What we pay
What we pay, and how we get there.
We make written cash offers based on four things: location, condition, repairs the house needs, and what comparable houses have recently sold for. Every offer is negotiable.
A plain definition
What “as-is” means.
RC Home Buyers buys the house in its current condition. We do not ask you to complete repairs, clean it out, or prepare it for inspections. Take what you want and leave the rest.
No repairs
No cleaning
No inspection requests
A worked example
The math on a traditional sale.
This example starts with a $300,000 Columbus house. It is a comparison, not a promise of what any particular house will sell for.
| $300,000 example | RC Home Buyers | Traditional sale |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | $0 | 5.65% = $16,950 |
| Seller-paid closing costs | We typically pay closing costs | 2.98% ≈ $8,940 |
| Repairs and preparation | $0 required | ≈$2,161 for staging/prep, plus any needed repairs |
| Timeline | As few as 14 days | ~44 days to contract, plus 30–45 days to close |
Closing-cost source: Real Estate Witch, Ohio seller-cost data, July–August 2026. Preparation figure is a nationwide staging average; repairs vary by condition. Commission source: Clever survey of 434 agents, Aug 2026. Market timeline source: Redfin, Columbus, Apr 2026.
Price and certainty
Why a cash offer can be lower—and when it still nets more.
A cash offer can be lower than the price a house might reach after repairs, preparation, marketing, and buyer competition. That difference pays for a different kind of sale: one without a financing contingency, repair requests, repeated showings, or months of uncertainty. It is important to compare what you may receive after every cost—not just the number at the top of an offer.
A direct sale can still leave more in your pocket when commission, seller-paid costs, repairs, utilities, insurance, taxes, and mortgage payments would otherwise continue. It can also remove the risk that a buyer’s financing fails before closing. RC Home Buyers shows its number in writing, explains how it was reached, and lets you decide. The offer is negotiable and there is no obligation to accept it.
