Your Offer, Explained
How does Key Estates Properties calculate the value of my home?
We evaluate the property's location, the repairs that may be needed, the current condition of the home, and recent sales of comparable properties in the area. Our offer is based on four key elements.
The after repair value (ARV) of the property
After repair value, or “ARV”, is the estimated value of a property after all repairs, updates, and improvements have been completed. It represents what the home could likely sell for based on recent sales of similar fully renovated homes in the area.
Renovation cost (cost of repairs we will make)
To increase a home's value, it often needs repairs and updates — a new roof, HVAC, hot water heater, flooring, paint, cabinets, fixtures, landscaping and other upgrades that help bring the home back to new condition.
Our selling costs
After the property is renovated, there are still costs involved in selling it. You won't pay any commissions or fees when you sell to us — we cover those expenses along with taxes, insurance, holding costs, HOA fees and other related expenses.
Our minimum profit
We also account for a small profit in our offer. This helps us support our team, contractors and ongoing projects while continuing to buy homes in the community. We keep our profit as reasonable as possible so we can offer you the best price we can.
Case Studies
Homeowners we recently helped
Real Memphis properties, real timelines, real outcomes.
Rhodes Ave. Memphis, TN 38111
The Seller — Mr. Crosby
The seller
Mr. Crosby, a Memphis attorney, had a difficult experience with another direct buyer who attempted to reduce the price or cancel the contract the day before closing. Needing a reliable solution, he reached out to Key Estates Properties. Our team quickly reviewed the property and moved forward with a clear, straightforward process — we closed in just two weeks.
The house
This property needed significant repairs and updates before we purchased it. After acquiring the home, our team completed a full renovation to restore it. Today the property is rented to a family, giving them a safe and comfortable place to call home while improving the neighborhood.
Barron Ave. Memphis, TN 38111
The Seller — Mr. Jones
The seller
This property required minimal repairs, but the sellers needed a reliable buyer and a smooth, timely closing. Mr. Jones and his ex-wife were going through a divorce and had spoken with several Memphis home buyers before choosing Key Estates Properties. We structured the transaction to fit their needs, including a two-week holdback after closing until they had fully vacated.
The rehab
During the renovation we painted the entire exterior and replaced both the roof and the HVAC system. Inside the home we installed all new flooring, updated the kitchen and bathrooms, and added an additional bedroom to improve the layout and functionality of the property.
After You Accept
What happens next, and how long does it take to close?
Most sellers go from accepted offer to funds in hand in as few as 7–14 days.
Receive the offer
After you accept our offer, we send you a purchase agreement to review and sign. Once completed, we submit the agreement and required documents to the title company and deposit the earnest money the same day. Our closing specialist will then contact you to guide you through the rest of the closing process.
Inspections & any title concerns
We schedule a time to visit the property to confirm the details you've shared and assess its condition. At the same time, the title company reviews the property's title to ensure it can be transferred properly. If issues arise, such as liens or missing documents, they contact you directly to help resolve them.
Schedule the closing & get your cash
We schedule the closing so you can receive your payment. Close at the title company or have a mobile notary meet you wherever is convenient. Once the documents are signed, the title company sends your funds by wire transfer or check. In most cases you receive your money the same day.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do you come up with a purchase price for my home?
We're an open book about our method. We consider the property's location, required repairs, current condition, and previous sales of comparable homes in the area — then work backwards from the after repair value to a fair, customized cash offer.
Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
None. There are no fees or commissions when you sell to us. We make money after we've paid for any repairs on the property and sold it — we take that risk, and you walk away without the burden of ownership.
How are you different from real estate agents?
Agents list properties and hope someone buys, then take 3–6% of the sale price. We're not agents — we're buyers. We purchase with our own cash, so we can make a decision within a couple of days, sometimes the same day.
Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
There is no commitment on your part. We take a look, possibly set up a call to learn more, and make you an all-cash offer that's fair to both of us. From there it's 100% your decision.
Do you pay a reasonable price for real estate?
Many of the homes we purchase are below full retail value so we can resell them at a profit — but we aim for a fair price. Sellers value that we pay cash and close fast, with no waiting on financing.
