“Are You Just Going to Lowball Me? Here’s How I Actually Make My Cash Offers”

Let’s be real — when someone hears “We buy houses for cash,” the first thing they think is:
“You’re just going to lowball me.”

I get it. You’ve probably seen shady signs on street corners and sketchy ads online. Not all investors operate with integrity. But here’s the difference with me: I’m a licensed Realtor, I’ve been working in Colorado Springs for over 20 years, and I actually explain how my offers work.

So let me break it down for you — no games, no fluff.

💵 How I Calculate My Offers

Every home is different, but here’s the basic formula:

After Repair Value (ARV)
– Estimated Repair Costs
– Selling & Holding Costs
– Profit Margin
= Cash Offer

I start by analyzing what your home would be worth after it’s fully renovated (ARV). Then I subtract realistic repair costs, the expenses I’ll incur selling the home, and a profit margin that makes the risk worthwhile.

🔍 And here’s the key — I’ll walk you through those numbers. I want you to understand how we get there.

❓What If I Can Get More Listing It?

Great — then I’ll help you do that.

I always give sellers all their options:

• Cash offer from me (as-is, fast, no repairs or clean-up)
  
• Short sale if you owe more than it’s worth
  
• Full retail listing through Inside Edge if it makes sense for your timeline and condition
  

I’m not here to pressure you — I’m here to help you make the best decision for you. If that means I buy your house, great. If not, I’ll still be a resource you can trust.

🤝 Let’s Be Straight With Each Other

If your home needs a lot of work, has major issues, or you’re in a time crunch — a cash offer may be your best play. But it should be fair, honest, and explained clearly. That’s what I do. Every time.
