How it works
Three steps, about a week, no surprises.
No listing, no showings, no repairs, and no chain of buyers who might change their mind.
- 01
Tell us about the house
Fill in the address and a few details — it takes about a minute. No obligation, no credit check, nothing to sign.
- 02
Get a real cash offer
We look at recent local sales and the condition of the property, then call you within 24 hours with a straight number and how we got to it.
- 03
Close on your date
Accept and pick a closing date — as fast as seven days, or months out if you need time. Title handles the paperwork. You get paid.
Why sellers call us
Most people who call are not in trouble. They just want it done.
Some are, and that's fine too — we've handled all of these before and none of it fazes us.
-
Inherited a property
Probate, out-of-state, or a house full of a lifetime of belongings. We buy it as-is and handle the clear-out.
-
Facing foreclosure
A fast, certain close can stop the clock. We can often close before the auction date.
-
Tired of being a landlord
Non-paying tenants, endless repairs, midnight calls. We buy tenant-occupied properties.
-
Divorce or separation
A clean, quick sale with a date you both agree on — no showings, no drawn-out negotiation.
-
Major repairs needed
Foundation, roof, fire or water damage, code violations. You never lift a hammer.
-
Relocating for work
Pick your closing date so the sale lines up with your move instead of derailing it.
-
Downsizing
Moving to something smaller or into assisted living. Take what you want, leave the rest.
-
Vacant property
An empty house costs money every month in taxes, insurance and upkeep. Stop the bleed.
-
Behind on taxes or liens
We work with title to clear what is owed at closing so you walk away clean.
-
It just did not sell
Listed, sat, and expired. No financing to fall through and no appraisal to fail.
The honest comparison
How this stacks up against listing with an agent
Including the row most cash buyers leave off.
| Selling to Hinge Properties | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions & fees | None | Typically 5–6% of the sale price |
| Closing costs | We cover standard costs | 1–3%, usually paid by you |
| Repairs before sale | None — we buy as-is | Often required by the buyer or inspector |
| Cleaning & staging | Leave it as it stands | Expected, sometimes at your cost |
| Showings & open houses | None | Ongoing, on the buyer’s schedule |
| Financing falling through | Never — we pay cash | A common cause of collapsed deals |
| Appraisal required | No | Yes, and a low appraisal can kill the sale |
| Time to close | As little as 7 days | Commonly 45–90 days |
| Who picks the closing date | You do | Negotiated with the buyer |
| Headline sale price | Below full retail — that is the trade for speed and certainty | Usually higher, before fees, repairs and holding costs |
Figures are typical ranges for the market, not guarantees — your own costs will vary. Listing with an agent is genuinely the better choice for plenty of sellers, and if that is you after seeing our number, we will tell you so.
Questions
The things everyone asks
How much will you pay for my house?
It depends on the condition, the location, and what comparable homes nearby have recently sold for. We are not the highest number you will ever hear — a fully renovated house listed for 60 days will usually fetch more on the open market. What we offer is certainty: a cash price with no fees, no repairs, no financing risk, and a closing date you choose. We walk you through exactly how we arrived at the number so you can compare it honestly against listing.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. There is no agent commission, no listing fee, and we cover standard closing costs. The number we agree on is the number you receive at closing.
Do I need to clean or repair anything?
No. Take what you want to keep and leave the rest — furniture, appliances, anything in the garage. We handle the clear-out and every repair after closing.
How fast can you actually close?
As quickly as seven days once title is clear, because we pay cash and there is no lender underwriting the deal. If you need longer — to find your next place, to finish the school year — we will close on whatever date works for you.
Is the offer really no-obligation?
Yes. You can take the offer, sit on it, use it as a benchmark against an agent, or walk away. There is no cost and no pressure either way.
What kinds of properties do you buy?
Single-family homes, condos, townhouses, duplexes and small multi-family across Contra Costa, Alameda, Solano, Santa Clara, San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties — occupied, vacant, tenant-occupied, or mid-renovation.
Where we buy
From the East Bay to the Valley.
We buy across six counties — Contra Costa, Alameda, Solano, Santa Clara, San Joaquin, Stanislaus. If your city isn't listed, call anyway; chances are we cover it.

What a cash offer actually means (and what it does not)
Cash buyers get talked about in absolutes — always a ripoff, or always the easy way out. Neither is true. Here is the honest arithmetic.
