We Buy Houses in Long Beach, California

If you want to sell your house fast in Long Beach, you probably don’t want endless showings, HOA committees, or a buyer’s lender telling you when you can move. Cash for Keys buys homes directly—as-is, no commissions, no surprise fees, and no post-inspection price games. We put a clear cash number in your hands within 24–48 hours, and we close on your date—often about 10 days, or later if you need more runway.



We’re a California-only buyer founded by Michael Soares and Taylor Scigliano. Our promise is simple: show our math, respect your time, and be straight with you. If listing with an agent would likely leave you with more even after fees and time, we’ll say so. When as-is, privacy, and a date-certain matter most, we’re built for Long Beach..

How can I sell my house in Long Beach?

Life here runs on shifts at the Port, commutes on the 710/405/605, the A Line from Downtown, and school calendars—plus those May Gray/June Gloom mornings that lift just as the afternoon picks up. Our process is short, predictable, and designed not to hijack your week.


Step 1 — A real conversation about your goal.
Tell us what you’re solving: a Cambodia Town duplex where a long-term tenant needs careful handling, a Belmont Shore bungalow where sea air has been rough on the exterior, a condo by East Village Arts District that’s facing an assessment, or a Bixby Knolls mid-century with systems at the end of their life. We’ll map your options in plain English—no pressure.


Step 2 — One quick walkthrough (10–15 minutes).
No staging. No rush cleanup. We confirm repair scope and comp the home inside its micro-market—canal-side quirks in Naples, beach-adjacent wear in Belmont Shore, vintage stock on Retro Row/4th Street, larger lots north of Bixby Knolls, and Downtown high-rise/HOA dynamics near the A Line terminal. We price like locals who know how the 710 corridor or coastal climate affects buyer pools and repairs.


Step 3 — A written cash offer in 24–48 hours—with the numbers.
We show exactly how we arrived at the price. If it works, you pick the closing date—
~10 days is common—and we pay 100% of closing costs, including transfer tax. Need a couple of days after recording to coordinate movers or line up the Passport circulator/A Line commute from your next place? We can set a short, written stay-after-closing so nobody’s sprinting.



Made for the 710/405/605, A Line, and Marine-Layer Mornings

Why Long Beach Sellers Choose Cash for Keys

Open-book pricing (always the same formula).


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. No mystery math.


As-is—with no “price haircut” after inspections.
We don’t come back asking for credits. No repairs. No cleaning. No re-trades.


California-only underwriting, Long Beach-aware.
A Naples canal home, a Belmont Shore beach bungalow, a Bixby Knolls mid-century, a Cambodia Town four-plex, or a Downtown condo by the A Line—they underwrite differently. We buy only in CA, and our comp sets reflect Long Beach realities.


Your calendar, not ours.
Close fast, or pick a later date around shift changes at the
Port, school calendars, or a move across town. Need a short stay-after-closing? We’ll write it clearly.


We’ll compete—and be candid.
Already have a written number from another cash home buyer in Long Beach? Bring it. We’ll work 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 and no junk fees.

Long Beach Situations We Actually Solve (Neighborhood-True, Lived-In Examples)

Every sale lives inside a life situation. Our job is to lower the stress and keep your week on track.


Tenant-Occupied / Cambodia Town Considerations

Retail buyers get skittish around possession timing and longstanding households. We price to the current status, keep the timeline date-certain, and stay respectful.
LB snapshot: A family with a triplex on Anaheim St. needed funds to relocate parents closer to care. We underwrote to existing tenancies, presented our number in writing, and closed on the Friday that worked around Khmer New Year plans—no open houses, no flyers, no neighbor tours.


Coastal Wear & Tear (Belmont Shore / Naples)

Salt air, sun, and older materials can scare off retail buyers and their lenders. We budget exterior work and window/door packages into the offer—so you’re not managing crews.
LB snapshot: A Naples cottage had weathered stucco, rusted railings, and older sliders. We priced the envelope refresh, kept the sale private, and timed closing between HOA meetings and the seller’s move.


Port Shift Schedules / A Line Commutes

When your next step is timed to a new shift dockside—or a daily run on the A Line—a 60–90 day listing works against you. We keep it boring (in the best way): written number, date-certain close, funds on cue.
LB snapshot: A crane operator moving near Norwalk needed certainty before roster changes. We recorded mid-week, and the seller used a two-day stay-after-closing to avoid burning PTO.


HOA Assessments / Downtown & East Village

Reserve studies and upcoming facade or elevator projects make retail buyers nervous. We read the docs, price it cleanly, and skip the committee parade.
LB snapshot: A condo near East Village Arts District faced a garage remediation assessment. We accounted for it up front and still hit the seller’s target timeline.


Air-Quality Concerns Near the 710

Diesel and truck traffic along the 710 can limit buyer pools. We factor that in so you’re not punished mid-escrow by “area surprises.”
LB snapshot: A West Long Beach house near a busy corridor had great bones but nervous retail feedback. We priced the location reality and closed quietly—no touch-ups, no second escrow.


Inherited Home / Full Clean-Out

A longtime Bixby Knolls home can hold decades of life. You shouldn’t have to empty it like a museum. We buy as-is, give time for keepsakes, and coordinate with your attorney if there’s probate.
LB snapshot: Two siblings (one in Signal Hill) signed remotely. We did a 15-minute look, documented the repair lines, and closed the week after court authorization.


Unpermitted Work / Garage Conversions

Retail contracts stall when permits are unclear. We buy as-is and sort path-to-permit after closing.
LB snapshot: A Retro Row bungalow had a studio carved from the garage in the 90s. We underwrote the situation, explained our math, and finalized on the seller’s chosen Friday.


Tsunami-Zone Logistics & Coastal Notices

City comms use official “tsunami hazard zone/evacuation route” language for beach blocks. That’s normal here. We keep the process clean—one visit, math on paper, date-certain close—without turning your move into a public event.
LB snapshot: A Belmont Shore owner aimed to move before summer crowds. We set closing just after a long-planned trip and covered all closing costs.

Houses We Buy in Long Beach (Any Condition, Any Situation)

We purchase single-family homes, condos, townhomes, small multifamily, and apartments across Long Beach—as-is, with no cleaning or repairs.


  • Outdated / needs everything. Original kitchens, tired baths, worn flooring—priced into our number so you spend $0 before close.

  • Roof / foundation / electrical / plumbing / HVAC. Loan-killers in retail. We budget the fix upfront and keep your sale certain.

  • Coastal envelope wear. Salt air, stucco, railings, sliders—we fold it into the offer.

  • Water, smoke, or mold. We include remediation, you keep your calendar.

  • Solar leases & PPAs. We underwrite the agreement and roll it into our price.

  • Unpermitted ADUs / garage conversions. Retail stalls; we buy as-is and sort next steps after.

  • Busy corridors / location trade-offs. Near the 710 or port-adjacent? We price the reality fairly.

  • Condos/TIC/HOA with assessments. We read the docs and deliver one clean number.

Small multifamily (duplex–fourplex and up). Partial vacancy, older panels, tuck-under parking—we underwrite rent, repairs, and timeline together.

Listing with an Agent vs. Selling Direct for Cash

Agent + MLS is great when the home is show-ready, you’re comfortable with repair negotiations, and appraisal/loan timelines won’t disrupt your plans.

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

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 MLS would likely net you meaningfully more even after costs 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

You get both the math and the schedule on day one.

Our pricing formula (always the same):


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


Illustrative Long Beach example (for clarity):

  • ARV: $885,000

  • Repairs: −$120,000 (envelope refresh, roof, panel, baths)

  • Resale/transaction (~10%): −$88,500

  • Profit (~10%): −$88,500
    = Transparent cash offer: $588,000

We’ll walk micro-area comps—Belmont/Naples, Bixby Knolls/Cal Heights, Cambodia Town/Central LB, Retro Row/4th Street, Downtown/East Village—and break out repair lines (roof/foundation/panel/plumbing/HVAC, kitchen/bath, exterior). Replaced the roof? Completed a balcony remediation? Upgraded windows for coastal exposure? Tell us—we’ll update the inputs.


Timeline & funds (how it actually flows):


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

  • Close in ~10 days (or the later 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 punch-lists, no lender delays

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

A Long Beach Pricing Lens (Belmont/Naples ≠ Bixby Knolls ≠ Cambodia Town ≠ Downtown)

Value in Long Beach balances micro-area, system age, HOA/assessment realities, climate exposure, and commute/transit:


  • Belmont Shore / Naples: coastal microclimate, exterior envelope performance, parking, and short-term rental policies can nudge value.

  • Bixby Knolls / California Heights: mid-century character, larger lots, and system refresh cycles (roof, panel, sewer) matter most.

  • Cambodia Town / Central LB: tenant stability, corridor vibrancy on Anaheim, and proximity to the 710 shape buyer pools.

  • Retro Row / 4th Street: vintage charm and walkability offset smaller footprints and older systems.

  • Downtown / East Village / Ocean Blvd. high-rises: HOA reserves, assessments, elevator/facade projects, and A Line access weigh heavily.

  • North & West Long Beach: truck routes, school options, and commute math along the 405/710 influence underwriting.

Layer in coastal marine layer mornings, summer heat spikes inland, and periodic air-quality updates tied to the 710 corridor; they don’t change the appraisal form, but they do change showing schedules and stress. We comp inside this reality and explain our assumptions so you can make decisions from facts, not guesswork.

Long Beach is also multilingual by design—English alongside Spanish, Khmer, Tagalog, and more. If it helps to loop in a trusted helper for translation or logistics, say the word. Our goal is a sale that feels organized, fair, and private.
