Keep it. A cash offer is a good starting point. But it’s one number from one buyer, and you don’t know yet if it’s fair. In the session, I’ll look at what a builder could build on your lot and show you a realistic range. Then you can compare your offer against it.

Often you can’t tell from the letter. Many come from wholesalers who plan to sell your contract to a builder for a profit. Bring your letters to the session and I’ll tell you which look like builders, which look like middlemen, and what questions to ask each one.

No. If a builder plans to tear the house down, repairs and staging won’t raise their offer. And you don’t need to empty every closet before we talk, or even before you sell. We’ll plan the clean-out around your timeline.

The session is free, with no obligation. If you decide to sell with me, I’ll explain exactly how I’m paid, in writing, before you sign anything. You’ll know the numbers up front and can compare them against any direct offer you have.

Sometimes owners do. The risk is selling to the first builder who calls when another builder would have paid more, or selling to a middleman without knowing it. One owner I worked with had been getting these letters for years. I connected them directly with a builder, and they walked away with an extra $30,000.

Not at all. Knowing your number doesn’t mean you have to do anything with it. Many owners book a session just to understand their options, then decide on their own timeline.

Yes, and I’d encourage it. Getting everyone the same information at the same time makes the decision much easier. Family members can join in person or by phone or video.

I grew up writing estimates in my dad’s home remodeling and building business, so I look at lots the way builders do. I check the zoning, setbacks, slope, and trees, figure out what size house could go there, and compare it with what new homes nearby are selling for.

That happens, and you should know if it’s true for your home. I’ll look at both numbers so you can choose the path that puts more in your pocket.

It depends on the builder and the terms. Some can move quickly. Others need a study period first to check the lot. In the session, we’ll talk about the timeline you need and which kinds of offers can actually meet it.
