The 3e System™ · Step 2: Evaluation

Evaluate your options

Now that you understand your situation, we look at the real numbers and your options, so you can compare the real cost of saving or selling before you make a financial decision.

What we evaluate

More than just the value of your home.

Evaluation is designed to give you a realistic picture of where you stand, and of what each option could actually look like.

01

Redemption payoff

What's actually needed to reinstate the mortgage or redeem the property?

02

Monthly budget

Is keeping the home financially realistic going forward?

03

Estimated repairs

What work may be needed, and how would it affect the price if you sell?

04

Cash or investor value

What might an investor realistically pay for the property?

05

Retail market value

What might the property sell for on the open market, as is?

06

Selling costs

What expenses may come with each type of sale?

07

Estimated net proceeds

About how much could you keep after each type of sale?

08

Your timeline

How much time do you have to realistically complete your plan?

Start with your monthly budget. It's free and anonymous.

Save or sell?

Let the numbers help you decide.

Based on your timeline, saving the home may be both possible and financially realistic. For others, selling may protect equity that could otherwise be lost.

If selling becomes the best option, there's still another important comparison to make: an investor sale or a retail sale?

Investor sale

A cash or investor sale may offer speed and convenience. It's often marketed as a “cash offer.”

Retail sale

A retail sale may take more time, but it could bring a higher sale price and more equity for you to keep.

Both kinds of sale price depend on your timeline, the condition and updates of the property, and the market.

The point

Evaluation isn't about choosing for you. It's about giving you the information you need to compare your choices yourself.

Know your numbers before you decide

  • A lower payment, like a loan modification or forbearance, doesn't mean the home is affordable.
  • A cash offer isn't necessarily the best offer.
  • A cash offer doesn't necessarily mean your home will close in time.
  • A cash offer isn't always a low offer.
  • A cash offer doesn't mean the “buyer” is the actual buyer.
  • A retail offer will often mean more money in your pocket.

We look at your complete picture, so you can compare the real financial options available to you.
