SoCal's Most Trusted Home Buyers Since 2008
If your house needs work and you don’t have the time, money, or desire to fix it up, selling as-is may be the best option. This category is for California homeowners looking to sell their property without making repairs, upgrades, or even cleaning.
Whether your home has water damage, foundation issues, mold, fire damage, or is just outdated or cluttered, these guides will show you how to sell fast—without getting lowballed. You’ll also learn what counts as a “distressed property,” how buyers view homes in poor condition, and what to expect during an as-is sale.
These resources are built to help you avoid unnecessary costs, choose the right kind of buyer, and understand your legal obligations. No matter what shape your house is in, there’s a way to sell it without stress—and this section will show you how.
You can sell a house as-is in California, which generally means the seller is not promising to complete repairs before closing. The buyer may still inspect, request a change, or cancel when the contract allows, and the seller still has to disclose known material facts. In February 2016 we bought an inherited property on 56th Street…
Most sellers with a hoarder property assume the cleanup has to come first, and most of the time it doesn’t. Cash buyers purchase these properties as-is, and for most sellers the question is whether the math supports a cleanup before selling. On a property with solid bones in a decent market, the as-is discount on…
After a fire, the repair estimate is usually the first number a seller sees, and it’s almost never the full scope. The framing and HVAC are the parts that don’t show up until someone opens up the ceiling. That gap is what the repair-or-sell decision usually turns on, and a lot of sellers don’t have…
The question sellers ask me most often when mold is involved is whether they can actually sell. The answer is yes, and the real question is how disclosure gets handled. California does not prohibit selling a home with mold present. The seller should disclose known mold and moisture history, while a qualified remediation professional determines…
You can sell a house with foundation issues in California, and the path forward depends on the type and severity of what the inspection finds. Most sellers come in thinking the situation is worse than it is. We’ve worked through enough of these to know the outcome depends a lot on getting a real assessment…
You can sell a distressed property in California, and in most cases both a listing path and a cash-sale path are real options depending on what type of distress you’re dealing with. The better path changes based on the specifics, and both tend to stay on the table until something about the situation rules one…
A condemned house in California can still be sold, and the condemnation order transfers to whoever buys the property. The new owner takes on the obligation to remedy the violations or demolish, and the seller walks away from those obligations at closing. We’ve purchased properties with active code orders and condemnation notices across Southern California….
You can sell a house that needs a new roof, and you don’t have to replace it first. A lot of sellers assume the roof issue is going to cost them far more than it actually does, and most of those conversations end with sellers realizing the math worked out better than they expected. We’ve…
A distressed property is a home that is difficult or impossible to sell through a conventional, financed sale because of a problem with the property or the situation around it. These problems fall into four categories: condition (deferred maintenance or damage), finances (foreclosure or liens), title (probate or ownership disputes), and occupancy (non-paying tenants or…
You can sell a house with termite history, and the path forward depends on what the report says and how much of the repair scope you want to handle before listing. We’ve worked through a lot of deals across Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, San Bernardino, and Orange counties where a pest report was already…
