We Buy Houses in Fresno, California

If you’re ready to sell your house fast in Fresno, you probably don’t want weeks of showings or a buyer’s loan dictating your schedule. Cash for Keys buys homes directly across the city—as-is, with no commissions, no repairs, and no surprises at closing. We’ll put a clear cash number in your hands within 24–48 hours and close on the date you choose—often about 10 days, or later if that fits your calendar.


We’re a California-only buyer led by Michael Soares and Taylor Scigliano. Our way of working is simple: show the math, respect your time, and stay neighborly. If listing on the MLS would likely leave you with more net even after fees and time, we’ll tell you. When as-is, privacy, and a date-certain matter more, we’re built for the Valley.

How can I sell my house in Fresno, CA?

Fresno days are timed around 99, 41, 180, 168, school schedules, FAX runs (especially the Q BRT corridor), and heat/air-quality advisories. Our process is compact and predictable—short calls, one quick look, and a closing you can plan your life around.


1) A straightforward conversation about your goal.
Tell us what you’re trying to solve: a tower-adjacent place near Olive Ave. that needs more work than you want to fund, a rental in Sunnyside that keeps turning over, an inherited home in Fig Garden packed to the rafters, or a condo near River Park where HOA notes scared off buyers. We’ll map the options in plain English—no pressure, no “scripts.”


2) One brief walkthrough (10–15 minutes).
No staging. No weekend “cleanup sprint.” We verify repair scope and price with Fresno comps, not a national spreadsheet: postwar streets in Fig Garden, mid-century clusters in Sunnyside, smaller lots closer to the Tower District, and northside homes feeding toward River Park and 168. We also account for Valley realities—HVAC age, roof heat exposure, window seals, and exterior envelope wear.


3) A written cash offer in 24–48 hours—with the numbers spelled out.
We show you the arithmetic (you’ll see the line items). If it works, pick your day—
~10 days is common—and we pay 100% of closing costs, including transfer tax, so your net is clean. Need a few days after recording to match movers with a FAT flight or to move items from storage? We can arrange a short, written stay-after-closing so you’re not racing the clock.

Why Fresno Homeowners Choose Cash for Keys

We publish the math.
Our offers follow the same framework—and we put it in writing:


Offer = ARV (After-Repair Value) − Repair Costs − ~10% resale/transaction costs − ~10% profit.


You’ll see the comps we used, the repair budget we assumed, and the two ~10% buckets. Clarity first.


As-is—with no price haircut after inspection.
We don’t come back to chip away at your number. No punch-list, no cleaning,
no re-trades. If we miss something material during our quick visit, that’s on us—not on your proceeds.


California-only underwriting, Fresno-aware.
A 1950s ranch with evap-cooler history near Sunnyside is not the same as a 1990s two-story off 168 or a craftsman near the Tower District. We price to Fresno micro-markets, HVAC realities, and how buyers here actually move.


Your date, your pace.
Close fast, or aim after a school break, a
FAX Q schedule change, back-to-back FAT runs, or a caregiving commitment. If you need a few days after closing, we’ll paper it cleanly.



We’ll compete—and be candid.
Bring us a written number from another cash home buyer in Fresno. We’ll try to match or beat it on price, terms, or speed. If keeping theirs is truly better for you, we’ll say so.


$0 at closing.
We cover escrow, title, transfer tax, recording, and documents. You pay no commissions, no “admin” or “service” fees—just sign and get funded.

Fresno Problems We Actually Solve (Valley-Specific, Real-World Snapshots)

Every sale sits inside a life situation. Our role is to reduce friction and keep the week sane.


Payment Pressure / Pre-Foreclosure

Notices arrive, and the calendar marches on. Weekend showings near the Tower District or Blackstone don’t fit your reality. We coordinate payoff through escrow, set a date-certain close, and keep the home off the parade route.
Valley snapshot: A technician who splits shifts along 41 needed a sure exit before a department change. We verified payoff midweek, presented the number in writing the next day, and recorded on a Tuesday—no open houses, no “maybe later” phone calls.


Inherited Home / Probate + Clean-Out

A long-held house off Palm Ave. can hold decades of family life. You shouldn’t have to empty it like a museum. We work with your attorney and title, buy as-is, and give the family time to remove what matters.
Valley snapshot: Three siblings—one in Southeast Fresno, one in Clovis, one out of state—signed remotely. We did a single 15-minute visit, documented the repair budget (roof, panel, windows), and closed the week after the court’s order.


Tenant-Occupied / Turnover Fatigue

Retail buyers get uneasy with possession timelines, notices, or lingering make-ready. We price to the current situation and keep the timeline precise.
Valley snapshot: A duplex near Belmont had one unit month-to-month and one vacancy that needed flooring plus outlets. We underwrote both conditions and closed on the seller’s chosen Friday.


HVAC / Roof / Envelope Shock

Valley summers expose roofs, ducts, and seals. Retail buyers see “big ticket” and head for the door. We put the repair cost into our number up front.
Valley snapshot: A home near Sunnyside Country Club needed a condenser, ducts, and a partial roof overlay. We priced it in and still hit the owner’s target date.


Heat, Smoke, and Fog Timing

Check Before You Burn, Valley Air District alerts, and tule fog are seasonal facts. Showings can stall; logistics get messy. We keep it boring—in the best way: one visit, written number, date-certain, funds on cue.
Valley snapshot: A seller who travels often via FAT wanted certainty between two trips. We set a 10-day close and allowed a 3-day stay-after-closing to finish packing without stress.


Condo/HOA & Assessments Near River Park

Special assessments and reserve studies spook retail buyers. We read the docs, price it cleanly, and avoid the committee parade.
Valley snapshot: A condo a few turns from River Park had an upcoming exterior envelope project. We accounted for the assessment and still closed on the owner’s timetable.



Thin Equity / Carrying Cost Burn

When there isn’t room for retail punch-lists, time is expensive—insurance, utilities, HOA, yard. We’ll lay out payoff math and give you a path comparison based on facts, not hope.
Valley snapshot: A seller off Shaw was tired of summer bills and drip-line repairs. We set a fast close and shut off another cycle of monthly burn.

Houses We Buy in Fresno (Any Condition, Any Situation)

We purchase single-family homes, condos, townhomes, small multifamily, and apartments—as-is, with no cleaning or repairs. If you’re thinking, “I want to sell my house in Fresno without pouring cash into it,” this is for you.


  • Outdated / “needs everything.” Original tile, cabinets past their prime, worn flooring—priced into our offer so you spend $0 before closing.

  • Roof / HVAC / Electrical / Plumbing. Loan-killers in retail. We budget the fix upfront and keep the sale certain.

  • Water, Smoke, or Mold. We incorporate remediation; you keep your calendar.

  • Garage Conversions / Unpermitted Work / ADUs. Retail contracts stall; we buy as-is and figure it out after closing.

  • Solar Leases & PPAs. We underwrite the agreement and roll it into the number.

  • Busy Corridors / Unique Lots. Homes near major streets or commercial edges can shrink buyer pools; we price trade-offs fairly.

  • TIC/Condo with Assessments. We parse the docs and give one clean number.

Small Multifamily (duplex–fourplex and up). Partial vacancy, older panels, tuck-under parking—we fold rent, repairs, and timeline into the offer.

Listing with an Agent vs. Selling Direct for Cash

List with an agent when the home is close to “show-ready,” you can wait out buyer financing and appraisals, and you’re comfortable negotiating repairs.

 Pick a direct cash sale when you want as-is, quiet, $0 costs, and a date-certain close with no loan in the loop. A direct cash sale fits when you want as-is, quiet, $0 costs, and a date-certain close with no lender involved.

What changes for you Agent (MLS) Cash for Keys
Commissions ~6% $0
Closing costs ~2% (seller share) $0 (we pay, incl. transfer tax)
Prep/Repairs Usually required None (as-is)
Showings Many One quick on-site look
Appraisal/Loan Risk High None (our cash)
Price After Inspection Can drop Doesn’t change (no credits)
Timeline 30–90+ days ~10 days (you choose)
Privacy Low High (quiet & simple)

If the MLS path would likely net you more—even after fees and time—we’ll point you there. If speed, certainty, and as-is matter most, we’re your buyer.

How We Price Your Home & How the Closing Works (Numbers + Timeline, One Section)

Both the math and the schedule are on the table from day one.

Our pricing formula (always the same):


Offer = ARV (After-Repair Value) − Repair Costs − ~10% resale/transaction costs − ~10% profit


Illustrative Fresno example (for clarity):


  • ARV: $395,000

  • Repairs: −$55,000 (roof + HVAC + interior refresh)

  • Resale/transaction (~10%): −$39,500

  • Profit (~10%): −$39,500
    = Transparent cash offer: $261,000

We’ll walk micro-area comps (Tower vs. Fig Garden vs. Sunnyside vs. north-of-180/168) and show the repair lines (roof/HVAC/electrical/plumbing, kitchen/bath, exterior). Replaced the condenser last summer? Upgraded the panel? Added insulation? Tell us—we’ll update the inputs and adjust the number.


Timeline & funds (what actually happens):


  • Written offer within 24–48 hours of our quick visit

  • Close in ~10 days (or the date you choose)

  • We pay all closing costs (escrow, title, transfer tax, recording, docs)

  • Funds delivered by wire or cashier’s check via escrow—professional and secure

  • Short stay-after-closing available if you need a few days to finish moving

  • No open houses, no contractor juggling, no lender delays

No mid-deal price erosion—the number you accept is the number that funds

A Fresno Pricing Lens (Tower ≠ Fig Garden ≠ Sunnyside ≠ North of 180)

Fresno value is micro-geography + systems + season:


  • Tower District: walkability and vintage character offset smaller lots and older systems; envelope health and electrical capacity weigh heavily.

  • Fig Garden: mid-century charm with tree canopy; roofs, windows, and HVAC loads are common underwriting lines.

  • Sunnyside: larger parcels, irrigation history, and commute patterns toward 180 and 41 shape buyer pools.

  • North of 180 toward 168/River Park: school patterns and 168 access matter; newer stock often still needs roof/HVAC refresh as it ages.

Layer in Valley Air District alerts, tule fog mornings, and triple-digit weeks. Those don’t change the appraisal form, but they do change showing schedules and stress. We comp inside this reality and share our assumptions so you can make a calm, informed decision.


Fresno is also multilingual by default—English alongside Spanish, Hmong, and long-standing Armenian community presence. We keep communication clear, can loop in a trusted helper if you like, and handle documents at a pace that fits your household.
