Path one
The cash offer
One number, signed, closing at a local title company in about 17 days.
Who buys the houseMe, or an investor I bring in. If it’s an investor, I tell you before you sign.
The whole process
How it works, from your address to your closing date.
Three steps, three numbers, and nothing to pay for any of it.
Start to finish
Three steps, and you know all three before you give me anything.
-
You tell me about the house.
A few questions, on the form or the phone: the address, what shape it’s in, what’s going on. Maisha usually picks up. Her job is to get me to your kitchen table, not to talk you into anything.
Day 0 · a few questions
Get my cash offer -
I bring you all three numbers in writing.
I walk it with Marco, who sells the houses I buy and sits in on every seller meeting. You get the comps, the repair estimate and all three numbers on the spot. Not a “let me run this by my team.”
All three numbers, at the table
See all three numbers explained -
You pick the path and the date.
You choose, I execute. Cash closes in about 17 days at a local title company. On path two the renovation starts and I handle every contractor, permit, photo and showing.
Cash closes in about 17 days
Questions before you pick
The fork in the road
Three numbers, three ways out. This is where you choose.
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.
Who buys the houseA buyer on the open market, once the work is done.
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.
Who buys the houseDepends on the plan: me, an investor or a buyer on the open market. You know which before you sign.
Sometimes the honest answer is none of these: a plain listing with no renovation and no advance, or keeping the house. If that is what the numbers say, I will say it at your kitchen table, and this process ends with you better informed and me with nothing.
The trade
The list of things you never have to do.
I do the work and the mess. You make the decision.
- Clean the house, before the visit or after
- Make a single repair, on any path
- Empty the garage, the closets or the attic
- Evict anyone, or get squatters out, before you sell
- Pay for the walkthrough, the comps, or any of the three numbers
- Fly back to California if you have already left
- Pick tile, hire contractors, or manage a renovation
- Decide anything at the kitchen table, the numbers keep
Questions
Questions people ask about the process.
What happens after I fill out the form?
Maisha or I call you, usually the same day. A few questions about the house and what is going on, then we set up the visit. There is no cost and no obligation at any point before you sign.
Do I need to clean up before the walkthrough?
No. Don't clean, don't apologise, don't explain the garage. The condition changes the number, it does not change how I treat you. I have bought houses in every condition there is.
Who actually comes to my house?
Me and Marco, the agent who sells the houses I buy. The same two people every time. No inspectors, no photographers, nobody you have not been told about by name.
What do I need to have ready?
Nothing. No paperwork, no mortgage statement, no idea what the house is worth. If the house is in probate or a trust, tell me on the call, I have been through the paperwork side of that many times.
What if I get the numbers and do nothing?
Then you did the smart thing: you found out what your options are worth. The numbers are yours to keep, and no is a complete answer.
Can I stop the texts?
Reply STOP to any text and they stop. That one is a switch, not a promise, it works whether or not anyone reads your reply.
Can I close if I have already moved out of state?
Yes. Escrow handles the signing remotely. You need a phone, not a plane ticket.
Start with the address
You know the whole process now. Step one is an address.
You’ll know all three numbers before I leave your kitchen. And if listing it the ordinary way is the better move for you, I’ll say so out loud.
- No repairs, on any path
- Nothing to pay for the visit
- No obligation to take any of the three
Maisha or I answer these ourselves, usually the same day.
