Fast Home Buyer California holds DRE license #02006033 and has closed over 50 cash transactions since 2012. We evaluate every Alameda County property in person. There is no handoff to a third-party investor and no intermediary in the transaction.
Probate estates filed through Alameda County Superior Court, inherited properties with multiple family members on title, tenant-occupied rentals subject to Oakland's Just Cause for Eviction ordinance, and houses in any condition are situations we work through regularly. Oakland's rental regulations add complexity that many traditional buyers avoid. We take those situations on directly.
Oakland's neighborhoods carry distinct characteristics. Sellers in Rockridge, Temescal, Fruitvale, and East Oakland own homes ranging from turn-of-the-century Victorians to mid-century bungalows. Many inherited properties carry decades of deferred maintenance. Some sit in designated fire zones with additional insurance requirements. A direct cash sale eliminates the months of renovation and staging a traditional listing would require.
If you own an Oakland or Alameda County property and want a direct cash offer, we are ready to begin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you close on my Oakland 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 We buy Oakland houses in any condition — foundation issues, fire damage, water damage, outdated homes, code violations, or properties that just need major updating.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 Oakland 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 Oakland do you serve?
We buy houses throughout Oakland and Alameda County, including Rockridge, Temescal, Fruitvale, East Oakland, West Oakland, Lake Merritt, Montclair, Berkeley, Hayward, Fremont, and surrounding communities.
My property is in probate through Alameda County Superior Court. Can you buy it?
Yes. We buy probate properties regularly and understand the Alameda County Superior Court process. If the estate qualifies for independent administration under the IAEA, we can often close within weeks. If court confirmation is required, we build that timeline into our offer and work directly with your estate attorney or personal representative.
My Oakland rental has tenants and I want to sell. Do I need to evict them first?
No. We buy tenant-occupied properties and handle the tenant situation after closing. Oakland has strict Just Cause for Eviction protections and a Rent Adjustment Program, and we are familiar with those requirements. You do not need to navigate the eviction process or resolve the tenancy before we close.
My Oakland home is a Victorian or older Craftsman that needs major work. Do you buy those?
Yes. Oakland has some of the oldest housing stock in the Bay Area, including Victorians, Craftsman bungalows, and mid-century homes. Many of these properties need foundation work, seismic retrofitting, or full renovation. We buy them in any condition and handle all repairs after closing.
