The San Francisco market has specific characteristics that create consistent demand for direct cash sales. Rent control under the San Francisco Rent Ordinance covers the majority of the city's rental stock, and the city's Just Cause for Eviction ordinance — among the strongest in California — makes tenant situations exceptionally complex to navigate. We buy tenant-occupied properties as-is and handle the tenant situation after closing. You do not need vacant possession before we purchase, and you do not need to navigate the Ellis Act or owner move-in procedures yourself.
Probate and inherited properties are common in San Francisco, where long-term homeowners who purchased in the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s have left estates with extraordinary value but properties that often have significant deferred maintenance, earthquake retrofit needs, or configuration issues — in-law units, Edwardian flats, Victorian cottages — that complicate traditional sales. We work with personal representatives and estate attorneys through the San Francisco Superior Court probate process.
San Francisco's housing stock is among the oldest in California. Many properties have soft-story earthquake vulnerabilities, outdated electrical and plumbing systems, or code violations accumulated over decades. Properties with these conditions can be difficult to finance conventionally, making a direct cash buyer the most practical path to a sale.
We buy throughout all of San Francisco — the Mission, Tenderloin, Western Addition, Excelsior, Bayview, Bernal Heights, the Sunset, the Richmond, Castro, Noe Valley, Pacific Heights, and all other neighborhoods. If you own property in San Francisco and want a direct cash offer, we are ready to move on your timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you close on my San Francisco 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 We buy San Francisco houses in any condition — foundation issues, fire damage, water damage, outdated homes, code violations, or properties that just need major updating.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 Francisco neighborhood, the property's current condition, any repairs needed, and the cost to resell. We aim to make a fair, transparent offer and will walk you through exactly how we arrived at the number.
What areas in San Francisco do you serve?
We buy throughout all of San Francisco — the Mission, Western Addition, Excelsior, Bayview, Bernal Heights, the Sunset, the Richmond, Castro, Noe Valley, Pacific Heights, and all other neighborhoods.
My house is going through probate in San Francisco Superior Court. Can you still buy it?
Yes. We work with probate properties regularly and understand the court process. We work directly with your estate attorney or personal representative throughout. If the estate qualifies for independent administration, we can often close considerably faster.
My San Francisco property has tenants under the Rent Ordinance. Can you buy it?
Yes. San Francisco's Rent Ordinance and Just Cause Eviction protections are among California's strongest. We buy tenant-occupied properties as-is — you do not need vacant possession before we close. We handle the tenant situation after purchase.
My SF property has earthquake retrofit requirements or soft-story issues. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We buy properties with soft-story vulnerabilities, seismic retrofit needs, and structural issues throughout San Francisco. We evaluate these directly and make an offer based on the property as it stands.
