Where the number actually comes from
The formula is three lines long and you get all three in writing: the comparable sales we used, the repair estimate we priced from, and our margin. What makes it checkable is that each line points at something outside our opinion. The comps are recorded sales you can look up. The repair figure is built from what the work actually costs in North Carolina right now. The margin is a number you can judge for yourself. Nothing else is hidden inside it.
We are based in Raleigh and buy houses in the states listed on our locations page. We price each house from recorded local sales and from what you tell us about its condition on the phone, so mention the roof, the systems and anything you know needs work. That is what keeps the number honest in both directions.
Our first offer is our real offer
Some buyers quote high today so they can renegotiate lower at closing. Here is how to protect yourself: ask for the price-hold language in writing before you sign anything, with anyone.
Our first offer is our real offer, not bait to get your signature. What can change a price after signing is set out in the purchase agreement, and we will read that section with you before you sign. No "inspection surprises" that shave thousands off the number a week before you close.
That is why we would rather spend an extra hour explaining the math than an extra week talking you into a signature.
Compare it. Seriously, compare it
We encourage you to compare our offer to any other buyer's. If ours is not fair, do not accept it. That is not a sales line, it is how we would want to be treated.
If you have already received a cash offer from another North Carolina buyer, show it to us before you accept. If we can do better we will tell you; if we cannot, we will say so. And if a traditional listing is genuinely the better fit for your situation, we will tell you that honestly and point you to an agent instead.
