it's Simple, Right?
The Offer:
We base our offers on what your house will be worth after we fix it up - that's how we can pay you the most cash possible while still making this work for our business.
Here's exactly how we calculate your offer:
[Your Offer] = [After Repair Value] - [Cost Of Repairs] - [Our Selling Costs] - [Our Minimum Profit]
This Is How We Calculate Our Cash Offers:
1
We Determine The After Repairs-Market Value Of Your House
After-Repairs Value (ARV): What your house would be worth if it were fully updated and renovated to today's standards - think fresh paint, new flooring, modern kitchen, the works. We base your cash offer on this higher value, not what it's worth as-is.
2
We Calculate The Cost of Repairs
Repair Costs: This is what we'll spend to fully renovate your house - new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paint, landscaping, everything needed to make it market-ready. Since we're investing our own money and time into these improvements, we factor this cost into your offer.
3
We Determine Our Selling Costs
Selling Costs: After we renovate your house, we'll list it with a real estate agent to get top dollar. This means we pay realtor commissions (usually 6%), closing costs, staging, marketing, and holding costs while it's on the market. We factor these expenses into your cash offer.
4
We Take Out Our Profits
Our Profit: We're running a business, which means we need to make a reasonable profit to keep buying houses and paying our contractors, crews, and overhead costs. We've found the sweet spot - fair profit for us, maximum cash for you. If our offers weren't competitive, homeowners wouldn't choose us.
The calculation is simple, Here's the breakdown:
Your Cash Offer = What Your House Will Be Worth Fully Renovated - Our Renovation Costs - Our Profit

Our experience with Semi Homes was exceptional; their professionalism and dedication made our home buying process smooth and enjoyable. Excellent service!

The Win-Win Principle Of Cash Offers
1
Imagine for a moment that you have a house in complete disrepair, and therefore you can't sell it for much, (in fact, you probably wouldn't even be able to list it as banks will not loan against houses in severe disrepair).

2
Now, let's say that the house in its current condition is worth $450K (so the "as-is" value is $450,000), but let's say that if you were to put $100K into the house, you would be able to sell it for $660K. (Yes this is actually the same house.)
Sadly you either don't have the funds or the will, time, or energy to deal with contractors, repairs, and all the stress that comes with it.

3
Cash buyers like us could come in and offer you $490K for your home, which is $40K MORE than the current value of your house. For us, this works because, if your house is worth $450K, but we offer you $490K for your house and we put in $100K making the house worth $660K, means we then spend $590K and we made $70K netting us a profit (let's ignore all other costs and taxes for the sake of simplicity) of $20K.
You get more than what your house is currently worth, we make our minimum profit, and everyone walks away happy. The fine print here is that this situation doesn't always occur, but that is why you fill in the form, so we can see what options are available to you so you can still walk away with a win.
