Common Questions Answered
FAQ: Selling Your Duplex to Castle Hill Duplex
What does selling my duplex to a cash buyer mean?
Selling your duplex to a cash buyer means you sell directly to a company or individual who has the funds available to purchase your property without relying on mortgage financing. This results in a faster, hassle-free transaction compared to selling through a traditional real estate agent.
Most businesses that claim to be cash house buyers in Austin are actually wholesalers—middlemen who don’t buy your home themselves but instead sell your contract to an investor. This means your sale isn’t guaranteed, and if they fail to find a buyer, you’ll have to start over. Castle Hill Duplex is a genuine cash duplex buyer and not a wholesaler.
How do I get a cash offer for my duplex?
Simply fill out our cash offer request form and we’ll reach out to you promptly. You can also call or text us at (512) 354-1212 if you prefer. You can read about the whole process here: How to Sell My Duplex Fast for Cash
How fast can I sell my duplex?
With Castle Hill Duplex, you can close in as little as 7 days, depending on your situation. Unlike traditional sales, there are no lender approvals, inspections, or delays, which means a much quicker sale. We guarantee that we can close on your duplex within ten days of you accepting our cash offer, but it’s often less. The sooner you contact us and set up a quick walk-through, the better. If you’re not in a hurry, that’s okay too. We will discuss your full situation and find something that works.

Are you a wholesaler or the actual duplex buyer?
We are the actual cash buyer, not a wholesaler! Most businesses that claim to be cash buyers in Austin are actually wholesalers—middlemen who don’t buy your duplex themselves but instead sell your contract to an investor. This means your sale isn’t guaranteed, and if they fail to find a buyer, you’ll have to start over.
Unlike wholesalers, Castle Hill Duplex is the actual, all cash duplex buyer. We purchase duplexes directly with our own funds, with no intermediaries or lenders involved, ensuring a smooth and reliable transaction. Many wholesalers lack the capital or experience to close deals, and some aren’t even based in Austin. If they can’t successfully broker a deal, the sale will fall through at the last minute, causing stress and delays. If you have questions about working with wholesalers, give us a call.

How do you determine the cash offer price for my duplex?
Good question! Unlike many cash buyers who make lowball offers with no explanation, we use a clear and specific process to determine our fair offers.
We start by estimating your duplex’s value after repairs and improvements. Then, we subtract the estimated cost of renovations and typical holding expenses like insurance and utilities. Lastly, we add a reasonable profit margin as compensation for taking on the risk of renovating and then selling the duplex. The result is your cash offer—with no fees, commissions, closing costs, or chances of the deal falling through.
There will be no pressure or tight deadlines. If our cash offer makes sense to you, great! If not, no hard feelings. We know property owners understand their duplex’s worth, so we don’t play pricing games. Most sellers find our offers among the highest they receive by other cash buyers or wholesalers. We have learned over the decades that making competitive offers and delivering on our promises for a fast and easy sale, allow us to maintain our stellar reputation and in turn, purchase more duplexes at fair prices in the future.

If it’s a fair price, how do you make money?
We make a living by purchasing duplexes and other properties at a fair and competitive price, then improving them efficiently and reselling them for a profit. Since we buy duplexes as-is, without agents, commissions, or costly repairs, we save on expenses that traditional buyers typically face. Our profit comes from either renovating and selling the duplex again at a higher market value or holding it as a rental investment and letting it appreciate. This allows us to offer you a fair, no-obligation cash duplex offer while ensuring a win-win situation. There is risk involved and sometimes we have to take a loss, especially when the housing market takes a dip.

Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs?
Not at all! The entire cash offer amount will be yours. We cover all closing costs and since we are a genuine cash duplex buyer (not a real estate agent or wholesaler) there are no typical real estate fees or commissions to pay.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my duplex?
No! We buy duplexes as-is, meaning you don’t have to spend time or money on repairs or renovations. Whether your duplex is outdated, damaged, or needs major repairs, we’ll make you a fair cash duplex offer. Learn more: Sell a duplex in need of repairs in Austin, TX.
What if I’m behind on mortgage payments or facing foreclosure?
We specialize in helping homeowners in financial distress. Selling your home for cash can help you avoid foreclosure, protect your credit, and give you a fresh start. Learn more: How to Sell My House Fast to Avoid Foreclosure in Austin, TX.
Why sell to a cash buyer rather than listing with an agent?
Cash Buyer: Fast sale (7-10 days), no repairs, no agent fees, guaranteed closing.
Realtor Listing: Can take months, requires repairs, showings, negotiations, etc.

“I not only bought, but also sold my investment duplex through Robert, who came highly recommended by a friend of mine. Robert and his team are consummate professionals and he has been a great resource for me over the years. When it came time to sell my property, he was the obvious choice. We listed in record time, received an excellent offer and closed within a week. I was evacuated during all of this, due to fires, but Robert did everything to insure that the transaction was easy for me and went through without a hitch. I’m in hospitality as a profession, and recognize outstanding customer service when I see it….and Robert is a simply amazing.”

“Approaching our retirement, Sue and I contacted Robert with a proposal to work together on another sale of our remaining duplexes. It was, as most real-estate transactions are, challenging, but solvable. Robert (and of course his capable team) deserves a lot of praise for providing level headed response/s, and action/s to every glitch that popped up. Much to our relief, I might add. Trustworthy, absolutely.”
