Houses and land, in any condition, bought with our own funds — or kept and managed for you, if selling is not what you actually want. Tell us the situation and we will tell you straight which of those suits you, including when the answer is none of them.
Three things, and we will tell you which one you need.
Most companies in this trade do one of these and pretend the other two do not exist. Doing all three is what lets us say “sell it” to one owner and “keep it” to the next without either answer costing us anything.
Sell your house
You own a house and you want it sold
The straightforward one. Any condition — including the ones an agent would tell you to fix first — bought with our own funds, closing on your date.
Any condition, including fire, water, foundation and code violations
No fees, no commissions, and we cover standard closing costs
We show the working, and say so when listing would net you more
A vacant lot, an inherited parcel, acreage that was going to be built on one day. No income, a tax bill every year, and buyers who cannot get it financed.
Vacant lots, infill parcels and acreage
Including land conventional lenders will not touch
Send the parcel number — we can start from the county record
For the owner who does not actually want to sell — they want to stop being on call. We run the tenancy end to end and you keep the property and the upside.
Leasing, screening and the lease itself
Rent, arrears and a statement your accountant can use
Maintenance, inspections and the rules that keep changing
The trade door. A published fix and flip buy box and a same-day answer if you are bringing a deal; an off-market buyers list if you are looking for one.
Wholesalers: proof of funds, a straight yes or no, and we close
Investors: off-market assignments, with the numbers shown
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.
Land you are done holding
A vacant lot, an inherited parcel, acreage that was going to be built on one day. Taxes every year, no income, and a conventional buyer who cannot get it financed. We pay cash for land.
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.

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

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 — occupied, vacant, tenant-occupied, or mid-renovation. We also buy land: vacant residential lots, infill parcels and property on acreage, including the ones a conventional lender will not touch. We are based in the East Bay and buy across six Northern California counties, and we also buy in Nevada and Southern California. The full buy box, including what we pass on, is on the investors page.
The 120-day rule, the Notice of Default, the three months that follow, and the twenty-day notice before the auction. What each stage means and what you can still do at each one.
Probate, trusts, Proposition 19 and the property tax bill nobody warns you about. A plain walkthrough of what stands between you and selling a house you have just inherited.
