The repair list ends here. We buy houses as-is in Solano County.
If the thing keeping you from selling is everything you'd have to do first, that part goes away. No repairs, no cleaning, no prep work, no contractors in your life. Just one walkthrough and a written number.
In plain English, with nothing buried in the fine print.
'As-is' is a term that gets used a lot. Here's exactly how we mean it.
Leave it standing
Don't fix the roof, the AC, the leaking valve under the sink, or the back fence. We'll see it the way it is and price from there.
Leave things behind
Furniture, boxes in the garage, items in the attic, the old fridge in the laundry room. Take what you want; we handle the rest.
No repair credits dance
On a listed sale, repair negotiations re-open the price after inspection. Our offer prices condition in once, up front.
Condition is in the number
We won't pretend the house is in better shape than it is to win the contract and then chip away at the price later.
Two columns. One says it all.
Everything that makes selling a tired house exhausting lives on the left.

- Price set once, in writing, with the math
- Clear close date you choose
As-is doesn't mean no disclosure.
Selling as-is means we don't ask you to fix anything, and the price isn't renegotiated after we see the house. It does not remove your disclosure obligations under California law.
Most residential sellers in California still complete a Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) covering known material defects, hazards, and past alterations to the property. That obligation applies whether the home is listed on the market or sold directly to a buyer like us.
Here's how we frame it: you still need to tell us what you know. We won't ask you to fix it — but we do want an honest picture going in, and we don't come back later and renegotiate over something you told us upfront.
This is a normal, expected part of any legitimate sale. It protects both sides and keeps the deal from unraveling after the contract is signed.
Why some houses can't go the traditional route at all.
Many of the homes we look at in Solano County can't easily be financed by a retail buyer using an FHA, VA, or conventional loan — which is often the real reason a seller ends up looking at a direct sale in the first place.
Foundation issues
Settlement cracks, sloping floors, and structural movement scare off most retail buyers and their lenders. We look at them anyway.
Mold
Active moisture, visible growth, or a prior remediation left unfinished — all things we've seen and can plan around.
Roof damage or water intrusion
Failed roofs, active leaks, and past water damage in walls or ceilings are common in the older Solano County housing stock.
Fire or smoke damage
Partial burns, smoke staining, or a home that was never fully rebuilt after a claim — we'll take a look.
Code violations or unpermitted work
Additions built without permits, converted garages, or open notices from the city can stall a listed sale. They don't stop a conversation with us.
Termite damage
Section 1 findings that would normally trigger repair credits or lender pushback don't derail a direct sale.
Electrical or plumbing out of date
Knob-and-tube, ungrounded outlets, galvanized supply lines, or panels that no longer meet current standards are workable for us.
If a house has one or more of these issues, a conventional buyer's lender may not approve financing at all — which can stall or kill a listed sale outright. That's a common reason sellers end up here. For homes where the repair list is the whole story, our major repairs page goes deeper on structural work.
How does condition affect the number?
The offer reflects what the home would likely sell for once repaired, minus the cost of the repairs we'll take on, minus our carrying and resale costs.
That means the offer will be lower than a fully-repaired retail sale price. We're not going to hide that trade-off — it's the honest reason a direct sale exists.
What a seller gives up in price, they gain in certainty, speed, and not having to do or pay for any of the work themselves. No contractor bids, no permit runs, no waiting on a lender's appraisal, no repair-credit negotiation after inspection.
We won't state a percentage or a formula here because the number depends on the specific house. We'll walk you through how we got to our number. If it doesn't work for you, there's no obligation to move forward.
Do I need to clean anything up first?
In most cases, no. Leave it as it is, including belongings you don't want.
The one exception worth mentioning: if there's something that creates a safety hazard for the walkthrough itself — blocked access, a structural concern in a specific area, or a hazardous material you're aware of — a heads-up before the visit helps. Not because it disqualifies the house, but so the team knows what to expect.
Beyond that, light cleanup is your call, never a requirement. If you'd rather walk out and hand us the keys, that works.
The condition questions we hear most often.
If your situation is even messier than these, mention it in the form. Almost nothing surprises us.
Tell us about the house in its current state.
Photos help but aren't required. We'll come look — that's our job. For homes with heavier repair or code issues, our major repairs page goes deeper.
