How does my offer compare to values on sites like Trulia and Zillow?
The home values found on sites like Trulia, Zillow Redfin, and others, are estimates based upon computer-generated algorithms that do not take into consideration the condition of the home or other factors. At best, these are computer-generated guesses.
Our offer is based upon an analysis of recent sales, property location, property finishes, repairs needed, market inventory, and many other items that affect the value of your specific property.
The offer you receive from OutFactors is a real, not computer-generated, estimate.
What if I don’t know the date I would like to close?
This is not a problem. You just need to select a date that you believe will work best, and we will adjust the closing date as needed.
Will OutFactors negotiate on their offer price?
We do everything possible to give you our best all-cash offer at the beginning but like all humans, we make mistakes. We welcome the opportunity to discuss our offer with you to see if we missed something or to double-check our mathematical calculations. Many times, mistakes are revealed which enable us to increase our offer – so please call us to discuss.

Yes. If your home is currently listed, we will gladly work with your agent directly. When getting an offer just complete the section that requests the name of your agent and we will take it from there.
