The process
From first call to closing, here's exactly what happens.
How it works
Three steps. Cash in hand.
The whole process is designed so you always know what happens next and what the number is.
- Step 1
Tell us about the house
Two minutes online or a quick call. A real person from our team calls you back within 10 minutes during business hours to ask a few questions and set up a walkthrough — in person or by video.
- Step 2
Get a written offer — with the math
Within 24 hours of the walkthrough you'll have a written cash offer showing exactly how we got to the number: the as-repaired value, the repair estimate, our costs and our margin.
- Step 3
Pick your closing date and get paid
Close in as little as 7 days or take up to 60. You sign at a licensed title company, the wire hits your account, and you leave behind whatever you don't want.
How we price
A sample offer, with every number shown
This is an illustration, not an offer. Your numbers will differ — but the format is exactly what you'll receive in writing.
What the house would sell for fully renovated (after-repair value)
Based on recent comparable sales nearby.
$300,000
Repairs and updates needed
Line-item estimate from the walkthrough. You see the list.
− $45,000
Holding, closing and selling costs we'll pay later
Taxes, insurance, utilities, title, commissions when we resell.
− $24,000
Our margin for taking the risk
We tell you what it is instead of hiding it.
− $30,000
Your cash offer
$201,000
Compare that with listing: on a $300,000 sale you might pay ~$18,000 in commissions, ~$45,000 in repairs to get there, plus months of carrying costs and the risk the buyer’s financing falls through. Sometimes listing still nets more. We’ll tell you if we think it does.
Closing day
You sign at a licensed title company. The wire is the same day.
A neutral third party handles the paperwork, the payoff of any mortgage or liens, and the transfer of funds. You never hand money or a deed to us directly. Take what you want from the house and leave the rest.
Our pledge
No lowball games. No bait and switch.
Most cash buyers promise speed. We promise you'll understand the offer, trust the number, and know exactly who you're dealing with.
Every number explained
Your written offer shows the as-repaired value, the repair estimate, our costs and our margin. If a number looks off, ask — we'll walk through it line by line.
A firm offer that doesn't change
We look at the house before we write the offer. There's no "inspection period" where the price mysteriously drops. What we offer is what you get, unless something material wasn't disclosed.
Real people, real closings
You'll talk to Mike Batista, not a call center. Proof of funds on request. You sign at a licensed title company, and your deposit is held there — never by us.
Honest comparison
Selling to us vs. listing with an agent
A cash sale isn't right for everyone. If you have time, a house in good shape and no urgency, listing may net you more. Here's the real trade-off.
| Selling to Batista Properties | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions & fees | $0 | 5–6% of the sale price |
| Repairs & cleaning | None — sell as-is | Usually required before listing |
| Showings & open houses | None | Weeks of them |
| Closing costs | We pay standard costs | Seller typically pays 1–3% |
| Time to close | 7–60 days, you choose | 60–120+ days on average |
| Financing risk | None — cash, no contingency | Buyer's loan can fall through |
| Sale price | Below full retail value | Closer to full retail value |
Figures for listing with an agent are typical ranges and vary by market. Our offers are below full market value in exchange for speed, certainty and zero costs.
