How does the process work?
Selling your house to We Buy West Coast is simple:
Step 1: Contact us and provide details about your property.
Step 2: We review your information and present a fair, no-obligation cash offer.
Step 3: If you accept, we handle all the paperwork and close at a time that works for you.
Do you buy houses in any condition?
Yes! We buy houses in any condition—whether it needs major repairs, has tenant issues, or is simply outdated. You don’t need to clean or fix anything; we handle it all.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No, there are no realtor commissions, hidden fees, or closing costs when you sell to us. The offer we present is the amount you’ll receive at closing.
How quickly can you close?
We can close in as little as 7 days or work around your timeline. Unlike traditional home sales, you won’t have to wait months for a buyer.
What if I’m facing foreclosure or behind on payments?
We help homeowners in difficult situations, including foreclosure. Selling to us can stop the foreclosure process and help you avoid long-term financial consequences.
How do I get started?
Simply contact us today, and we’ll provide a no-obligation offer on your home.
What if I say no to your offer?
Nothing. There is no obligation. We will make you a fair cash offer, and the choice is 100% yours whether you want to accept it.
What types of properties do you buy?
We buy all types of properties, including single-family homes, condos, townhomes, multi-family homes, apartments, and commercial properties.
We buy properties in any condition, even if they need major repairs.
What do you mean by ''cash offer''?
We buy properties with our own cash – eliminating the need for loans or bank approvals. Thus, we have the ability to make decisions and close escrow quickly so you can walk away with cash in your pocket.
If you’re looking to sell your house fast, we’ll pay you in cash with no delays or contingencies.
What if I already listed my house with an agent?
You can still sell your house to us for cash. However, you may have to compensate your agent depending on the terms of your agreement.
What if my house has a tenant?
We will still buy your house, even if a tenant is occupying the property.
Even if you have tenant problems or are in the process of eviction, we will close escrow and handle tenant matters ourselves – so you don’t have to.
What if my house is in probate?
We will still buy your house, even if it’s in probate.
We will make you a valid cash offer, subject to the completion of the probate process.
How long does it take to get an offer?
Every situation is unique, but you may receive an offer in as little as 48 hours.
Will I receive a fair offer?
Absolutely. You will receive a fair and competitive cash offer based on your home’s location, condition, and current market trends.
Some of the factors we consider are:
1) How much the necessary repairs cost,
2) The after-repair value of the home (ARV), and
3) The cost of reselling the home.
What if my house is in foreclosure?
We will still buy your house fast for cash – even if it’s in foreclosure. You can still legally sell your home until the auction date.
We specialize in helping homeowners like you avoid foreclosure by closing fast – preserving your credit, and saving the stress of a foreclosure auction.
Reasons to Sell
Financial Trouble
Life doesn’t always go as planned. If you’re behind on your mortgage or facing foreclosure, you’re not the only one. Every month, thousands of homeowners in California are forced to make tough decisions. We’re here to help you through it.
Selling your house fast for cast can be a great solution for financial liquidity and preserving your credit.
Repair Issues
Home repairs are costly, time-consuming, and risky. Fixing fire, water, or earthquake damage can cost tens of thousands of dollars or more. Repairs can take months to complete – not to mention the inconvenience of construction noise and the loss of privacy from having repairmen in your house. On top of that, poor or incomplete repairs can be a massive waste of money.
We will buy your house in any condition – no repairs necessary! Let us save you the trouble of fixing up your fixer-upper.
Divorce
Divorce is already challenging without the added stress of selling a home. If you want to sell quickly, a cash buyer is a good way to go. Avoid fees, commissions, and lengthy wait times that can prolong divorce proceedings. Selling your house fast for cash can be a great solution when dividing assets during divorce.
Relocation
People relocate for various reasons, including job opportunities, military deployment, sudden emergencies, proximity to family, and more. Relocations often come with tight deadlines, complicated logistics, and extra costs. We make selling your house fast, easy, and stress-free so you can focus on the stage of your journey.
Rental Problems
Being a landlord can be profitable, but it has many downsides. Owning rental property requires finding the right tenants, performing maintenance and repairs, paying unexpected costs, and managing tenant problems. If you want to eliminate the stress and headaches of managing property, we are here to help. We will pay cash for your house even if it needs repairs or is occupied by problematic tenants.
Downsizing
Big homes are costly to maintain. Downsizing reduces expenses and allows for greater financial freedom. Downsizing can help you pay a lower mortgage, lower your taxes, and reduce your bills. If you are retiring or your kids have grown up and moved away, downsizing can be a great way to free up financial resources. We specialize in buying houses directly from homeowners, giving you an easy, stress-free solution for downsizing.
Inherited Property
Inheriting a house comes with various responsibilities. You may need to consider taxes, insurance, maintenance costs, probate, family dynamics, and other potential complications. We make selling your inherited property fast and easy with our all-cash selling process. No fees, commissions, or closing costs – you keep all the profits.
Fast Cash
Cash sales offer certainty if you’re under time constraints or financial pressure. Traditional sales can fall through due to financing issues or inspection problems. Selling your house fast for cash means you will be able to access the funds from the sale immediately, without delays from mortgages or loan payoffs.
