Most cash buyers offer you less because your home needs work. Cash+ works the opposite way your offer is based on what your home will be worth fully renovated, not its condition today. You get paid as if the work is already done, without lifting a finger or living through a remodel.
Who Keeps the Equity
Here's what makes this different from a typical investor sale: any increase in value from the renovation comes back to you. You're not selling at a discount so someone else profits from the rehab you get the benefit of your home's full renovated value. The buyer earns their return through the program fee and a share of resale upside, not by keeping your equity gains.
How It Works
1. You receive an offer based on the home's projected fully renovated value.
2. You and I review the offer together.
3. All proposed repairs and costs are reviewed and approved by you before anything proceeds decline or cap any item you're not comfortable with.
4. You close and move out with the funds from your sale in hand toward your next home.
5. The buyer completes the approved renovation.
6. The home is relisted. If it sells for more than projected, that upside comes back to you.
The fee covers what it takes to actually deliver that renovated value: construction management, permits and inspections, and contractor sourcing and oversight. In most cases, the value gained from selling at full renovated value more than offsets it. I'll walk you through the actual numbers for your home before you decide anything.
Pre-renovation value: ~$750K. Cash+ offer: $821K, based on projected renovated value. $65K in approved renovation costs. Resold at $855K. Full reserve returned, plus $34K above the original offer paid back to the sellers as a bonus.
A seller I worked with had a cash offer in hand that felt low at the time compared to the traditional-sale estimate. They chose to list traditionally instead. Six months into a changing market with a slow but steady price adjustment along the way the home sold for almost exactly what the original cash offer had been. In the meantime, the seller had moved and was carrying two mortgage payments along the way.
This isn't a story about a wrong decision the traditional sale was a completely reasonable call with the information available at the time. It's a real example of how market timing actually looks in practice, and why certainty has real value even when the number in front of you doesn't feel like the ceiling.
