Why thousands of Bay Area homeowners have called us
Every reason is something a seller has actually told us mattered to them. We didn’t make these up.
BBB Accredited, A+ rating
A 17-year track record with the Better Business Bureau. We earn the rating by following through, not by avoiding complaints.

Family-owned and direct
You meet the buyers. We don’t assign your contract, we don’t farm it out, we don’t bring in mystery investors at the closing table.
Compliant with California rules
Licensed California notary on the team. Proper escrow, proper title, proper disclosures. No corner-cutting on the legal side.
No high-pressure tactics
No countdown timers, no "act now or lose this offer." If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you and point you to who is.
Close on your timeline
Need it fast? We can close in 3 to 7 days. Need 90? We can do that. We work around probate, assisted-living move-ins, and family schedules.

A transparent alternative to typical cash home buyers
Why sellers trust Maple Home Buyers
If you’ve been researching companies that buy homes for cash, you may have noticed that many of them look similar. That’s because a large number of these companies are not actually the buyers. Many are wholesalers who put homes under contract and then try to sell that contract to another investor, assigning your home to other investors for a fee.
At Maple Home Buyers, we operate differently. We believe sellers deserve honesty, transparency, and a buyer who can actually close your transaction, stress-free.
We purchase homes with our own funds.
Often put your home under contract, then try to find another buyer or investor.
Proof of funds available, we provide it on request.
Many cannot provide proof of funds.
A large, non-refundable earnest money deposit.
$0 to $2,500 earnest money deposit, and refundable.
No contract assignments or middleman flips.
Your contract is often assigned to other investors for a fee.
The price we agree on is the price we close at.
Price reductions often requested later, while under contract or in escrow.
No inspection games to renegotiate the price.

We started Maple Home Buyers in 2009 with one promise: treat every seller the way we'd want our own parents treated. Two thousand homes later, that's still the whole strategy.
- Family-owned, locally rooted
We live in the Bay Area, we buy in the Bay Area. Every offer is reviewed by an owner. Not a call center.

Most calls end with us recommending you also talk to a Realtor. It only works if it works for you.
- We close what we offer
$30K typical earnest money. Proof of funds in writing. No assignment shenanigans, no ghosting at the title office.
