The Actual Math Behind Your Offer

How Do I Sell My House in Maryland for Cash?

No agents, no banks, no black-box number — here’s exactly how we calculate what we offer, and how we make sure it’s the number we actually close at.

Most cash-buyer sites tell you they’ll give you a “fair offer” without explaining what that means. This page shows you the real formula, a worked example with real numbers, and how to make sure any offer — ours or anyone else’s — doesn’t get quietly lowered after you’ve signed.

How We Calculate Your Cash Offer

Your Offer = ARV − Repair Costs − Selling Costs − Our Minimum ROI

1. After-Repair Value (ARV). The projected market value of your home once renovations are complete and it’s listed for sale — based on recent sales of comparable properties in your area, not a guess.

2. Repair Costs. Our estimate of what it costs to bring the house up to current market standards after purchase. Selling to us means you skip these costs and the hassle of managing repairs yourself.

3. Selling Costs. Agent fees, closing costs, taxes, and holding costs a traditional resale would incur — typically around 10% of ARV. Selling directly to us means you avoid these entirely.

4. Our Minimum ROI. The margin that keeps the business running. We keep this deliberately thin — our model is built on doing many transactions with modest margins, not a few high-profit deals.

How Do I Know You Won’t Lower the Offer Later?

The real risk with cash buyers usually isn’t a scam website — it’s an inflated initial number that quietly drops after “inspection.” Here’s how we avoid being that buyer.

The Common Lowball Tactic

  • A high initial offer gets you to sign a contract
  • An “inspection” finds issues that were visible from the street
  • The offer drops, and you’re now weeks into the process with less leverage
  • Vague “weasel clause” language lets the buyer walk or renegotiate almost any time

This page is about the math and the contract. For how to verify Revolutionary Home Buyers as a company — BBB status, real reviews, our office — see Legitimate House Buyers in Maryland. Maryland also regulates how earnest money deposits must be handled — you can read the state’s own consumer guidance through the Maryland Real Estate Commission’s consumer resources.

Straight Answers

FAQs About Our Offer Process

What exactly goes into my cash offer number?

Four things: After Repair Value (ARV), estimated repair costs, typical selling costs (around 10% of ARV), and our minimum ROI. We show you all four, not just a final number.

Will my offer change after you inspect the property?

We do our evaluation upfront, so the number we give you is the number we intend to close at — barring something genuinely undisclosed being found during a walkthrough.

How fast do you put down earnest money?

Within 48 hours of a signed contract. A buyer unwilling to commit funds quickly is a common warning sign worth asking about with any investor.

What's a "weasel clause" and should I worry about one in my contract?

It's vague contract language that lets a buyer back out or renegotiate for almost any reason. We avoid that kind of wording — you should always read any contract carefully and ask what a clause actually means before signing.

How is this different from checking if you're a legitimate company?

This page covers how the offer itself is calculated and protected. For verifying us as a business — BBB accreditation, real reviews, our office address — see Legitimate House Buyers in Maryland.
