What we do
One simple service. We buy Bay Area houses for cash. The version of that service you need depends on your situation.
Cash home buyers who actually buy the house
One service, shaped to your situation.
We are cash home buyers in the truest sense: we are the buyer, not a middleman shopping your home to someone else. You call, we look at the property, and we hand you a written number for the home as it sits today. No listing, no staging, no waiting on a stranger's mortgage to clear.
Sellers reach us in all kinds of situations: probate, a rental they are done managing, a foreclosure date, fire or water damage. Every one resolves into the same thing, a cash offer adjusted to what the property and the timeline need. The six below are versions of that one purchase.
Six versions of one service
Every Maple deal is a cash purchase. The mechanics shift depending on what the property and the seller need.
Cash purchase, any condition
We buy single-family homes, condos, townhomes, multi-units, and mobile homes in any condition. Foundation problems, fire damage, mold, hoarder conditions, deferred maintenance, unpermitted work. The condition does not change whether we buy. It changes the offer.
Learn moreProbate and estate sales
Inherited a property in probate? We coordinate directly with attorneys and the executor. We can wait the 6 to 18 months a California probate often takes, or close inside the probate proceeding if the court allows. We handle cleanout of family belongings with care.
Learn moreTenant-occupied rental buyouts
Tired of being a landlord? We buy occupied. You do not have to evict, do not have to time the sale around a lease end, do not have to take the property off the rental market to show it. We take over the tenant relationship at closing.
Learn moreDistressed and damaged property
Fire, flood, mold, foundation, code violations, condemned homes. We buy properties traditional buyers and their lenders refuse to touch. No repair contingencies, no insurance hoops, no waiting for permits to be pulled before closing.
Learn moreCash advance against your sale
Need money before closing? Funeral expenses, a deposit on assisted living, an attorney retainer, moving costs. We can advance funds against your accepted offer in many situations, so you do not have to wait for the wire on closing day.
Learn moreForeclosure and lien resolution
Behind on the mortgage, in default, or staring down a Notice of Sale? We can often close before the auction date and pay off the lender directly. We also work through tax liens, mechanics liens, and judgment liens at closing.
Learn moreIf any of this sounds familiar, we can help
Most homeowners we work with aren’t looking to flip a house. They’re managing a moment in life. We meet you where you are.
Probate or vacant home
Inherited a Bay Area home, or one sitting empty? We coordinate with attorneys, handle the cleanout, and buy in any condition. Probate-experienced since 2009.

Retiring or liquidating assets
Cashing out of real estate to fund retirement, simplify your estate, or move on to the next chapter. Skip the prep, the showings, and the cap-gains uncertainty of a long market listing.

Divorce or unplanned life event
Divorce, a death in the family, sudden medical bills. When life changes overnight, we move quietly and quickly with a fair cash offer and a closing date that works for everyone.

Job relocation
New job in a new city, on a tight timeline? We close in 3 to 7 days so you can move without carrying two mortgages or coordinating repairs from across the country.
Read more
Discreet, off-market sale
No sign in the yard. No public MLS listing. No open houses or curious neighbors. We buy privately and confidentially when you’d rather keep the sale out of view.

Tired landlord or vacant rental
Difficult tenants, deferred maintenance, or sitting empty? We buy occupied or vacant. Leave the keys, leave the headaches.
Read more
Damaged or distressed property
Fire, water, foundation, mold, or just decades of deferred maintenance. We buy homes in any condition, as-is, you don’t fix, clean, or stage a thing.
Read more
Foreclosure or bankruptcy
Behind on payments, facing a Notice of Default, or working through bankruptcy? The sooner you call, the more options we have to pay off the loan and put cash in your pocket before the auction date.
Read more
Health or medical issues
A diagnosis, a move into assisted living, or mounting medical bills. We move quickly and quietly with a fair cash offer and a closing date that works around your care, not against it.

FAQ
Questions about what we do
The most frequent ones from sellers calling for the first time.
Single-family homes, condos, townhomes, 2-4 unit small multifamily, mobile homes on owned land, and the occasional small commercial property. Mostly single-family. We do not buy raw land or large commercial.
The 9-county Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma) plus the northern Central Valley (San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Sacramento County edges). We are based in Castro Valley.
No. The offer is free, no-obligation, and not contingent on you accepting. We make our money on the homes we buy, not on services to sellers who do not sell.
A Realtor lists your home and finds a third-party buyer. We are the buyer. There are no showings, no marketing period, no buyer-financing contingencies, no agent commissions. The trade-off is the offer reflects the time and risk we absorb. For sellers in the right situation, that trade is worth it. For sellers in the wrong situation, a Realtor nets more.
