About Us
CashHouseSales.com is two people, not a franchise or a call center. When you send us a property address, one of us reads it and one of us calls you back.
Who we are
CashHouseSales.com is managed by Saul Navarro and Kari Carter. We're based in Bakersfield, California, and we buy houses for cash throughout the state.
The business started in early 2024 and has been BBB Accredited since December of that year. We mention the dates because we'd rather you know exactly how long we've been at this than wonder about it. We're not going to imply a decade of history we don't have.
What we hold ourselves to
Courage. Without it none of the rest holds up — including the courage to tell a seller we're not the right buyer for their house.
Respect. The cornerstone of the business, and the thing that decides how every conversation goes.
Responsibility. Keeping ourselves accountable, and operating inside our own integrity whether or not anyone is checking.
Hi, I'm Saul
I'm a graduate of UC Santa Barbara with a B.A. in Business-Economics. Between years of school and studying real estate since 2003, the lesson that has stuck with me most is how much of a smooth transaction comes down to up-front communication — saying the awkward thing early rather than letting it surface at closing.
I try to approach this consultatively rather than transactionally. Most of the time there's a deal that works for everyone involved, and finding it means understanding what you actually need before talking about numbers. Sometimes what you need isn't us, and I'd rather say so.
Something worth saying plainly: most people who contact us aren't in a normal selling situation. They're settling an estate, or dealing with a house they inherited from a parent who recently passed away, or trying to get out from under a property that costs them money every month. The house is usually the smaller half of what's going on. Listening well is most of this job.
Hi, I'm Kari
I'm a graduate of Bakersfield College with a degree in psychology. During years of working in the private sector, I took the time to surround myself with other business-minded people who had already proven themselves in real estate.
That network matters more than it might sound. When you sell to us, you're not only getting our two skill sets — you're getting people who to this day play a real role in making a quick sale possible. From luxury homes to properties needing significant rehabilitation, there's usually someone to call.
Saul and I bring different strengths to the business, and I stay involved in evaluating properties, working through decisions, and helping keep the moving parts of a transaction on track. Both of us are members of the LLC, and both are listed on the public BBB record.
How we work
- We buy as-is. No repairs, no cleanout, no staging.
- We close through independent escrow, with title work handled by a qualified title company. Escrow coordinates the closing and disburses funds, while the title process confirms ownership and identifies mortgages, liens, or other title issues that need to be addressed.
- Flexible closing. Seven days may be possible when speed matters and title and escrow allow; months out can also work when the transaction needs more time.
- No fees or commissions charged by us. Seller-side closing costs or adjustments, when applicable, are shown in the closing figures and may reduce your net proceeds.
- We don't sell your information. We're buyers, not a lead broker.
- We're not real estate agents. Neither of us holds a real estate license. We're not representing you or listing your house — we're buying it, or telling you honestly that we're not the right fit.
In some transactions we may assign our purchase contract to another buyer before closing. If that applies to your sale, it's disclosed in the written agreement.
What we won't tell you
We won't claim we pay more than everyone else, because we can't know what another buyer would offer. We won't tell you a cash sale is always the best move — if your house is in good shape and you can wait, listing it will usually net you more, and we'll say so on the phone. And we won't put testimonials on our website that you have no way to verify. Our reviews page explains that one.
If that sounds like a strange way to sell something, it's because we'd rather have a smaller number of transactions we can stand behind. More on how we're different, or see the process step by step.
