Sell Your House Fast in & Get a Great Offer!
What information will you need from me?
Ok, so you decide to reach out to us 🙂 What happens then? If you contact us during business hours (8:00 am – 8:00 pm), one of our team members (you can see who they are here) will either pick up the call or call you right back. The call only takes a few minutes. They will ask you for some basic info about your property, listen to your needs, answer any questions you may have, and offer guidance and recommendations to assist you in your home selling journey, even if that means we’re not the best option for you.
The short answer is no… We do not give the exact offer over the phone right away. We can, however, give you a range of where our offer will most likely be at.
Why not? I know other “We Buy Houses” companies give an offer right away over the phone, or promise to give you a cash offer for your home within 7 minutes!
Well, the problem with that is that most of these companies will just give you a bogus inflated offer, try to lock you up in a contract, and then use an “inspection report” to ask you for a huge price reduction at the end of their inspection period. We’ve seen this tactic used A LOT of times by many investors in our market, and we hate it! We hate that it gives our profession such a bad reputation and the pure dishonesty that goes with it.
That’s Why…
When you call us, our team will just get the basic info from you, to make sure that working with us really makes sense for you. If you feel that the options we have available are worthy, our team will schedule an offer appointment (can be done the same day, either by phone or in-person) for you with one of our experienced team members – Juan. Before the appointment, he will do in-depth research on the property so that he can give you the highest and best offer, suited for your individual needs!
How do I know you will not make a lowball offer?
I’m glad you asked – It’s in our best interest to make you a good offer that you are happy with because that’s how we stay in business. No rational person would accept a ridiculous lowball offer, so it wouldn’t make sense for us to make you one! Our business is buying houses (or land, apartments, etc.), and we can’t buy houses if our offers don’t get accepted
One thing to keep in mind is that we have several different options as far as what type of offer we can make you. If you choose the fast cash offer for your home, our offer will be fair, but it will not be “full market value”. However, we’ve made our business as efficient as possible so that we can afford to make higher cash offers compared to other home buyers in TX!
Some of our other options do allow us to offer you even more than full market value, but these offers will not be a “sell my house fast for cash” type offer. Give us a call at (469) 595-7064 or contact us through the online form to learn about the other options we can offer you.
Do you provide any other options or just a cash offer?
Great question. In the beginning, we used to only offer cash for properties with the intention of renovating them and reselling. However, over the years, we’ve developed our team and capabilities to be able to serve more homeowners in a variety of different situations. We’re now able to help you even if you are not in a rush to sell, but prefer to get more for your home vs. a discounted cash offer.

So, how do you calculate your offer to buy my home for cash?
“So how much am I going to get for my house?” This is usually what everyone is most eager to know. For good reason, you want to get a fair price! So let’s break down how it works when we calculate how much we can pay for your house.
First…
things first: we use a simple formula. There are 4 different parts of the formula and we’ll cover what each part means and how we calculate them, but let’s first take a look at the overall formula
The formula we use to make you offer: [ARV] – [Repairs] – [Trans. Cost] – [Min. Profit] = $$YOUR OFFER$$
What does it mean??
Let’s break down each of the 4 different figures one by one, starting from the beginning…
- The After Repair Value (“ARV”), is the price we think we can sell the house for after it’s all fixed up. To find this number, we look at recent sales for similar homes in your neighborhood. Sites like Redfin and Zillow are great resources to look for comparable sales.
- Next is the cost of rehabbing the property (“Repairs”). This is what we estimate it would cost for us to fix it up. We like to do quick, in-and-out rehabs that keep our costs low instead of elaborate jobs – which is how we can pay more than the competition.
- After that, we take into consideration the transaction costs (“Trans. Cost”). If we’re going to resell the house, we need to make sure we give ourselves room for the commissions, closing costs, and holding fees to come- which is usually about 10% of the ARV.
- Lastly, we determine our minimum profit (“Min. Profit”). Real estate is how we support and provide for our family and if we aren’t profitable, we wouldn’t get to stay in business so this is something we must factor in. Our minimum profit is dependent on the purchase price of the home. The higher we pay for a home, the more profit we need to make to offset the risks.
Let’s put this all together…
So we start with what we can potentially resell the house for (“ARV”), then deduct all of the repair costs, deduct the transaction costs, and minus out our profit… what is left is our maximum allowable offer – what we offer you for your house
For example – Let’s say your home after it’s all fixed up and remodeled, would be worth $300K. And let’s say it needs about $40,000 in repairs, our cash offer to you would be calculated like this: $300K, minus $40K in Repairs, minus $300K x 10% in Transaction Cost, minus $30K in Minimum Profit = $200K Cash Offer.
What happens if I accept your offer? How long does the closing process take?
As with all the “Cash For Houses” companies in TX, our closing process usually takes about 2-4 weeks, depending on the urgency. If you need a faster or longer closing time frame, we can definitely work with you. Below is a simple yet detailed outline of the closing process:
Opening Escrow
Once you decide to sign the purchase agreement, we will sign the contract and send the contract to the title company for them to order title and lien searches.
Timeline: 24 hours – 48 hours
Reviewing Title / Lien Searches
The title company performs a search for title and liens on the property. If anything comes back on those searches that needs to be addressed, we will contact you to determine the next steps. Sellers find us to be very creative and able to find a solution for almost any title/lien problem!
Timeline: 1 – 2 weeks
Scheduling the Closing & Getting You Cashed Out!
We’re ready to close and get you paid! We will reach out to you and see when would be the most convenient date/time for you to close. We can either schedule you to go to the title company or send a mobile notary to your location. Once you sign closing docs, the cash is either wired to your bank account or you get a certified cashier’s cheque from the title company. This usually happens the same day, but can sometimes be delayed to the next business day.
Timeline = Normally 1-7 Days
Why should I sell to you and not list with a Realtor?
Well, maybe listing with a realtor IS really the better option for you. For some people it is. If we feel that listing with an agent would make more sense for you, we will happily let you know that on the initial call. In addition to buying your home, one of the licensed Realtors on our team can also list it for you. Below are some of the main differences between selling to Brickment Homes, vs. listing with an agent.
| | SOLD to Brickment Homes | Selling w/ An Agent |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / Fees: | NONE | 6% on average is paid by you, the seller |
| Who Pays Closing Costs?: | NONE – We pay all costs | 2% on average is paid by you, the seller |
| Mortgage Financing: | NONE – we make cash offers | Yes, the sale often subject to lender approval |
| Appraisal Needed: | NONE | Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal |
| Showings or Open House: | NONE | Daily/Weekly |
| Closing Date: | Day of YOUR CHOICE | 30-60 +/- days after accepting buyers offer |
| Who Pays For Repairs?: | NONE – We pay for all repairs | Negotiated prior to closing |
With so many newbie investors and scam artists out there, I’m not surprised you’re asking this… Vetting your buyer to make sure they will actually close, is usually more important than getting the highest offer for your home. We get a lot of sellers calling us after their 1st or 2nd buyers fall through and cancel the sale on them. Needless to say, they are frustrated and distrustful of investors. That’s where Brickment Homes is different. We make honest and transparent offers, with the intention of getting them closed! That’s why we get so many positive reviews and testimonials
How can you protect yourself from falling for the scam artist trap?
Quite a few ways actually…
- Ask for proof of funds – Does the “Cash” buyer really have the cash to be able to buy your house? Many times they don’t!
- Contract terms – Don’t fall for a tiny deposit or crazy long inspection periods (7-10 days is normal, some buyers ask for 30 days inspection or more!). Watch the “additional terms” of the contract for possible back-out clauses allowing the buyer to back out of the contract for basically any reason they make up.
- How long has the buyer been in business? You want to look for someone that’s been around for at least 4-5 years and knows the ins and out’s of the complex Real Estate industry.
- Can you verify that the buyer actually buys & sells properties? One easy way is to look up the company name in public records and see if there are any deeds recorded under their name.
- Finally, does the buyer have any online reviews or testimonials to show that they are legit? We do, and a lot of them… Just a hint
