Case studies · Los Angeles

Six sales, and why each one went the way it did.

What the seller came in asking for, what we did, and how it ended. In Jose’s own words, grouped by the path each sale took.

Path one

The cash offer

One number, signed, closing at a local title company in about 17 days.

    Path one · The cash offer

    Beautiful, but up against new construction

    Their home was beautiful but competing against brand new construction, and they didn’t wanna spend months battling it out on the open market. So, for them, privacy, speed, and certainty were more important.

    A trustee sale, stopped

    roughly $250K More than at auction

    In Los Angeles, a homeowner was deep in foreclosure after listing the property for over a year with no success. The lender was losing patience. A trustee sale date was looming, and the borrower and lender weren’t communicating well at all.

    Path one · The cash offer

    A fourplex with long-term tenants

    3 of 4 Units delivered vacant

    A retiring couple owned a fourplex for decades, but with long-term tenants paying below market and mounting deferred maintenance, the property was draining them. The daughter stepped in to help, but a traditional listing wasn’t realistic. They needed speed and certainty.

Path two

The renovation money goes in first

I fund the repairs up front, up to $150,000, then it lists and sells, and the money comes back out of the proceeds at closing.

    The last 20% of a renovation

    about $500K Better than the cash option

    When John came to Rapid Close, he was exhausted. He’d done most of the hard work on a big renovation, but the last 20% had him completely overwhelmed. Between contractors, permits, budget overruns, and just everyday life, he was ready to be done. So, naturally, he asked us for a cash offer.

    A tired rental, turned into a down payment

    about $200K She walked away with

    A client came to us ready for a new beginning. She had purchased her first home years ago, and after moving out and renting it out for about 15 years, it was now time to sell. She and her husband wanted to buy their forever home, but the rental had been neglected, and selling it as is would not get her where she needed to be.

Path three

The one we build around your situation

Cash, funding or a listing, whichever the situation calls for. For when the house is not the actual problem.

  • The red-tagged house as found: weathered board siding and a roof caved in under blue tarp As found

    Path three · Built around your situation

    A red-tagged house and a 50% claim

    When we first met the family in La Mirada, they were overwhelmed. The home they’d inherited had been in the family for 70 years, but after heavy rains, the roof caved in and the city red-tagged it. On top of that, after a death in the family, there was an heir who was entitled to half the estate and was pressing hard for their share.
