Selling a house in Oakland
A local buyer who knows Oakland.
Oakland is the county’s biggest housing market and its most varied: century-old Victorians in West Oakland, Craftsman bungalows in Temescal and the Dimond, post-war homes in East Oakland, and hillside houses above Montclair. We buy in every part of the city, in any condition.
The homes we buy in Oakland
Much of Oakland’s housing is more than 80 years old. That often means original wiring, galvanized plumbing, foundations that need work, or additions that were never permitted, all of which make a traditional sale slower and harder. We factor those issues into our offer and buy as-is, so you don’t fix anything or haggle over inspection reports.
Who we help
Tenant-occupied rentals are common in Oakland, and the city’s rent and eviction rules make them hard to sell on the open market. We regularly buy with tenants in place. We also help families settling an estate, owners who have fallen behind on payments, and anyone who would rather skip months of repairs and showings.

- Major repairs: roof, foundation, water damage
- Vacant house you’re still paying for

- Selling as-is, no repairs
Common questions
Selling in Oakland: straight answers.
Can you buy my Oakland rental with tenants still living there?
Yes. We buy occupied rentals throughout Oakland and take over the existing leases at closing, so you don’t have to deliver the property vacant. We’ll ask about the leases, rents and any notices up front so the offer reflects the real situation.
Do you buy houses in the Oakland Hills?
Yes, including hillside homes with steep lots, deferred maintenance or older foundations. We look at each house individually and base the offer on its actual condition.
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.
