Hello, I’m Darren Brown with Darren Buys Homes Cash. We’re local investors purchasing properties right here in Sacramento. Based in Roseville, California, we focus primarily on Sacramento, South Sacramento, Florin, Oak Park, Del Paso Heights, and North Highlands. Our specialty is acquiring fixer-uppers and tenant-occupied homes that many landlords no longer want to manage. As experienced cash buyers with over 30 years in the business, I’d like to explain our straightforward process. Did you know that according to Redfin, 34% of Sacramento homes are purchased by cash buyers? Despite this high percentage, many sellers don’t understand the difference between a perceived lowball offer and a fair market value proposal. Today, I want to share how I calculate my offers to ensure transparency. When selling your home, the biggest challenges include determining your actual net proceeds and identifying hidden costs you’ll face on the open market. Here’s my calculation method: First, I determine the property’s potential market value after renovations. From there, I factor in my purchase cost, rehabilitation expenses, and holding costs. These holding costs are particularly relevant for tenant-occupied properties, which is our specialty. If eviction is necessary, we handle it professionally. We also account for ongoing maintenance, utilities, and other carrying costs. The hidden costs sellers often overlook include buyer closing costs (remember, Sacramento in 2025 is a buyer’s market), full realtor commissions, title transfer fees, lender-required repairs, and buyer-requested improvements. After totaling all these expenses and subtracting from the potential market value, there’s a profit margin that I openly discuss with sellers—this is entirely negotiable. Let me share a recent case study from Florin, Sacramento: The sellers considered listing their fixer property with tenants through an agent who quoted approximately $275K. My offer was around $240K. After calculating commissions, title fees, holding costs, and potential eviction expenses, they realized my offer nearly matched their net proceeds from a traditional sale. The key is understanding your true net proceeds and negotiating accordingly with a cash buyer. I make fair cash offers to my sellers without judgment, providing an empathetic, professional approach to difficult situations. Whether you’re dealing with a cluttered home, inheritance, probate issues, divorce, or foreclosure notices, we can help.
