Net proceeds calculator
A cash offer can look low next to what you think the house would list for, but the price on the sign is not what you take home. Put in your own numbers, every cost on both sides, and see the two nets side by side.
Run your numbers
Column A is listing with an agent. Column B is a direct, as-is cash sale. Fill in what you know, leave the rest blank, and see what each one would put in your pocket.

Line by line
The listing price is the top line. Here is everything that comes off it before you see a check, and which of those costs a cash sale shares.
A listing is also a bet on things going to plan. These do not fit in a box, but they are real:
Your options, honestly
For a house that needs work, usually not full retail value. A cash buyer is paying for the house as it is today and taking on the repairs, the time and the risk.
That is why the sale price is the wrong thing to compare. The net is what matters, and sometimes the faster, simpler sale is worth more to you than a higher number you have to wait and work for. Sometimes it is not. Both answers are fine.
Not sure which one you are? Get a cash offer for the house as it is and put it in column B. Then you are comparing a real number, not a guess. If the house needs a lot of work, see selling a house that needs repairs. On orders? See selling on PCS orders.
Who is behind column B
Column B is only as honest as the repair number behind it. That is why it matters that Angel Gomero, who owns Remodeling Investment Group, has worked as a contractor. He is also a U.S. Navy veteran, and an investor who has closed on a lot of properties.
Our offer is based on the house as it is: where it is, its condition and what it would take to repair it. Angel can walk a house and price that work honestly, instead of padding it to push the number down. We go over the numbers with you, so you can check them against your own.
You pay no agent commissions, we cover standard closing costs, and the sale closes on your timeline, on the date you pick once title is clear. And you deal with someone local to Hampton Roads, not a national franchise or an app.

Sellers
Saved me from a huge headache!
I inherited a property that needed a massive amount of work—roof leaks, outdated plumbing, you name it. I didn’t have the time or funds to fix it up before putting it on the market. Remodeling Investment Group came through with a fair cash offer within 24 hours. The process was smooth, transparent, and we closed in under two weeks. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Seamless experience from start to finish.
I had to relocate for a new job on short notice and needed to sell my home fast without dealing with endless open houses or repair demands from retail buyers. Remodeling Investment Group made a direct cash offer, handled all the paperwork, and let me pick my closing date. Truly stress-free!
Perfect solution for landlords ready to step away.
After dealing with problematic tenants and constant repairs on my rental property, I was ready to exit. Remodeling Investment Group bought the property as-is—no cleaning or repairs required. They were honest, polite, and kept every promise they made. A top-tier team!
Questions
The sale price usually is, because a cash buyer takes the house as-is and takes on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk. What you keep is a different question. After commission, repairs, concessions, holding costs and closing costs, the gap can be smaller than it looks, or bigger. Your own numbers in the calculator above will tell you which.
For a house that needs work, usually not full retail value, and the calculator does not pretend otherwise. A cash offer prices the house as it is today: where it is, its condition and what it would take to repair it. The repair estimate is the part you can check. Angel has worked as a contractor, and we go over the numbers with you, so hold our repair figure up against what you put in column A's repairs box.
Usually the seller. Virginia's grantor tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500, and the seller pays it unless the buyer agrees to pay some or all of it (Va. Code § 58.1-802(A)). That is why the calculator puts it on both sides.
When you sell to us, you pay no agent commissions and we cover standard closing costs. We go over the numbers with you before you agree to anything, so you know what you would walk away with.
It depends on whether the repairs pay for themselves. In column A, add the repair cost, raise the listing price to what you think the fixed-up house would bring, and add the months the work would take. If the net barely moves, the repairs may not be worth the time and risk. If it moves a lot, fixing up and listing may be the better call.
No. It includes the Virginia grantor tax because the seller usually pays it at closing either way. Any tax on a gain depends on your situation and applies whichever way you sell, so ask a tax professional.
No. The math runs in your browser, and the numbers you type are not sent to us or saved. Only the offer form sends us anything, and only when you submit it.
No. Drop our number into column B and run both columns. If the net does not work for you, walk away. Asking costs nothing.
