Frequently asked questions

We start with what the house would sell for fully renovated, based on recent nearby sales. From that we subtract the realistic cost of repairs, our holding and selling costs, and a fair margin so we can stay in business. The result is our cash offer, and we will walk you through the math line by line.

No. We are not agents, so there is no commission, and we pay standard closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you should expect at closing, less any loan payoff or liens on the property.

As fast as 7 to 14 days through a licensed California escrow company, or as slow as you need. Many sellers choose 30 to 60 days so they have time to move.

No. We buy as-is. Leave whatever you do not want, and do not fix anything.

Never. The offer is free and there is no pressure. Many people use it as a benchmark while they weigh other options, and we are fine with that.

No. We are a real estate investment company. We buy properties directly for our own portfolio and, on some purchases, with our partner investors. Every purchase closes through a licensed escrow or title company, and we disclose our role as a principal in every agreement.

Single-family houses, condos, duplexes and small multifamily, mobile homes on owned land, and vacant lots anywhere in California. Any condition, any situation.

An agent markets the house to the public, which can bring a higher price but usually takes months, requires repairs and showings, and costs 5 to 6 percent in commissions plus closing costs. We are a guaranteed sale on your timeline with no fees. Which is better depends on your house and your situation, and we will tell you honestly if we think listing is the right move.

Yes. Condos, townhomes, mobile homes on owned land, duplexes and small multifamily, and vacant lots. Mobile homes in parks are decided case by case.

That is normal. Escrow requests a payoff from your lender and pays it from the sale proceeds. You receive whatever is left.

Yes. Back taxes, HOA dues, judgment liens, and code enforcement liens are all paid through escrow at closing, out of the purchase price.

No. We handle sales for out-of-state and out-of-country owners with mobile or online notaries and wired funds.

All of California. Our city pages cover Hesperia, Victorville, Apple Valley, San Bernardino, Fontana, Rialto, Palmdale, Lancaster, Pomona, Compton, Long Beach, and Inglewood, but we buy anywhere in the state.
