🔑

Pick your closing date & get paid

Accept the offer and choose when you want to close — as fast as 7 days or on a timeline that works for your situation. We handle all the paperwork, pay all closing costs, and your cash is wired directly to you through a licensed California escrow at closing. You walk away with money in hand and zero headaches.

Our commitment to you — no surprises, ever

Unlike some national platforms that open with a high offer and reduce it after inspection, we believe in full transparency from the start. Once we make you an offer and you accept, we conduct a brief due diligence period — typically up to 21 days — during which we do a property walkthrough and finalize closing details. You will never receive a surprise phone call the day before closing. If anything material comes up, we discuss it openly and honestly. That's our promise.

What about iBuyers like Opendoor or Offerpad?

National iBuyers may seem convenient, but Bay Area sellers consistently report large post-inspection offer reductions — sometimes $20,000–$50,000+ below the original offer — after they're already emotionally committed to the sale. Opendoor reached a $62 million FTC settlement in 2022 for misleading sellers about their true net proceeds. We operate differently: local, transparent, and no surprise revisions. See our full FAQ →

Common questions

Quick answers

Will I really get a cash offer in 24 hours?

Yes. Once you submit your property details we review the information and get back to you with a written cash offer within 24 hours — often the same day. No waiting around for weeks like a traditional listing.

Do I need to clean or repair anything before you buy?

Absolutely not. We buy homes in any condition across the Bay Area — whether it's a pristine property or one that needs significant work. Don't spend a single dollar fixing anything before calling us.

Are there any fees or commissions?

Zero. We are not agents and we don't charge commissions. We also cover all standard closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you receive at closing through a licensed California escrow — no surprises, no last-minute deductions.

Will your offer change after the inspection?

We believe in full transparency upfront. Once you accept our offer, we conduct a brief due diligence period to finalize everything. We discuss anything openly — you will never receive a surprise reduction the day before closing. That's the opposite of how some national iBuyers operate, and it's a promise we take seriously.
