The goal is to see what you could realistically sell your property for based on comparable home sales nearby. Online tools like Zillow or Redfin, while only estimates, are good starting points to see what nearby homes have actually sold for.
In a traditional home sale, the seller pays fees to both their agent and the buyer's agent. It's common for the total commission to be around 5-6% of the sale price.
$10 000 $ %
This is the total cost of getting your home ready to show to potential buyers. This varies depending on whether you pay for staging, cosmetic improvements, and storage.
$40 000 $ %
Buyers almost always ask sellers to pay certain costs on their behalf, based on what they'll need to repair once they own the home. The amount a buyer can request is limited by their loan type & terms, but typically buyers ask for 0 - 2% of the home sale price.
$4 000 $ %
Also referred to as closing costs, these mandatory fees typically range from 1% to 3% of the sale price. (If you sell your house to a cash buyer, the buyer will pay all closing costs)
$6 000 $ %
These are costs you incur transitioning from one home to the next. Examples include paying for a short-term rental, paying two mortgage payments, or leasing your home back from the buyer before you move.
$40 000 $ %
Sometimes a property needs a lot of work to be "market ready". The buyer will usually ask you to make repairs or request a credit equal to the expected repair cost.
This is how much it would cost to pay off your mortgage today. Note that this may not be the same as your current balance.

Everyone likes to know the “value” of their home but the big question really isn’t “What is my house worth?” it’s “What will I actually walk away with if I sold it on the market?” Aside from what you may owe on your mortgage, there are plenty of costs, fees and risks with every traditional sale: 5-6% realtor commissions (yikes), repairs, closing costs, title/escrow fees, holding costs, and of course, price reductions….sellers almost ALWAYS ask for concessions or money for repairs, which will further chip away at your bottom line. Once you really understand what you’d make from selling your house just listing it with a realtor, then you can truly choose the best path forward for YOU, as you have several options.
Selling on the market might look appealing with a higher listing price, but is it worth the time and upfront costs? For some, a quick, hassle-free cash sale might be the better choice—no repairs, no waiting, just an easy transaction. Others who are somewhere in the middle – maybe you don’t have time and energy to wait 3-5 months to sell, but maybe you’re not willing to take an as-is cash offer – you might prefer to maximize your property’s value through our funded renovation & Equity Boost Program, where we fund and manage renovations, and you pay nothing until your house sells for top dollar, guaranteed.
Our Home Sale Calculator takes the guesswork out of the process. By entering a few details, you’ll see an estimate of what you’d pocket in a traditional home sale after deducting the average expenses. From realtor commissions to staging costs, our tool breaks down the expenses so you can make a more informed decision, by looking at which option aligns best with your goals. No two situations are alike, and the best option depends on your priorities: time, convenience, and maximizing your profit. How much equity are you willing to trade for your time and peace of mind? Use our home value estimator & home sale calculator today to find out what your house is worth after the numbers are crunched.

Went through a divorce and had to sell my house in 10 days. SD House Heroes saved me in a time of need!!
Thank you SO much, you made this process super stress-free. I did NOT miss the hassles of a traditional sale :).
They really were our heroes! We closed in 8 days and they gave us a a very fair offer! Thanks Brock & Robyn!!
Had a rental property I had to sell ASAP. Brock & Robyn and SD House Heroes were unreal! Easiest transaction ever.
Nothing short of a Godsend to my mother, she got an additional $65,000 from the equity boost updates. They even helped her move! She was a very happy camper
Equity Boost Program was so great for my family, Brock & Robyn were able to pay me $80k more than the cash offers we got for our Carlsbad house. Couldn't believe how fast they put in floors, painted and staged to get it sold too!
We inherited an older house from my grandmother and we needed to sell as-is. The cash offer was very fair, and they were open and transparent the entire time. We closed and got paid in 20 days.
My wife & I did the equity boost program on our townhouse in La Mesa, SDHH got us $115,000 more than the highest cash offer! And they moved us out to Tennessee and took care of literally everything. Couldn't have been better.
