During the call, we'll assess the cost of bringing your home up to market standards. Since we know what your home could fetch on the market fully updated, we simply deduct the renovation costs. We use this data to formulate a fair cash offer.

Understanding How We Calculate Your Offer
Once we have your information and assess your home, our offer calculation follows this specific formula:
[Your Offer] = [After Repair Value] - [Cost Of Repairs] - [Our Selling Costs] - [Our Minimum Profit]
Let’s break down each component to see how your offer is determined:
1
We Determine The After Repairs-Market Value Of Your House.
This represents the potential market value of your home after we've upgraded it to top condition. It's an estimate of what your house could sell for if it were completely renovated, featuring modern updates and repairs.
2
We Calculate The Cost of Repairs
This covers all the expenses needed to upgrade and fix your home to reach the ARV. During our appointment, we'll evaluate your home's current condition and estimate the total costs to bring it up to market standards.
3
We Determine Our Selling Costs
After renovating the house, these are the costs we'll incur to sell it. This includes financing fees, holding fees while the property is on the market and while being renovated, payments for any real estate agents involved, and closing costs associated with the sale.
4
We Take Out Our Profits
As a business, we aim to sustain our operations and continue offering excellent services by including a reasonable profit margin in our offer. This ensures we can keep helping homeowners with reliable, fair offers and quick sales.

My 4-Step Cash Sale Process
Four Steps. Zero Stress. Your Home Sold Fast.
Selling your house for cash doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s how we keep the process fast, clear, and stress-free—from the first conversation to cash in your hand.
1️⃣ Talk With Me or My Team
Fill out the form so I can learn more about your property and what you need. We’ll answer your questions, go over how everything works, and if the numbers make sense, we’ll send over a simple two-page agreement.
2️⃣ Review & Sign the Agreement
We’ll go over the agreement with you line by line so you know exactly what to expect. What you see is what you get—minus your mortgage, any liens, and prorated property taxes. Once signed, we’ll open title and also ask for some photos of the property—you can send them, or we’ll send someone to take them.
3️⃣ Quick Walkthrough
We’ll schedule a quick walkthrough with our local buyers to confirm the home’s condition matches what was shared. If something major pops up—like foundation, electrical, plumbing, or roof issues—we may need to adjust the offer to cover those repairs. If the new number doesn’t work for you, just say no. No pressure!
4️⃣ Close & Get Paid
Closing usually happens in 3 to 4 weeks, depending on title work. We work with local title companies in your state to keep things smooth and efficient. On closing day, you hand over the keys, and we hand you the cash. It’s that simple!
Now that you know how the process works, let me show you how I calculate your cash offer. I don’t guess or throw out random numbers—everything is based on real math, actual costs, and local market data. You’ll see exactly how I work the numbers to get to your offer.
Before & After Case Study
A Home That Needs Some Love
Picture this—your home has an outdated kitchen with old cabinets and dated appliances. The bathrooms? Functional, sure, but definitely in need of an upgrade. The floors have seen better days, and the whole place could use a serious facelift. It’s clear the house has potential, but right now, it's far from market-ready.
A Total Transformation
Now, imagine your neighbor just sold their fully renovated home for $500,000. Picture your house looking just like that—modern kitchen, shiny new bathrooms, and fresh floors throughout. Everything updated and move-in ready. With those kinds of upgrades, your house could be right there at the same $500,000 mark!
What Goes Into Your Offer
After Repair Value (ARV): This is the estimated value your fully renovated home could sell for once listed on the MLS. Similar to your neighbor’s home, which sold for $500,000.
Repair Costs: To transform your home to match that $500K finish, we're estimating it'll cost about $85,000. This covers the comprehensive labor, materials, and fees for a general contractor to manage the project from start to finish.
Selling Costs: When we eventually sell the renovated house, we’ll have to cover things like agent fees and closing costs. We factor in about 10% of the ARV for this, which works out to $50,000.
Our Profit: We’re in business to help homeowners like you, but we need to make a bit of profit to keep the lights on. For this deal, our cut would be around $45,000.
The Offer We Make You
Taking all that into account, we’d be looking to offer you about $320,000 for your place as-is. If we find out it needs something big, like a new roof or an HVAC overhaul, we’d need to adjust that number a bit.
By breaking it down this way, we hope to show you exactly how we come up with our offers. It’s all about making sure you get a fair deal, and we handle all the heavy lifting.
FAQs: Selling Your Home to Casti Buys Houses
Am I obligated to accept the cash offer you provide?
Absolutely not! We aim to present a fair cash offer, but you're under no obligation to accept. Feel free to compare our offer with others. In fact, we encourage you to get other offers first, so we can review them together and ensure you receive the best possible deal.
How soon will I receive a cash offer after I submit my details?
You can expect to receive a cash offer on the first call.
Can I sell my house if I still have a mortgage on it?
Absolutely, you can sell your house even with a mortgage. Once our title company opens title, they’ll request a payoff letter from your lender and check for any tax liens or code violations. At closing, any outstanding liabilities will be settled from the sale proceeds.
Do you purchase homes from owners who are dealing with foreclosure?
Yes, selling your home quickly to us allows you to get the most equity out of your home and protects your credit score. Waiting for the bank to auction your home is risky and often results in less favorable outcomes. Taking action now is the best way to avoid that.
What if I'm not ready to move out right after we close the sale?
I understand that moving can take time. We can definetly extend the closing date if you need to stay a bit longer. Depending on the situation we can release a small portion of the money in escrow but we will hold a good amount until you move out.
Is it possible to sell my property if there are tenants currently living in it?
Yes, you can still sell your property even if it has tenants. If you’d rather not deal with evictions or tenant issues, don’t worry—I’ll buy your rental property and take care of everything, including the tenants.
What are the next steps once I sign the sales agreement?
Once you sign the sales agreement, the title company will open title and reach out to verify your information. They’ll start gathering all the necessary paperwork and coordinate with all relevant parties. When everything is in place, we’ll schedule a closing date that works for you.
Explain to me the inspection
After we receive the signed agreement we will send our partner investors or contractors to verify the condition of the property. We’re not worried about minor issues like broken cabinets or a missing floor tile. However, big-ticket items like a new roof, broken A/C, plumbing or electrical problems, or mold remediation are things we need to see in person so we know what we’re dealing with.
