WHO WE HELP

Richmond’s Rent Laws Don’t Have to Keep You Locked In

If you need to sell your Richmond house fast, we make a written cash offer in 24 hours – tenants in place, Fair Rent Ordinance properties, as-is. Richmond has one of the Bay Area’s most comprehensive rent control ordinances – the Richmond Fair Rent, Just Cause for Eviction and Homeowner Protection Ordinance – covering a large share of its older residential stock. For small landlords who bought a Richmond duplex or triplex decades ago and are now dealing with regulated rents and just-cause eviction requirements, selling through a conventional listing while occupied is a complicated, slow process. We buy Richmond rentals with tenants in place, under the Fair Rent Ordinance, as-is. No Ellis Act, no OMI, no Rent Board proceedings required from you.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

I own a Richmond duplex under Fair Rent Ordinance. Can you buy it with both tenants in place? +
Yes. We take over both tenancies under the Fair Rent Ordinance – existing leases and all. No Rent Board process required from you.
The Richmond property has industrial adjacency and some prior environmental disclosure items. Is that a problem? +
Environmental disclosure items are reviewed in our due diligence. We buy with them in place as long as title is clear.
The Point Richmond home is a 1910 Victorian. Is early-1900s construction something you buy? +
Yes. We buy pre-war construction throughout the East Bay. Original systems and older foundations are factored into our offer – they don’t prevent a close.
The home needs significant work – roof, foundation grading, and kitchen. Does any of that need to be done before we sign? +
Nothing needs to be done. We buy as-is and account for all of it in the offer.
How fast can I sell my house in Richmond? +
We can close in as little as 7 days in Richmond. 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.
