You don’t need to worry about fixing anything or repeatedly preparing your home for showings. When you work with HQ Home Buyers, you can sell your house as it is: without repairs, cleaning, or the stress of making your home “market-ready” over and over again.
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed.
Is it a complete fixer? Great! We love projects.
Let us save you time and put more money in your pocket.
We’re Here To Help Tampa Homeowners
We understand that selling your home is a major decision, and choosing the right selling strategy can feel overwhelming. With so many options available, it can be challenging to determine which approach is best for your needs. Realtors may make promises they cannot deliver on, friends may recommend strategies that do not suit your situation, the media may provide misleading information, and buyers may submit offers without even viewing your property. With so much conflicting advice and uncertainty, the home-selling process can quickly become stressful, confusing, and difficult to navigate.
We Make Our Offers Based On The After Repair Value
To determine your cash offer, we conduct a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) of your property. This detailed assessment helps us estimate your home’s potential market value after all necessary repairs and improvements are completed and the property is in turnkey condition. Our analysis considers key factors such as current real estate market trends, local economic conditions, property features, and recent comparable home sales in your area to provide an accurate and reliable estimate of your home’s after-repair value.
Once we determine the After Repair Value (ARV) of your property, we subtract the costs associated with purchasing, renovating, and reselling the home. While you will not have to pay typical selling expenses when you sell your property directly to us, we still incur these costs when we eventually resell the property. These expenses may include title fees, real estate commissions, transfer taxes, holding costs, and other related costs. We then estimate and deduct the cost of necessary repairs and improvements needed to bring the property up to a high-quality, HGTV-inspired standard. Finally, we deduct our minimum profit margin to determine a fair, competitive cash offer for your home.
Your Offer:
Below is a visual breakdown of how we calculate your cash offer. When we present an offer, we want you to understand exactly how we arrived at the price. No secrets, no games, and no hidden fees. Just a transparent, straightforward offer with clear terms and honest pricing.
[Your Offer] = [After Repair Value] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Repair Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]
This is the formula we use to make your offer along with an explanation of how we calculate each figure.
After Repair Value (ARV): This is the value of your house if it were fixed up to HGTV condition.
Repair Costs: These costs will be for fixing/updating the house AFTER we purchase it from you.
Selling Costs: These are costs we incur as a cash home buyer, including but not limited to title fees, commissions, transfer taxes, and other related expenses. These costs typically total approximately 12.5% of the property’s After Repair Value (ARV). (Our selling costs = 12.5% x ARV)
Our Minimum Profit: This is a business, and it’s how we make a living. While we enjoy helping homeowners, we need to earn a reasonable profit to continue providing our services. Without a profit margin, we would not be able to operate or make cash offers.
That’s all there is to it. Just simple, straightforward math. If you have questions about how we arrive at your cash offer, feel free to reach out and ask. We want you to understand every step of the process and feel confident in your decision. If needed, we’ll even bring out a whiteboard and walk you through the numbers.
How Our Process Works In More Detail
Step 1: We confirm a few key details about your property to ensure the information we have is accurate and up to date. While most of the details are available through public records, property modifications may change factors such as lot size or leasable square footage without those updates appearing in official records. We verify these details with you to ensure everyone has accurate information and is on the same page.
Step 2: We schedule a convenient time to meet you at your property. We believe in doing business the right way, so we prefer to meet in person, introduce ourselves, and show you that we are a real and trustworthy team. We also assess the property’s current condition and identify any repairs or improvements that may be needed. We respect your time and will work around your schedule. While some property owners prefer that we inspect the home on our own, we have found that an on-site inspection often raises important questions that only the homeowner can answer. That’s why we prefer to conduct the inspection with you whenever possible.
Step 3: Let us know when you would like to close. Once we agree on the price and terms, we’ll schedule the closing with a local title company. From there, we’ll handle the details and take care of the paperwork, making the home-selling process simple, straightforward, and stress-free.
