See what we’d pay.
If you live out of state and own a Bay Area property, you already know the standard problems. You can't easily check on the place. Coordinating contractors and inspections from a different time zone is a slog. Tenants take longer to manage at a distance. Property management eats into the returns. And selling traditionally usually means at least one trip out for showings or signings.
We handle the entire process remotely. You never have to fly to California.
How a remote sale works
You call or fill out the form. We set up a time to walk through the property. If there's a tenant, we coordinate with them. If it's vacant, we let ourselves in (with your permission and instructions). We video the walkthrough so you can see what we saw.
We make a cash offer the same day, by phone or email. If it works for you, we open escrow with a national title company that handles remote closings routinely. You sign documents electronically through a remote online notary. The wire goes to your bank account on closing day.
That's it. The deal can be done in 3 to 7 days from your first call, and you never leave home.
Who we help most often
Most of the out-of-state sellers we work with fall into one of three buckets: heirs to a Bay Area property after a parent passed, military or job-relocation owners who never moved back, or longtime landlords who finally decided that managing a rental from across the country isn't worth it anymore.
If your property has a tenant, we can buy it with the tenant in place. If it has deferred maintenance, and most do, because you haven't been there to keep up with it, we don't care. We factor it into the offer.
This often overlaps with selling an inherited property and with stepping out of a rental you're tired of managing.
