How it started: one seller, a sale date, and 28 days
Casey was working in real estate during the 2008 recession when one listing appointment changed the direction of his career.
I sat down with an older woman who was in tears. Her husband had recently passed away, she’d been in the hospital for a while, and her house had a sale date in 28 days. It was all she had for retirement. The house needed a lot of work, so she was going to take a loss on the market anyway, and there wasn’t enough time to sell it before the sale date. I remembered a book I’d read about buying houses for cash, so I offered that as an option. It wasn’t planned. It closed before the sale date and worked out beautifully for her.
Casey TeVault, owner
That sale showed Casey that sellers need a second option when listing doesn’t make sense. He’s offered both ever since: a cash sale when timing or condition makes listing hard, and a traditional listing when that will net the seller more.
When a cash sale makes more sense than listing
Listing works well for a lot of homes. These are the situations where sellers usually come out ahead selling for cash:
- A foreclosure or trustee’s sale date coming up (how that works)
- A house that needs more work than you want to put into it
- Not wanting strangers walking through your home for showings
- A job transfer or move with a hard deadline
- A divorce
- An inherited or probate house (selling a probate house)
- A house full of belongings, including hoarder houses (how we handle it)
- A home with lots of pets and the wear that comes with them
- Tax liens, code violations, or other title problems (selling with a lien)
See real examples: the Delgado family in Chino, who sold before a foreclosure sale and closed in 22 days, and Ralston in San Bernardino, who sold an inherited house with liens on it from out of state. Or browse all our seller guides by situation.
Why sellers choose a local buyer over a national company
With a big national company, you deal with four or five different people from start to finish, and you’re just another deal. With us, you get me. To me, sellers are real people doing real life with real concerns about selling their property, and I care about making sure they get the outcome they want.
Casey TeVault, owner
One person, start to finish
You talk to Casey on the first call, and he is still your contact at closing. No call center, no handoffs.
Two options, honest advice
Casey can show you what a cash sale nets next to what listing might, and tell you which makes more sense for your house.
No pressure
If our offer doesn’t work for you, say no. We won’t tie your house up under contract while we shop it, and we won’t come back later with a lower number.
