How selling to us works

Share the address and what is going on. We review the house as-is, put the offer and terms in writing before you commit, and close through a title company.

Three simple steps

  1. 1

    Tell us about your house

    Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.

  2. 2

    Get your offer

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Close

    Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Compare your choices

Compare the house, not just the neighborhood name

A listing may fit a house that is ready to show and gives you time to prepare it. An as-is sale is another option when repairs, cleanout, occupancy, or timing affect your plans. Compare written terms with a realistic listing plan, including what you would keep after costs.

Are Monterey, Soledad, or Carmel Salinas neighborhoods?

What kinds of homes are in Salinas?

The City describes Salinas housing as a mix of historic homes, established family neighborhoods, newer housing developments, and areas with a rural, open-space feel. That citywide description does not tell you the condition of a particular house.

Where can I ask about a Salinas code or unpermitted-work concern?

The City’s Community Development Department says Code Enforcement addresses blight, zoning violations, unpermitted work, and other code concerns. Start with the City for a question about a Salinas address and have the property address or notice available.

Can I sell a Salinas house without repairs or a cleanout?

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the address and what you know about the house so we can discuss whether it fits.

How do I compare an as-is sale with listing?

Compare written terms with a realistic listing plan, including repairs, preparation, access, time, and what you would keep after costs. The Salinas market report and net-proceeds calculator are starting points; neither gives a property-specific offer or value.
