WHO WE HELP

We buy houses Fairfax owners can count on

Here is the straight answer. We buy houses Fairfax owners want to sell without the showings, the repairs, and the waiting that a listing usually brings. Our Marin County team is close by, the offer is fair and set down in writing, and the house is taken as-is. Keep what you want, leave the rest, and watch no commission come off the top. You set the closing date. The number holds whether you act on it now or take a couple of months to think, and no one here will lean on you.

A small Marin town with its own character

Fairfax sits at the wooded western edge of the county, where hillside cabins and cottages line the streets above San Anselmo Creek. Many of these homes are older, built into steep lots, and carry the kind of upkeep that adds up over the years. A house that needs work is exactly the sort we are set up to take on, foundation questions and all. We buy the small hillside cottages and the larger homes above the creek alike, and the written offer arrives with no obligation attached.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Whatever is behind the sale

These calls tend to open with something that shifted without warning. One owner has inherited a home but lives too far north to keep managing it. Another is ready for a smaller place and has no wish to renovate this one first. A third has a house sitting empty while the costs stack up month after month. We handle the title, the back taxes, and the cleanout, and we take the house exactly as it stands. Owners sometimes search sell my house fast Fairfax when a deadline appears, and we are the calmer option: one contact, first call to closing. Homeowners rate us 4.9 across more than 500 Google reviews, and we are BBB A+ accredited.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Creek-adjacent flood history is factored into our offer. We know the Fairfax flood plain well and it doesn’t prevent us from closing on a property with flood history.
No. Unpermitted in-law units are common in Fairfax’s older stock. We take on the permit history at close – you’re not responsible for legalizing it before selling.
Yes. We provide an offer during probate and schedule close to follow court confirmation. Marin Superior Court probate timelines are standard for us.
Yes. We offer post-close leaseback periods so you have time to sort through the home after we close. Take what you need, leave the rest – we handle cleanout.
We can close in as little as 7 days in Fairfax. Once you accept our written cash offer, we handle all title and paperwork – you pick the closing date.
No. We buy as-is – any condition, any age, any amount of deferred maintenance. Nothing needs to be fixed, cleaned, or updated before we close.
None. No agent commissions, no fees charged to you, no deductions at close. The number in your offer is what you receive.
