Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about selling your home for cash to Homes For Cash Fast.

Who is buying my house?

Homes For Cash Fast, a direct cash home buyer in Pleasanton. We buy with our own funds and close through a licensed escrow and title company. You can reach us at 510-560-6300 or through the form on this page.

How is your offer calculated?

We look at your home's current market value and account for condition, needed repairs, and our closing costs. The result is a fair cash offer with no commissions, no fees, and no obligation to accept.

What if I owe more than my home is worth?

We can discuss your situation and walk you through your options, which may include a short sale or other approaches. We'd encourage you to speak with your own attorney or advisor as well. Every situation is different.

How fast can you really close?

We can close in as little as 7 days. We work on your schedule. If you need more time, that's fine too.

Do I need to make repairs?

No. We buy homes exactly as they are: no repairs, no cleaning, no showings.

Are there fees or commissions?

None. We charge no commissions and cover standard closing costs, so there are no fees deducted by us. Any existing mortgage, liens, or unpaid property taxes are paid off through escrow as they would be in any sale. We will show you a clear breakdown of what you walk away with before you sign.

What types of properties do you buy?

Single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes, and small multi-family properties across the Bay Area. We regularly buy inherited and probate properties, homes that need major repairs, and tenant-occupied properties. If you are not sure your property fits, reach out. We will tell you honestly either way.

What happens if my home is in foreclosure?

You still have options, and the earlier you act the more of them you have. California law gives homeowners facing foreclosure specific legal protections, including cancellation rights that apply to certain sales. We will walk you through the ones that apply to your situation in writing before you sign anything. We strongly encourage you to get independent legal advice, and if a cash sale makes sense for you, we can work on your timeline.

Do I need a real estate attorney?

California does not require one. A licensed escrow and title company handles the closing, and every sale runs through escrow for your protection. That said, you are always welcome to have an attorney review anything we send you, and for inherited or probate properties we actively encourage independent legal advice.

Can I still sell if I have tenants?

Yes. We buy tenant-occupied properties regularly. Existing leases and California tenant protections stay with the property and must be honored by any buyer, including us. Your tenants do not need to move for you to sell to us. Just let us know the situation up front so our offer reflects it accurately.

What cities do you buy in?

We buy across the Bay Area, including Oakland, San Jose, Fremont, Hayward, and Concord, plus the Tri-Valley (Danville, Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton) and surrounding communities. Outside those areas, ask anyway: we review every Bay Area property case by case.

How is this different from listing with an agent?

A listing can sometimes bring a higher gross price, but it typically means repairs, staging, showings, months on market, commissions, and the risk of a buyer's financing falling through. Selling to us trades some of that potential upside for speed and certainty: a cash offer on your home as-is, no commissions or fees, and an agreed closing date, often in as little as 7 days. Which path is right depends on your situation, and we will be straight with you about it.
