Your questions, answered
How do I know if Hartcrest is best for my complicated scenario?
As a fiduciary, we will always put your interests first. We work alongside your trusted tax and legal advisors to customize solutions to prepare your property for sale so you can get the most out of it.1
How much will you loan me to improve my property?
Zero dollars, that’s right, nothing. Why? Because our process does not involve loaning you any money nor does it require you to pay out-of-pocket for any of the improvements.1
How is my current sale price/original sale amount determined?
Hartcrest will provide a detailed analysis which concludes with your current market value, projected improvement budget, anticipated timeline, and estimated additional net profit.1
Can you pay my mortgage and tax bill while you prepare my property for sale?
Yes, Hartcest can front the cost of ongoing holding expenses. Mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, operating expenses and all other holding costs can be included in your projected improvement budget.1
Once my property sells for more, won’t I have to pay more capital gains taxes?
The improvements Hartcrest makes are added to your property’s basis, which helps reduce the amount of taxable capital gains. By increasing your basis, you may end up paying less in capital gains taxes than you expect.3

1As a fiduciary, we have the legal obligation to act solely in our client’s best interest, putting client’s needs before our own or any other party’s. Fiduciary duties include but are not limited to honesty, fair dealing, good faith, integrity, disclosure, confidentiality and performing all actions with reasonable skill, care, diligence and thoroughness.
Results may vary. Hartcrest offers no guarantee or warranty of results. Subject to additional terms, conditions and eligibility. Because our personalized approach is based on your unique property and situation, terms, conditions, and our fee agreement will be provided to you in writing should your property meet eligibility. Eligibility and proposed capital commitment are subject to the discretionary underwriting approval made by Hartcrest, its subsidiaries, affiliates, assignees and/or limited partners. Exclusions apply and not every property will be deemed eligible.
Typically, and subject to additional terms, conditions and eligibility, your current sale price/original sale amount represents the amount you could reasonably expect to collect if your property were sold “as is.” The additional net profit you receive is calculated by subtracting your original sale amount, the cost of the improvement plan, and our transparent fee from the final sale proceeds.
