What is your asset actually worth right now?

Most people look at “Market Value” and think that is how much money they have. That is a mistake.

Market Value assumes you have 6 to 12 months to wait for the perfect buyer. But what if you need to sell in 30 days? Or next week?

The truth is: Liquidity has a price.

If you need cash quickly, your asset is worth less than the sticker price. This is called a “Liquidity Discount.”

I designed this calculator to reveal the Fair Cash Offer price for your Real Estate or Private Equity. It uses advanced valuation methods (like DLOM and time-value adjustments) but keeps the math simple for you.

Select your asset type below to get the real number.

How We Calculated Your Discount

You might be looking at your results and wondering: “Why is the discount so high?”

Here is the deal.

In both Real Estate and Private Business, time is leverage. When you give up time (by selling fast), you give up leverage. The buyer takes on your risk, and they charge you a fee for it. In the industry, we call this a “Haircut.”

Here is exactly how this calculator determines that fee:

1. The “Speed Premium” (Time to Liquidity)

Real Estate in Israel (and globally) typically takes 90 to 180 days to sell. If you select “Urgent” or “Immediate Liquidity,” the calculator applies a penalty based on how many days of marketing you are skipping. The faster you want the cash, the higher the discount.

2. Asset Risk (The “Tabu” Factor)

Not all property is owned equally. A standard Tabu (Private Ownership) deed is easy to sell. However, assets with Minhal leases, Moshava joint ownership, or legal complications are harder to transfer. Our algorithm adds a “friction cost” for these complex ownership structures.

3. Minority Interest (For Business Owners)

If you are valuing private shares, we calculate two specific discounts:

  • DLOC (Discount for Lack of Control): If you own less than 51%, you can’t control the company. This reduces the value of your shares.
  • DLOM (Discount for Lack of Marketability): You can’t sell private shares on a stock app. Finding a buyer takes work. We use a standard volatility formula to estimate this cost.

The Bottom Line

The “Fair Liquidity Offer Price” you see above is not a lowball offer. It is the risk-adjusted cash value of your asset today.
