A fair cash offer is not Market Value! It is not consistent with any of the common value definitions such as Market Value, Fair Cash Value, or Liquidation Value. A fair cash offer is whatever the buyer wants to offer you with the word fair added in front of it! If one of these “we buy homes as-is” companies has made you an offer you owe it to yourself to consult with a local appraiser. Their objective opinions and research can make sure you are not leaving tens of thousands on the table. A qualified appraiser can help answer questions like:

Would I net more marketing through a Realtor?

Do I need to sell my home as-is?

Do I need need to sell for cash.?

Is updating or remodeling worth the cost?

What repairs or clean-up might be required for conventional mortgage, FHA, VA or USDA rural mortgage?

What are value trends and market conditions in my particular market?
