we arrived at any number we give you. No obligation.
Offer math
How we calculate a cash offer
Every cash offer starts in the same place: what the house would be worth once it is repaired and resold, minus what it costs to get it there. Here is the arithmetic. There is nothing clever in it.
- After-repair value. What the property would realistically sell for on the open market, in good condition, in its actual neighborhood. This comes from recent nearby sales, not an estimate from a website.
- Minus repairs and cleanout. Roof, HVAC, foundation, electrical, flooring, plus removing whatever is left behind. This is usually the largest single number and the one sellers are most often surprised by.
- Minus holding and resale costs. Taxes, insurance, utilities and financing while the work happens, then the cost of selling it again afterward.
- Minus the risk of the project. Repairs run over, markets move, and the house has to sell again at the end. That risk transfers from you to us, and it has to be worth carrying — if there is nothing left after the first three lines, there is no deal here, and we will tell you that instead of wasting your time.
