How Do We Come Up With Our Offers?
Our Offers Are Based On Your Home's "ARV" or "After Repair Value!"
This simply means, we look at what the value of your home would be, completely fixed up. Based on this value, we will formulate your offer!
Based on the market data, we will come up with a customized offer based on your property's condition, location, and recently sold houses similar to yours. Again, our goal is to offer you the best possible offer we can give.
Let's Look at the Example Below:
Two houses are completely identical: built the same year, same square footage, beds and baths, and located right next to each other.
The only difference is the owner of house A put in granite countertops, put hardwood floors in and put a new roof on. The house A sold for $300k a month ago.
The owner of house B wants to sell their house now but it doesn't have those upgrades. How would Green Pear Homes calculate an offer on house B?
House A - Sold for $300K
Granite countertops
Hardwood floors
New roof
House B - Cash Offer TBD
Laminate countertops
Vinyl floors
Roof needs to be replaced
Since we know the ARV of House B ($300k), we can now calculate a cash offer that will work for us. If our offer works for you, we can make the agreement official and set a closing date and you will receive your payment at closing.
Our offer is based on market numbers and data, not your circumstances.
The Offer
Many other companies don't do this but we value honesty and transparency, so here's how we formulate our offers.
Your Offer = [After Repair Value] - [Cost of Repairs] - [Our Selling Costs] - [Our Minimum Profit]
What Does All of This Mean?
All of the terminology and calculation can be summed up as the market value of the house, after we fix it up, minus ALL of our costs will result in the offer.
Terminology
After Repair Value (ARV)
This is the market value of your house AFTER we buy and fix it up.
Cost of Repairs (COR)
This is our cost for fixing/updating the house AFTER we buy it from you.
Our Selling Costs
Although we buy houses without realtors, we do use them to sell our houses AFTER we have purchased it and fixed it up.
These fees include agent commissions, closing costs, taxes and holding costs. This is typically about 10% altogether of the selling price.
Our Selling Costs = ARV x 10%
These are all of the fees you DO NOT have to pay, when you sell your house directly to us.
Our Minimum Profit
As investors, running a business, we need to make a certain amount of profit to keep the business running. Therefore we have to ensure each deal we make produces a minimum amount of profit so we stay in business.
We try to find a happy balance between giving you the highest possible offer we can give and us making a profit. Our mission is to create win-win situations.
Here's a look at some of the work we've done on previous houses.
Let's Go Back to Our Example Above
Green Pear Homes's buyers did a quick walkthrough of the House B and took some pictures. After presenting the facts and pictures to the contractor, they estimate the repair costs (new roof, granite countertops and hardwood floors) will be $40k.
If we plug those numbers into our formula above, here's what the offer would be on House B:
Your Offer = [After Repair Value] - [Cost of Repairs] - [Our Selling Costs] - [Our Minimum Profit]Your Offer = [$300k] - [$40k] - [$30k] - [$30k]
Your Offer = $200k
This is how we make our cash offers, no tricks and confusion. Since there's no obligation to accept our offer, there's no pressure from us. It's 100% your choice if our offer works for you and if you want to work with us.
List with an Agent vs. Selling to Green Pear Homes
Comparing Your Options
Listing As-Is with an Agent: You might get a higher price, but it comes with uncertainties, additional fees, and a longer selling timeframe.
Selling to Green Pear Homes: Get a guaranteed sale, quick closing, no additional fees, and a clear understanding of your take-home amount.
House B - List As-Is with Agent
Listed as-is for $260k (ARV - Repairs)
Selling timeframe unknown (avg. 3 to 4 months)
Additional fees (agent fees, closing costs, taxes, holding costs, appraisals, etc.)
Take home $200k - $215k after closing (dependent upon accepted offer minus fees and costs)
House B - Cash Offer of $200k
Guaranteed Sale of $200k
Can close as little 14 days (avg. less than 30 days)
No appraisals, no inspections, no holding costs, no closing costs
Take home $200k after closing because we cover all fees and costs
Analysis of the Offer:
If you decide to list your property as-is, there's a possibility you could get more for your house than selling with us. However, there are hidden costs most people do not account for such as holding costs, appraisals, inspections, 6% agent commissions, closing costs.
Plus, retail buyers do not always pay asking price. They will most likely submit an offer below asking price.
So the question you have to ask yourself:
Do you want to sell your house fast and know exactly how much you're going to receive?
Or are you willing to wait, list your house on the MLS and see what the market dictates?

Obviously, we think you should choose us. But we understand everyone has to do what's best for themselves and their loved ones.
