Major Repairs Or Code Violations
Sell A House That Needs Major Repairs - Exactly As It Stands.
Foundation cracks, a tired roof, mold, fire damage from years ago, an unpermitted addition, a code enforcement letter on the counter - none of it disqualifies your house. Vetted cash buyers price California houses exactly as they stand, violations and all, and the number they quote is the number you get. No contractor bids, no repair credits, no lender demanding fixes.

- Code violations handled in escrow
- No bank, no appraisal demands
Free. No obligation. We never pressure you - and your info stays with us.
What To Know First
Selling A Fixer In California - What Actually Matters.
The repairs feel like the whole story, but three other things decide how smooth this sale is. All three work in your favor here.
- No Lender
Cash Means Nobody Demands Repairs.
Traditional sales fall apart when the buyer's bank appraises the house and demands a new roof before funding. Cash buyers have no bank: they price the house as it stands, buy it as it stands, and the deal cannot be killed by an underwriter who has never seen it.
- Violations
Code Violations And Fines Get Settled In Escrow.
Open code enforcement cases, accumulated fines, even recorded liens are normal here - escrow identifies them through the title search and they get paid or assumed as part of the closing math. You see every line before you say yes.
- Honesty
Disclose Everything - It Costs You Nothing Here.
California law requires sellers to disclose known problems, and with us that honesty is free: the buyer already assumes the worst and prices accordingly. Telling us about the bad foundation does not lower your locked offer - hiding it is the only thing that can hurt you.

Common Questions
Selling A House That Needs Work - Quick Answers.
Is any house too damaged to sell?
In 15+ years we have not found one. Red-tagged, fire-gutted, foundation past saving - there is a buyer for every condition, because land plus location always has value. The only question is the number, and you will have it in writing within 24-48 hours.
What about my unpermitted addition or converted garage?
Very common in California, and it does not stop the sale. The buyer prices the house knowing the work is unpermitted and deals with the county after closing - legalizing, redoing, or removing it becomes their project, not yours.
I have an open code enforcement case and fines are stacking up. Can I still sell?
Yes, and sooner is genuinely better - fines compound. The title search surfaces the case and any liens, they get resolved through escrow as part of the closing math, and the county starts dealing with the new owner instead of you.
Do I have to fix or clean anything at all before closing?
Nothing. Leave the leak, the clutter, the garage you have not opened since 2019. As-is means the buyer takes the house exactly as it stands on closing day - take what you want and walk away from the rest.
Dealing with something else too? We also help with a fire or water damaged house or an inherited fixer. More questions? See the full FAQ, read reviews from California sellers, or call 916-249-1990.
