Southern California Cash Home Buyers
Sell Your House Fast for Cash in Southern California
Most sellers we work with in Southern California spent months trying to figure out what to do before calling us. We start with a walkthrough and usually give you a written cash offer within 24 hours, then we buy the house as-is and set the closing around your schedule if the number works for you.

Who We Are
Southern California Cash Home Buyers Since 2008
SoCal Home Buyers is a family-run business, me and my wife Andrea with a small local team here in Southern California. I spent seven years, starting in 2003, as a certified residential appraiser, and Andrea Van Soest, CA DRE #01505854, has held a California real estate salesperson license since 2005, so we look at nearby closed sales and the house itself instead of relying on an automated estimate.
When you call, you’re talking to us directly, not a call center in another state. Since 2008 we’ve bought over 400 homes across Southern California, most of them off-market, for owners whose timeline or property condition made a traditional listing a poor fit.
15+ years in real estate, always looking for the best solution for our sellers and going above and beyond for your satisfaction.
California Licensed Realtor since 1990, bringing warmth and professionalism to every transaction from offer to close.
LinkedInWhy Sellers Choose Us
Sell Without the Hassle of Listing
We help homeowners across Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties.
Written Offer After the Walkthrough
We look at nearby closed sales and the condition we saw, then usually send the written offer within 24 hours.
Sell Completely As-Is
Foundation issues, fire damage, full of stuff, tenant in the bedroom. Whatever the situation, nothing needs fixing first.
No Fees or Commissions
We don’t take a commission or subtract our standard closing costs. Your mortgage, taxes, liens, and any other title payoffs still come out of the sale through escrow.
Close on Your Timeline
Most of our purchases close in 3 to 5 weeks, and we build the date around the time you need to move.
Stay After Closing if Needed
Need a few extra weeks after closing to move out? That’s a conversation we’re happy to have.
We’ve Been Doing This Since 2008
More than 400 homes bought across Southern California, an A+ rating with the BBB and more than 50 reviews on Google.
What We Handle
We Buy Houses in Any Situation
Most of the sellers we work with have a situation that makes a traditional listing difficult. Some of the more common ones are below.
If any of these sound familiar, call us or use our short cash-offer form. There’s no obligation, just a clear answer on what we can do.
How We Compare
Listing vs. Selling Directly vs. an iBuyer
We’re not the right choice for everybody. If your house is in great shape and you have time to wait for the right buyer, listing with a realtor will probably get you more money. The situations where we make more sense are when timeline matters, the house has issues, or you just don’t want to deal with the listing process. We’re cash buyers, so take that for what it’s worth.
Listing With a Realtor
✗ Agent compensation is negotiable, with preparation, concessions, and carrying costs on top
✗ Preparation, photos, buyer visits, and time on market
✗ A financed buyer still needs underwriting, appraisal, and escrow
✗ Financing and appraisal contingencies can affect the closing
✓ Might net more if the house is in great shape and time isn’t a factor
Selling Directly to Us
✓ We cover our standard closing costs and don’t charge a commission
✓ We usually send a written cash offer within 24 hours of the walkthrough
✓ Most of our purchases close in 3 to 5 weeks, and the date can follow your move
✓ You talk to us directly, not a call center
✓ We walk the house before the written offer, so we don’t come back asking for a repair discount
Sell to an iBuyer
✗ Service fees and repair deductions vary by company
✗ The initial estimate may change after the company reviews the property
✗ Availability and closing options depend on the market
✗ The process runs through a larger corporate platform
~ Convenient in markets where the company is actively buying
