Golden State Cash Offers
Sacramento & Bay Area · direct cash buyer

A cash offer for your house, with the closing date you pick.

Send us the address. Within one business day you get a real number, not a lead sold to five investors. If you like it, we close at a licensed title company in as little as ten days, and the house can be in any condition.

  • You pay no commission and no closing costs on our side of the table.
  • Leave what you don't want: furniture, junk, an old car in the garage.
  • Tenants, probate, liens, back taxes, fire or water damage are all fine.
  • Need time? Pick a closing 90 days out and stay put until then.

Get your cash offer

Takes about a minute. We reply within one business day.

No fees, no obligation. We reply within one business day and never share your details with other buyers.

How a sale to us actually goes

Four steps, no showings, no open houses, no waiting on a buyer's lender. Most sellers spend less than two hours total on the whole thing.

Tell us about the house

Address, rough condition, and when you'd like to be done. The form takes about a minute.

Get a number

We check recent sales nearby, the lot, permits and the cost of any work, then send a written cash range within one business day.

One short walkthrough

If the range works, we visit once, confirm the condition and sign a simple purchase agreement with a firm price.

Close and get paid

Escrow opens at a licensed title company. You choose the date; funds are wired the day it records.

Situations we handle every month

Most people who call us are not in a rush to sell a perfect house. They have a property that a normal listing can't handle well, or a deadline that a normal listing can't meet.

Inherited or probate property

We work with the executor and the estate attorney, buy as-is, and wait for court approval when it's required.

Behind on the mortgage

If a notice of default has arrived, a cash close before the trustee sale can protect your remaining equity and your credit.

Tired of being a landlord

Sell with the tenants in place. We take over the lease and the deposit; you don't have to serve notice.

Major repairs

Foundation, roof, old wiring, mold, a kitchen from 1978. We price the work in and buy without asking you to fix anything.

Divorce or a job move

A fixed price and a fixed date make the split simpler, and you can close remotely with a mobile notary.

Vacant or out-of-state

You don't have to be here. Walkthroughs are scheduled around your availability, and signing can be done electronically.

Cash sale or listing? The honest comparison

A listing usually wins on price if the house is in good shape and you can wait. A cash sale wins on certainty, speed and houses that need work. Here is how they differ in practice.

Selling to usListing with an agent
Time to money10 to 30 days, your choice60 to 120 days on average, longer if a buyer's loan falls through
Repairs and prepNoneUsually required to get a good offer

Where we buy

Sacramento County and the neighbouring counties (Placer, El Dorado, Yolo, San Joaquin), plus the East Bay, South Bay and the Peninsula. Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, Davis, Stockton, Oakland, Hayward, Fremont, San Jose and the cities in between. If you are unsure whether your town counts, ask; the answer is usually yes.

Questions sellers ask us

How do you come up with the number?

We start from what similar houses nearby sold for recently, subtract the realistic cost of the work the house needs and our margin, and show you the arithmetic. If you think a comparable sale is wrong, tell us; we'll look again.

Will the offer change after you see the house?

Only if the walkthrough reveals something we couldn't see from the information you gave us, such as a hidden structural issue. Cosmetic surprises don't move the price.

Do I have to move out before closing?

No. Many sellers stay until the recorded date, and in some cases we agree a short rent-back so you can move after you receive the money.

Is there any cost or obligation to ask?

None. Requesting a number does not commit you to anything, and plenty of people use our offer as a benchmark before deciding to list.

Who handles the paperwork?

A licensed, neutral title and escrow company. You will receive a settlement statement showing exactly what you net before you sign anything.
