We Buy Houses in San Diego, California

Our arithmetic is on the page.

Every offer comes with the same formula, written out:

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

You’ll see the comps, the repair budget, and the two ~10% bands. No mystery, no “trust-us” price.

As-is—no re-trades.
We don’t come back after our walkthrough asking for credits or haircutting the price. No renegotiation later. No repairs. No cleaning.

California-only underwriting, San Diego savvy.
A cottage in OB near salt air doesn’t price like a 60s ranch in La Mesa, a hillside place in Tierrasanta, a Kearny Mesa townhouse near the job hubs, or a condo off the Blue Line. We buy only in CA, and our comp sets reflect San Diego micro-markets.

Your date, your terms.
Close fast, or choose a later target to line up movers, Trolley schedules, CBX travel, or a school calendar. Need to stay after closing? We’ll put it in writing so everyone’s comfortable.

We’ll go head-to-head with other offers.
Bring a written number from another cash home buyer in San Diego. We’ll try to match or beat it on price, terms, or speed. If their deal truly serves you better, we’ll say so.

$0 at closing.
We cover escrow, title, transfer tax, recording, and docs. No commissions, no junk fees. You keep more of your proceeds.

Every sale sits inside a life situation. Our job is to lower the temperature and protect your time.

Behind on payments (clock is loud, time is short)
The letters pile up; the idea of open houses in North Park while juggling work on the 15 is a non-starter. We verify payoff through escrow, set a date-certain close, and keep neighbors out of your living room.

Testimonials: A hospital tech commuting the 163 had shift changes coming. We confirmed payoff mid-week, delivered a written offer the next day, and closed on a Wednesday—no showings, no “maybe later” lender drama.

Probate / Inherited home (memories + logistics)
Grandpa’s place near Grape St. Dog Park might have original tile and a garage stacked to the rafters. You don’t need to empty it like a museum. We work with your attorney and title, buy as-is, and give the family time to remove keepsakes.
Testimonials: Three siblings—South Bay, North County, and out of state—signed remotely. We did one brief visit, documented repair assumptions, and timed closing a few days after the court’s order.

Co-owners going separate ways (clarity beats friction)
You want a number both sides understand and a date you can plan around. We show the math, then lock the calendar.
Testimonials: Partners with a duplex near Golden Hill needed a quiet exit before leases renewed. We set a firm figure, ran everything through escrow, and closed mid-month to dovetail with move-outs.

Relocation / Commute shift (the 5 today, the 805 tomorrow)
New role at UCSD/UTC? Transfer to Kearny Mesa? A 60–90 day listing fights your timeline. We move on your schedule, wire funds through escrow, and keep logistics tight.
Testimonials: An engineer starting near The Merge wanted certainty before onboarding. We scheduled a 12-day close and a short stay-after-closing so packing could finish without turning weekends into chaos.

Downsizing / Rightsizing (from stairs to single-level)
Beach stairs in PB used to be fun; now they’re just… stairs. You shouldn’t bankroll renovations you won’t enjoy. We price updates in and schedule around your next set of keys.
Testimonials: An owner moving from a two-story in Clairemont to a single-level in East County asked for a close two days after the new lease began. Done—no double move.

Rental fatigue / Vacancy (make-ready math hurts)
Between L.A.-style loan expectations creeping south and buyer punch-lists, make-ready costs balloon. We price deferred maintenance up front and buy as-is—no contractor roulette, no advertising spend.
Testimonials: A small triplex near the E Street Trolley stop (Chula Vista) needed safety items and a full cosmetic refresh. We purchased as-is and handled the rehab after closing—no money out of pocket.

Listing fell apart (appraisal/inspection ping-pong)
Retail buyers expect clean reports and smooth appraisals. If your place bounced back to market in El Cajon, La Mesa, or San Marcos, we remove uncertainty: one visit, transparent math, date-certain close.
Testimonials: A home near Rancho Peñasquitos had two escrows collapse—panel and roof. We line-itemed those repairs in the offer, covered all closing costs, and closed on a Friday so the seller could hand off keys over the weekend.

Tight equity / Near payoff (time risk is expensive)
When there isn’t headroom for a retail punch-list, months of carrying costs hurt. We’ll review payoff math and see whether a $0-cost direct sale beats waiting through May Gray into June Gloom and beyond.
Testimonials: A homeowner with a nearly tapped HELOC in Tierrasanta needed out before holiday bills and winter storm season. We set a fast close and shut off the drip of monthly expenses.

Border-adjacent logistics (San Ysidro / CBX life)
Frequent cross-border travel? Open houses near San Ysidro or Otay Mesa may not be realistic. We keep it private and date-certain, so you’re not juggling traffic and Trolley schedules with showings.
Testimonials: A family splitting time via CBX needed a close tied to a return flight. We aligned closing for mid-week and granted a 4-day stay-after-closing so everyone could move without a scramble.

We purchase single-family homes, condos, townhomes, small multifamily, and apartments across the city and county—as-is, with no cleaning or repairs. If you’re thinking “I’d rather sell my house for cash in San Diego than pour money into it,” this is for you.

Outdated or “needs everything.”
Original kitchens in North Park, 90s baths in Mira Mesa, a half-finished garage project in Linda Vista—we price the updates into the offer so you spend $0 before closing.

Fire/smoke or water.
Sea-air corrosion, smoke staining, slab leaks—retail buyers flinch. We fold remediation into the number and keep your schedule intact.

Roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing.
Loan/appraisal risk is high on these. We budget the fix upfront and keep your sale certain.

Mold, heavy clean-out, hoarding.
You don’t have to make it “show-ready.” Leave what you don’t want; we’ll take it as-it-sits and handle hauling after closing—no judgment.

Unpermitted conversions / ADUs / garage studios.
San Diego is creative with space—retail can bog down. We buy as-is and sort it post-closing.

Coastal quirks / parking / easements.
Tight lots in OB/PB/IB, alley access, and beach-adjacent wear are normal. We price fairly without stretching your timeline.

Condos & HOAs (DTSD to UTC).
Assessments, reserves, elevator issues—retail buyers get skittish. We streamline: one quick look, as-is offer, and a date that works.

Small multifamily (duplex–fourplex).
Tuck-under parking, older panels, partial vacancy—we underwrite rent, repair, and timeline into one clean number.
