Get a Cash Offer Based on the Property As It Is.
Homes General evaluates the property as an investment. Start with the house as it is, understand what affects the number, and decide whether the convenience of a direct sale is worth the tradeoff.
What a Homes General cash offer is
A direct offer is a purchase proposal from an investor. It is not an appraisal, a guaranteed market value, or a promise that your house would sell for the same number on the open market. Homes General evaluates whether the property fits an investment purchase and, if it does, what price can support the work, costs, risk and return involved.
What affects the number
Property and market
Recent comparable sales, neighborhood demand, property type, lot, layout and the realistic resale or rental strategy all matter.
Condition and work
Roof, HVAC, foundation, water damage, deferred maintenance, cosmetics, cleanout and renovation affect what happens after the purchase.
Transaction costs
Closing, title, financing, holding, insurance, utilities and other transaction costs affect an investor's economics.
Risk and required return
Resale uncertainty, project scope, timing and the capital tied up in the property are part of an investment purchase.
What you do not need before asking
- You do not need to renovate first.
- You do not need professional repair estimates.
- You do not need to empty every room before the first conversation.
- You do not need to provide a phone number if you prefer email.
Repairs become our responsibility
After closing, Homes General or the purchasing entity takes responsibility for the renovation, repair and investment work built into the deal.
Cleanout may be simpler
Depending on the property and transaction, the seller may be able to leave unwanted items or avoid a full cleanout before closing.
Timing can be part of the terms
We can often work with the seller on a practical closing or possession timeline rather than assuming every seller can move immediately.
Moving support may be available
When appropriate, moving assistance may be included or coordinated as part of the seller's transition.
If Homes General buys the property, what happens to the work?
What happens if the property is not a fit?
Homes General does not buy every property, and a direct purchase is not right for every seller. If cash is not the best fit, we can help the seller compare the open-market route and, where appropriate, connect them with appropriately licensed real estate professionals across all 50 states under a separate relationship. If the seller is buying next, lending and other transition resources may also be available.
