6% The commission you don't pay when you sell direct

Home solutions for you

An inherited house, a parent's home after a move into senior care, or a rental you're ready to be done with — managing a sale from a distance is a different kind of hard. We buy directly, so you don't have to coordinate repairs, showings, or contractors for a house you're not standing in every day.

Common Situations

Solutions for you and your home

If any of this sounds familiar, this is the kind of sale we handle most.

An inherited house

You're now responsible for a property, possibly along with siblings, and probably don't live nearby. Clearing it out and prepping it for a traditional sale takes time none of you may have.

A parent moving into senior care

The house is emptying out at the same time you're managing a difficult transition for someone you love. The last thing you need is a renovation project.

A rental you're ready to let go of

Tenant turnover, maintenance calls, and distance have worn you down. You want out without a drawn-out listing process.

The Old Way

What a traditional sale asks of you from a distance

Listing a house you don't live in the normal way usually means:

— Finding and vetting contractors for repairs, sight unseen, and hoping the work is done right
— Flying or driving in repeatedly for showings, inspections, and walkthroughs
— Paying property taxes, insurance, and utilities every month the house sits empty and unsold
— Coordinating with an agent, a buyer's agent, an inspector, and a lender you've never met, all by phone
— A buyer's financing falling through months into the process, sending you back to square one
— Clearing out decades of belongings on a deadline, often while grieving or managing a family transition at the same time
The Direct Way

What selling directly removes

✓ No repairs to coordinate — we buy the house as-is, in whatever condition it's in
✓ No showings to schedule or travel back for
✓ No need to clear out the house first — leave what you don't want, we handle it
✓ One point of contact throughout — me, Phil, not a chain of agents and inspectors
✓ A closing date that works for you and your family, not a buyer's mortgage timeline
✓ Our own crew (Cast Contracting) handles any work the house needs after closing — so our number doesn't move after a closer look
This is often more about time and peace of mind than the highest possible price. If getting full retail value matters more to your family than speed and simplicity, listing traditionally may be the better fit — and we'll say so honestly if you ask us.
About Us

Meet Phil

Phil Castaneda, owner of Six Percent Saved

I'm Phil Castaneda. When you're handling a house from out of town — or from across the same city while juggling everything else — the last thing you need is another stranger to coordinate with. So you won't have to. I answer the phone myself, I do the walkthrough in person, I'm the one who hands you the offer, and I'm at the table when we close, no matter where you're calling in from.

I also own Cast Contracting, a general contracting company here in the St. Louis area. My own crew does whatever work the house needs after closing, which is why I don't need to pad my number for unknowns the way a buyer without a crew does.
