Why Homeowners Choose Us
We Buy Houses Across Marin County
Marin County sits across the Golden Gate from San Francisco, renowned for its natural beauty, affluent communities, and some of the highest home prices in the nation. With approximately 262,000 residents and a median home price around $1.7 million, Marin represents a housing market where even modest properties carry significant value — and where the costs and complexity of selling through traditional channels can be proportionally enormous.
The challenges of selling a Marin County home extend beyond typical real estate concerns. Properties in flood-prone areas along the Richardson Bay waterfront or in low-lying parts of Novato face FEMA flood zone designations that complicate financing and insurance. Homes in the wildland-urban interface — which describes much of Marin's hillside development — carry wildfire risk that has driven up insurance costs dramatically since the 2017 Tubbs Fire that devastated neighboring Sonoma County. And the county's commitment to environmental preservation means properties often face restrictions on remodeling, expansion, or tree removal that can frustrate buyers.
Fast Home Buyer California provides Marin County homeowners with an alternative that bypasses these complexities. With California DRE License #02006033 and a BBB A+ rating, we present fair cash offers within 24 hours and can close in as few as 7 days. We buy homes regardless of condition, flood zone status, or fire risk designation — eliminating the barriers that can extend traditional Marin County sales for months.
Marin's housing stock reflects decades of development constrained by geography and growth controls. Many homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s and are now reaching the age where roofs, HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical panels need replacement. In a market where buyers spend $1.5 million or more, expectations for property condition are exceptionally high, and sellers of homes needing $100,000 or more in updates face an uphill battle against turnkey competition.

Cities We Serve in Marin County
We buy houses in every city across Marin County. Whether you're in a large city or small community, we'll make you a fair cash offer.
Novato
Novato is Marin County's most affordable and populous city, with a range of housing from 1960s subdivisions to rural properties on the city's northern edge. Many homeowners in established neighborhoods like Ignacio, Indian Valley, and Hamilton own homes that need substantial updates to meet current buyer expectations. We purchase Novato homes in any condition, providing sellers with a clean transaction that avoids the cost and uncertainty of competing in Marin's demanding market.
San Rafael
San Rafael serves as the Marin County seat and commercial center, with neighborhoods ranging from the flat, transit-accessible downtown to hillside homes with sweeping bay views. The city's housing stock includes older homes in the Canal District, mid-century properties in Glenwood and Sun Valley, and more expensive homes in the Dominican and Terra Linda areas. Sellers dealing with aging properties, rental conversions, or homes with foundation issues on Marin's challenging hillside terrain turn to us for cash offers that eliminate the complications of traditional listing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Marin County
Common questions from Marin County homeowners about our cash home buying process.
How fast can you close on a Marin County home?
+
We can close in as few as 7 days. In Marin County, where traditional sales often take 45-60 days to secure an offer followed by 30-45 days of escrow, our timeline is dramatically faster. This matters especially for sellers handling estate settlements, divorces, or relocations where time has real financial impact at Marin price points.
Do you buy homes in Marin County wildfire zones?
+
Yes. Much of Marin County's hillside development falls within wildland-urban interface zones with elevated fire risk. Insurance challenges and buyer concerns in these areas can complicate traditional sales significantly. We purchase properties regardless of fire zone designation and factor the risk into our valuation without requiring you to resolve insurance issues first.
What about homes in Marin County flood zones?
+
We buy homes in FEMA flood zones throughout Marin County, including properties along Richardson Bay, in low-lying areas of Novato, and near the San Rafael canal. Flood zone designations add insurance costs and financing complications that slow or prevent traditional sales. Our cash purchase process eliminates these barriers.
Why would I sell below market value in expensive Marin County?
+
Our offers reflect your home's current as-is value. In Marin, where renovations can cost $150,000 to $300,000 or more and agent commissions on a $1.7 million home run $85,000-$102,000, many sellers find our net proceeds competitive when they account for repair costs, commission savings, carrying costs during a lengthy sale, and the certainty of a guaranteed close.
Do you work with probate properties in Marin County?
+
Yes, inherited properties represent a significant portion of our Marin County purchases. With home values exceeding $1.5 million, estates often involve substantial assets but properties needing significant work. We coordinate with Marin County probate attorneys and estate representatives to provide efficient, transparent transactions.
What areas of Marin County do you serve?
+
We purchase homes throughout Marin County including Novato, San Rafael, Mill Valley, Larkspur, Corte Madera, San Anselmo, Fairfax, Tiburon, Sausalito, and unincorporated communities. Whether your property is in the most exclusive neighborhoods or the county's more modest communities, we can evaluate and present an offer.
