Selling a house in Berkeley
A local buyer who knows Berkeley.
Berkeley’s homes are some of the oldest in the county: brown-shingle houses, Craftsman bungalows and early 1900s cottages, many on small lots close to campus. We buy them as they are, whether they’ve been carefully kept up or haven’t been touched in decades.
The homes we buy in Berkeley
Older Berkeley houses often come with knob-and-tube wiring, original sewer laterals, and foundations or retaining walls that need attention. Hillside homes can add drainage and access issues. Those are exactly the repairs that slow down a traditional sale, and none of them stop us from buying.
Who we help
Berkeley’s rent and eviction rules can make selling a duplex or a house with long-term tenants complicated. We also work with heirs selling a family home, owners downsizing after decades in the same house, and landlords who are ready to be done.

Common questions
Selling in Berkeley: straight answers.
Do I need to replace the sewer lateral before selling in Berkeley?
Berkeley requires a sewer lateral inspection and certificate when a property changes hands. In most cases we can take responsibility for that work as the buyer, so you don’t have to schedule or pay for it before closing. We’ll confirm how it applies to your property when we make the offer.
Will you buy a Berkeley home that needs a lot of work?
Yes. Foundation problems, old wiring, dry rot and dated kitchens are all fine. We buy as-is and you can leave behind anything you don’t want to take.
How do you determine your offer?
We look at the property’s condition, the repairs it needs, and recent comparable sales nearby. We walk you through how we got to the number, with no pressure to accept.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. You won’t pay agent commissions or pay us any fees. We cover typical closing costs, so the offer you accept is what you can expect to walk away with, minus any existing liens or mortgage payoff.
Do I have to make repairs or clean?
No. Sell the house exactly as it is. Take what you want and leave the rest.
How fast can you close?
As fast as 3 days for the right property, once title is clear. If you need more time, we can close weeks or months out, whatever works for you.
