The Process
How it works
We Talk About Your House
A quick call about the property, your timeline, and what matters most to you.
You See All Three Numbers
A cash offer, a novation estimate, and a realistic retail listing price, laid out side by side.
You Pick Your Door
No pressure toward any one option. You choose what fits, and I handle the rest.
3 Ways to Sell
One honest number for each door
No pressure toward any single option. I show you the real math for your house, then you pick.
Cash Offer
Sell as-is, no repairs, no showings. The fastest, most certain path, usually the lowest number of the three.
Typical net
Lower of the three
Novation
Repairs get handled first, then the house lists on the open market. The repair cost gets settled at closing.
Typical net
Middle of the three
Retail Listing
A traditional listing aimed at top dollar. Takes longer and the house needs to show well.
Typical net
Higher of the three
Buying?
Buy with an investor's eye.
Years of buying and renovating Philly houses means Aldo sees what a pretty listing hides: real repair costs, lazy flips, and actual after-repair value. That same eye works for you on the buy side too.

Why get all three numbers from one person?
Aldo Chandra · Builder, investor, and agent
Read Aldo's Story →Most sellers only ever hear one pitch: the cash buyer who wants a quick assignment, or the agent who wants a listing. Aldo Chandra built homes for Toll Brothers, has spent years buying and renovating Philadelphia houses himself, and is now a licensed Pennsylvania salesperson too.
That means you get the cash number, the novation number, and the retail number, from someone who actually understands all three sides of the deal.
The Work
Built, not just sold.
Ground-up construction, gut renovations, and everything between. This is where the honest math comes from.
A cash offer (fastest, lowest number), a full retail listing (highest number, takes longer, needs the house in sellable shape), or a novation (a listing where the house gets fixed up first, then sold on the open market, with the repair cost settled at closing). I'll walk you through the real numbers on all three before you pick one.
