About Our Cash Home Buying Process

How fast can you buy my house in Sacramento?

We can typically close on your Sacramento home in as little as 7-14 days. Our streamlined cash buying process eliminates the need for financing approval, lengthy inspections, and negotiations that slow down traditional sales. The exact timeline depends on your specific situation and how quickly you need to close.

Do you really buy houses in any condition in Sacramento?

Absolutely! We buy houses throughout Sacramento County in any condition - from pristine move-in ready homes to properties that need major repairs. Whether your house has water damage, needs a new roof, has foundation issues, or hasn't been updated in decades, we'll still make you a fair cash offer. You don't need to fix, clean, or stage anything.

How do you determine your cash offer for Sacramento houses?

Our cash offer is based on several factors: current Sacramento market conditions, your home's location within Sacramento County, the property's condition, size and features, recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, and estimated repair costs if any are needed. We use local market data to ensure our offers are fair and competitive.

Are there any fees or commissions when you buy my Sacramento house?

No, there are absolutely no fees, commissions, or hidden costs when we buy your house. Unlike working with a real estate agent (which typically costs 6% in commissions), our cash offer is exactly what you'll receive at closing. We even cover all closing costs, so the amount we quote is what you get.

About Sacramento Market & Local Areas

Which areas of Sacramento do you serve?

We buy houses throughout all of Sacramento County, including Downtown Sacramento, East Sacramento, Midtown, North Sacramento, South Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, Fair Oaks, Carmichael, and all surrounding neighborhoods. We also serve nearby areas in Placer County and Yolo County.

Do you understand Sacramento's local real estate market?

Yes! We've been buying houses in Sacramento for over 8 years and have extensive knowledge of local market conditions, neighborhood values, and property trends. Our team includes local real estate experts who understand what makes each Sacramento area unique, from historic districts like Midtown to newer developments in Elk Grove.

Can you buy my house if it's in a flood zone or has other Sacramento-specific issues?

Yes, we regularly purchase properties with location-specific challenges including flood zones, earthquake considerations, older construction typical of Sacramento, properties near busy streets like Highway 50 or I-5, and homes with unique local issues. Our experience with Sacramento properties means we can handle these situations professionally.

Comparing to Traditional Sale Methods

How is selling to you different from listing with a Sacramento realtor?

Selling to us is much faster and more convenient than listing with a realtor. With a traditional sale, you'll pay 6% in realtor commissions, spend money on repairs and staging, deal with showings and open houses, and wait 30-45 days to close (if the buyer's financing doesn't fall through). We eliminate all of that - no commissions, no repairs needed, no showings, and we close in 7-14 days with cash.

What if my house won't sell on the Sacramento MLS?

Many houses that sit on the MLS for months sell to us quickly. This often happens because traditional buyers need financing (which can fall through), want move-in ready homes, or are scared off by needed repairs. As cash buyers, we can purchase properties that traditional buyers can't or won't buy, including homes with maintenance issues, unique layouts, or challenging locations.

Will I get less money selling to you versus the open market?

While our cash offers reflect the convenience and speed we provide, many sellers find they net similar amounts after factoring in realtor commissions (6%), repairs, staging costs, holding costs during the listing period, and the risk of deals falling through. Plus, you get certainty and can close on your timeline.

Specific Situations

Can you help if I'm facing foreclosure in Sacramento?

Yes, we frequently help Sacramento homeowners avoid foreclosure. Since we can close quickly with cash, we may be able to purchase your home before the foreclosure process completes, helping you avoid the negative credit impact. Time is critical in these situations, so contact us immediately if you're facing foreclosure.

Do you buy inherited houses in Sacramento?

Absolutely! We regularly purchase inherited properties throughout Sacramento County. We understand the complexities of probate, dealing with multiple family members, and properties that may have been vacant or neglected. We can work with estate attorneys and handle the necessary paperwork to make the process smooth for all parties involved.

Can you buy my Sacramento rental property with tenants?

Yes, we buy occupied rental properties in Sacramento. We can work with existing lease agreements and tenant situations. Whether you have great tenants or challenging tenant issues, we have experience handling both scenarios and can close without requiring you to evict tenants first.

What if I owe more than my Sacramento house is worth?

If you're upside down on your mortgage, we may still be able to help through a short sale process. We have experience working with Sacramento area lenders to negotiate short sales, which can help you avoid foreclosure and minimize credit damage. Each situation is unique, so we'd need to review your specific circumstances.
