We provide fair, competitive cash offers based on your home’s location, condition, size, and recent comparable sales in your Orange County neighborhood. Our offers typically range from 70-85% of your home’s after-repair value (ARV), but here’s what makes our offers attractive:

You save on:

  • Real estate agent commissions (typically 5-6% or $30,000-$50,000+)
  • Repairs and renovation costs (often $10,000-$50,000+)
  • Closing costs (2-3% of sale price)
  • Carrying costs during a long sale (mortgage, utilities, taxes)
  • Staging, cleaning, and preparation expenses

The result? Many sellers walk away with similar or more net proceeds compared to a traditional sale, without the time, stress, or uncertainty.

We provide a transparent breakdown showing exactly how we calculated your offer. Get your free, no-obligation cash offer in 24 hours.

As fast as 7 days – or on your timeline!

Unlike traditional sales that can take 30-90 days (or longer), we can close in as little as one week because we pay cash and don’t rely on bank financing. However, we understand everyone’s situation is different.

Your timeline options:

  • Express closing: 7-10 days (when you need to sell immediately)
  • Standard closing: 14-21 days (most common)
  • Flexible closing: 30-90 days (if you need time to move or make plans)

You choose the closing date that works best for your situation. Whether you’re facing foreclosure, need to relocate for work, or just want a quick, stress-free sale – we work on your schedule.

Absolutely not! We buy houses in 100% as-is condition – no repairs, no renovations, no cleaning required.
We buy houses with:

  • Foundation problems
  • Roof damage or leaks
  • Mold or water damage
  • Termite or pest issues
  • Outdated kitchens and bathrooms
  • Electrical or plumbing problems
  • Fire or earthquake damage
  • Code violations
  • Overgrown yards
  • Clutter or hoarding situations

You don’t even need to:

  • Paint walls
  • Replace carpets
  • Fix broken appliances
  • Clean the house
  • Remove personal belongings (we can help arrange removal if needed)

We handle everything after closing. Sell your house exactly as it is today.

Yes, we can help! We frequently work with homeowners who are behind on mortgage payments or facing foreclosure.

Here’s how we help:

  • We can pay off your mortgage balance directly at closing
  • Stop foreclosure proceedings before the auction date
  • Help you avoid the credit damage of foreclosure
  • Close quickly to resolve the situation fast
  • Sometimes help you walk away with cash even after paying off the loan

Time is critical if you’re facing foreclosure. The earlier you contact us, the more options we have to help.

Important: Every situation is different. We’ll review your specific circumstances, mortgage balance, and home value to determine if a cash sale is your best option. We may also discuss alternatives like loan modification or short sale if those are better for your situation.

Facing foreclosure? Don’t wait – call (866) 642-5829 for immediate assistance.

We buy houses in every Orange County city and neighborhood – all 34 incorporated cities plus unincorporated areas.

Major cities we serve:
Anaheim • Irvine • Santa Ana • Huntington Beach • Newport Beach • Costa Mesa • Fullerton • Orange • Garden Grove • Mission Viejo • Laguna Beach • Lake Forest • San Clemente • Dana Point • Tustin • Yorba Linda • Westminster • Buena Park • Fountain Valley • Seal Beach • Brea • Placentia • Laguna Niguel • Aliso Viejo • Rancho Santa Margarita • San Juan Capistrano • Laguna Hills • Laguna Woods • Cypress • La Habra • La Palma • Los Alamitos • Stanton • Villa Park

From the beach cities to inland communities, historic neighborhoods to master-planned developments, luxury estates to modest homes – if it’s in Orange County, we buy it.

Great question! Both options work, but they’re very different. Here’s an honest comparison:

Selling with a Real Estate Agent:

  • Timeline: 30-90+ days (average 60 days in Orange County)
  • Commission: 5-6% ($30,000-$50,000 on a $750K house)
  • Repairs: Usually need repairs, staging, deep cleaning
  • Process: Photography, showings, open houses, strangers touring your home
  • Certainty: Deals can fall through (20-30% of sales fail)
  • Negotiations: Back and forth with buyers, contingencies, inspection repairs

Selling to First Choice Home Sale:

  • Timeline: 7-90 days – you choose!
  • Commission: $0 – no fees or commissions
  • Repairs: None – sell as-is in any condition
  • Process: One quick visit, private and discreet
  • Certainty: Cash offer = guaranteed closing, no financing contingencies
  • Negotiations: Simple, straightforward offer – take it or leave it

The bottom line: Agents are great if you have time, your house is in good condition, and you want maximum market exposure. We’re better if you need speed, convenience, certainty, or have a house that needs work.

No fees. No commissions. No hidden costs. Zero.

When we make you an offer, that’s the amount you receive at closing (minus any existing mortgage/liens that need to be paid off – which would be deducted in any sale).

What we cover:

  • All closing costs
  • Title and escrow fees
  • Transfer taxes
  • Recording fees
  • Property inspections (if we choose to do them)
  • All title work

What you pay:

Nothing! $0 out of pocket.

Comparison:

  • Traditional sale: You typically pay 8-10% in total costs (6% agent commission + 2-4% closing costs)
  • Our cash offer: 0% in fees or commissions

The offer we give you is the money you receive. Simple, transparent, and honest.

Great! Here’s exactly what happens next:

Step 1: Initial Contact (Within 1-2 Hours) We’ll call or text you to confirm we received your information and ask a few quick questions about your property (condition, situation, timeline, etc.). This call typically takes 5-10 minutes.

Step 2: Property Evaluation (Same Day) We’ll research your property using:

  • Public records and tax assessments
  • Recent comparable sales in your neighborhood
  • Current Orange County market conditions
  • Information you provided about the property

Step 3: Cash Offer (Within 24 Hours) We’ll present you with a fair, no-obligation cash offer, including:

  • The exact amount we’ll pay
  • Transparent breakdown of how we calculated it
  • Your estimated net proceeds
  • Flexible closing date options

Step 4: Your Decision (No Pressure) Take your time to review the offer. You can:

  • Accept the offer and move forward
  • Ask questions or request clarification
  • Think it over (no expiration on most offers)
  • Decline with no hard feelings

Step 5: If You Accept (Fast & Easy)

  • We open escrow with a local title company
  • You choose your closing date
  • We handle all paperwork
  • You sign documents at closing
  • You receive your cash

Total time from submission to cash in hand: As little as 7-10 days, or longer if you prefer.

No spam, no pressure, no obligation. Just honest communication and a fair offer.
