We provide a written cash offer within 24 hours of a property walkthrough. In some cases we can make a preliminary offer same-day based on the property address and a brief call.

Process

Do I need to make repairs before selling?+

No. We buy houses in any condition — fire damage, water damage, foundation issues, full of belongings, or just plain outdated. You don't need to clean, repair, or stage anything.

Do I need to make repairs before selling?+

No. Castle Buys Houses buys houses in any condition in Oregon — fire damage, foundation issues, hoarder situations, water damage, code violations, full gut jobs. You do not need to clean, repair, or stage anything before selling.

What types of properties do you buy?+

Castle Buys Houses buys single-family homes, duplexes, mobile homes on land, and small multifamily properties throughout Oregon. We buy inherited properties, occupied homes, vacant homes, and properties in any condition.

What types of properties do you buy?+

We buy single-family homes, condos, townhouses, duplexes, and vacant land across Oregon. Whether the property is owner-occupied, rented, vacant, or in probate — we can make an offer.

Do I need to be present at closing?+

Not necessarily. We can coordinate remote signings via mobile notary or title company, depending on your preference. Many of our sellers have closed while out of state.

What happens after I submit my information?+

We'll reach out within 24 hours to learn more about your property. If it's a good fit, we'll schedule a quick walkthrough and present a written cash offer — usually within 24–48 hours of seeing the home.

What happens after I accept your offer?+

We open escrow with a licensed Oregon title company, order a title search, and schedule closing. You'll receive a closing disclosure showing all numbers at least 3 days before closing. On closing day, funds are wired to your account.

Can you help if I'm behind on mortgage payments?+

Yes. We work with homeowners who are behind on payments, in pre-foreclosure, or facing a trustee sale. The sooner you reach out, the more options you have. We can often close before a foreclosure sale date.

Can you help if I'm in foreclosure?+

Yes. If you've received a Notice of Default in Oregon, you likely have 90–150 days before a trustee sale is scheduled. A cash sale can stop the foreclosure process entirely and protect your credit. We've helped many Oregon homeowners avoid trustee sales.

Can you buy a property that's in probate?+

Yes. We work with executors, estate attorneys, and probate courts. We can provide a written offer that satisfies Oregon probate court requirements and close on the estate's timeline.

Can you buy a home with tenants still in it?+

Yes. We buy occupied properties with tenants in place. You don't need to evict anyone before selling to us. We take over the landlord relationship at closing.

Pricing & Fees

Are there any fees or commissions?+

None. We pay all closing costs. There are no agent commissions, no inspection fees, and no surprise deductions at closing. The offer we make is the amount you receive.

How do you determine your offer price?+

We look at the property's current condition, recent comparable sales in the area, and the cost of any repairs needed. We aim to make a fair offer that works for both sides. There's no obligation to accept.

Are there any fees or commissions?+

There are no fees or commissions when selling to Castle Buys Houses. We pay all standard closing costs. The offer amount we make is the exact amount you receive at closing.

How do you determine your offer price?+

We calculate our offer based on the property's current condition, comparable recent sales in the area, and the estimated cost to bring the home to market condition. We are transparent about our math and will walk you through our offer calculation.

Will I get fair market value?+

A cash offer will typically be below full retail market value — that's the trade-off for the speed, certainty, and zero cost of selling. However, once you factor in agent commissions (5–6%), repair costs, holding costs during a listing, and the risk of deals falling through, many sellers net a similar or better amount selling to us.
