Contra Costa County Sellers: One Buyer, Every Community, Any Situation

Contra Costa County stretches from the affluent Lamorinda corridor in the west to the Delta waterfront communities of East Contra Costa – a range of housing markets that includes Craftsman bungalows in Martinez, 1980s planned communities in Danville and San Ramon, 1970s tracts in Concord and Pleasant Hill, and newer exurban developments in Brentwood and Oakley. We buy homes across all of these communities. Whatever city in Contra Costa County you’re in, and whatever reason you have for selling, our process is the same: one visit, one cash offer, close when you’re ready.

John was great to work with! I cannot recommend him enough. He gave us a fair deal for our house in Berkeley. He bought the house from us very quickly…
FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you buy homes across all of Contra Costa County, or just certain cities? +
All of it – from Richmond and San Pablo in the west, through the Diablo Valley (Walnut Creek, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Danville, San Ramon), out to the East County (Antioch, Pittsburg, Brentwood, Oakley, Bethel Island).
I'm dealing with a Contra Costa County probate case. Can you buy before probate clears? +
We can make an offer during probate and structure the close to align with court confirmation, or wait until probate clears and close immediately after. Your attorney sets the timeline.
Does it matter whether the property is in an incorporated city or unincorporated Contra Costa County? +
Not for us. Whether your property is in a city with its own code enforcement or in an unincorporated county area, our process is the same.
What's the fastest you can close on a Contra Costa property? +
As few as 7 days from signed agreement if title is clean and you’re ready. If you need more time, we wait – close date is your call.
How fast can I sell my house in Contra Costa County? +
We can close in as little as 7 days in Contra Costa County. Once you accept our written cash offer, we handle all title and paperwork – you pick the closing date.
Do I need to make repairs before selling? +
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.
Are there commissions or fees? +
None. No agent commissions, no fees charged to you, no deductions at close. The number in your offer is what you receive.
