Fast Home Buyer California holds DRE license #02006033 and has completed over 50 cash transactions since 2012. We evaluate every San Mateo County property in person. There is no handoff to a third-party investor and no chain of intermediaries.
Properties moving through San Mateo County Superior Court probate, inherited homes with complex title situations, tenant-occupied rentals, and houses requiring significant modernization are all situations we handle directly. San Mateo County sits at the heart of the Peninsula between San Francisco and San Jose, and the cost of renovation here often exceeds what sellers are willing to invest before listing.
Sellers in Hillsdale, Hayward Park, San Mateo Village, and the Baywood neighborhood own homes that range from pre-war bungalows to 1950s ranches. Many inherited properties carry decades of deferred maintenance while sitting on land worth well over a million dollars. Others involve ADU or in-law unit situations with permitting complications. A direct cash sale resolves these situations without the months a traditional listing demands.
If you own a San Mateo County property and need a clean path to closing, we are ready to make an offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you close on my San Mateo house?
We can close in as little as 7 days. However, we work on your timeline — if you need 30 or 60 days, that works too. There are no lender delays or financing contingencies involved in a cash sale.
Do I need to make repairs before selling?
No repairs needed. We buy San Mateo houses in any condition — foundation issues, fire damage, water damage, outdated homes, code violations, or properties that just need major updating. We handle everything after closing.
Are there any fees or commissions?
Zero fees, zero commissions. The cash offer we make is the amount you receive at closing. We even cover typical closing costs. There is no obligation to accept our offer.
How do you determine your offer price?
We look at recent comparable sales in your specific San Mateo neighborhood, the property's current condition, any repairs needed, and the cost and effort to resell. We aim to make an offer that is fair and transparent — and we will walk you through how we got there.
What areas in San Mateo do you serve?
We buy houses throughout the City of San Mateo and San Mateo County, including Hillsdale, Hayward Park, Baywood, San Mateo Village, Burlingame, Foster City, Redwood City, Daly City, South San Francisco, and surrounding communities.
My property is in probate through San Mateo County Superior Court. Can you buy it?
Yes. We buy probate properties regularly and understand the San Mateo County Superior Court process. If the estate qualifies for independent administration, we can often close within weeks. If court confirmation is required, we build that timeline into our offer and coordinate with your estate attorney throughout.
My San Mateo rental has tenants. Can I sell without dealing with the tenancy?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied properties and handle the tenant situation after closing. San Mateo County has tenant protection ordinances, and we are familiar with local requirements. You do not need to resolve the tenancy before we close on the property.
My San Mateo property has an unpermitted ADU or in-law unit. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Unpermitted additions, in-law units, and ADU situations are common on the Peninsula. We buy properties with permitting complications and handle the resolution after closing. Our offer accounts for these factors so you can sell without going through the permit process yourself.
