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 to determine its value. Using this information, we prepare a fair, customized cash offer for you.
Our offer is based on four key elements that help us determine a fair value for your property.
The after repair value “ARV” off 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 that we will make)
To increase a home’s value, it often needs repairs and updates. These improvements can include things like a new roof, HVAC, hot water heater,flooring, paint, cabinets, fixtures, landscaping, and other upgrades that help bring the home back to a new condition.
Our selling costs
After the property is renovated, there are still costs involved in selling it. While you won’t pay any commissions or fees when you sell to us, we will be responsible for those expenses along with taxes, insurance, holding costs, HOA fees, and other related expenses. All of these are included in our selling costs.
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. Our goal is to keep our profit as reasonable as possible so we can offer you the best price we can for your home.

Case studies
You'll find a homeowner we recently helped below
Rhodes Ave. Memphis, TN 38111
The Seller - Mr. Crosby
Mr. Crosby, a Memphis attorney and the seller of a property on Rhodes Avenue, 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 and straightforward process. We were able to close on the property 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 and bring it back to great condition. Today, the property has been transformed and is now rented out to a family, providing them with a safe and comfortable place to call home while also improving the neighborhood.
Another homeowner that we recently helped
Barron Ave Memphis TN 38111
The Seller - Mr. Jones
This property in Cordova, Tennessee 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 each spoken with several home buyers in the Memphis area before ultimately choosing to work with Key Estates Properties. We structured the transaction to fit their needs, including a two-week holdback after closing. The title company held a portion of the proceeds until the sellers fully vacated the property, at which point the remaining funds were released. After purchasing the home, Key Estates Properties completed renovations and later resold the property to an owner-occupant buyer.
The Rehab
During the renovation, we painted the entire exterior and replaced both the roof and 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.
What Happens Next When You Accept an Offer & How Long Does It Take To Close?
Step 1
Receive the offer
After you accept our offer, we will 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 and let you know if any additional documents are needed.
Step 2
Conduct Inspections & Address Any Title Concerns
We will schedule a time to visit the property to confirm the details you’ve shared and assess its condition so we can plan for any repairs after closing.At the same time, the title company will review the property’s title to ensure it can be transferred properly. If any issues arise, such as liens or missing documents, they will contact you directly to help resolve them. We use a title company because they act as a neutral third party to verify ownership, handle the paperwork, and ensure the funds and property transfer are completed safely and correctly.
Step 3
Schedule The Closing & Get You Cash
After all steps are completed, we will schedule the closing so you can receive your payment. You may choose to close at the title company or have a mobile notary meet you at a convenient location. Once the documents are signed, the title company will send your funds by wire transfer or check, based on your preference. In most cases, you will receive your money the same day, though it can occasionally take up to one business day.

Frequently asked questions
How do you come up with a purchase price for my home?
We’re here to help! We’re an open book with regard to our method. You may ask us anything at any time, and we’ll be delighted to respond. We consider the property’s location, required repairs, current state, and previous sales of comparable homes in the area. You also understand that home values have dropped dramatically in the last five years and that most areas have yet to recover. We take various elements into account…and arrive at a fair price that is beneficial to both parties.
Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
This is what sets us apart from the standard sales approach: There are NO costs or commissions when you sell your property to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a good fit, we’ll buy your house (and we frequently pay for the closing expenses as well!). There are no fees or hassles. We make money after we’ve paid for repairs on the property (if any) and sold it for a profit (we’re taking the risks here, whether we can sell it for a profit or not… once we acquire the property from you, the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of ownership).
How are you different from real estate agents?
Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: We’re not agents, we’re home buyers. Our company actually buys houses. We don’t list houses. Since we’re actually the one buying the house from you, and we pay with all cash… we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer (which is the hard part in this market).
Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
There is no commitment on your part. We’ll take a look at it, perhaps set up a call with you to find out more, and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair to both of us. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you.
Do you pay a reasonable price for real estate?
Many of the houses we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell them at a profit to another homeowner). We are looking to get a fair price on a home. However, in our experience, many sellers aren’t expecting to get a large “windfall” from the property; rather, they appreciate that we can pay in cash and that we close fast (no waiting for financing). If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast… let’s see if we can come to a fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)
