We’re Here To Help You Sell
Selling your home is a big decision, and you may be wondering, “How can I sell quickly for cash in California?” or “Will Locals Buy Homes offer me a fair deal?”
At Locals Buy Homes, we do things differently. We visit your property in person to provide a clear, accurate, and honest valuation. Whether it’s a house, condo, apartment, or land, we offer fair cash deals—with no commissions, fees, closing costs, or repairs needed. Our goal is to make the process easy, transparent, and completely stress-free.
Our Offers To Buy Your House Are Based On Its After-Repair Value
Before our visit, we perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to estimate your property’s value after professional renovations. This helps us create a fair cash offer by considering the purchase price, upgrade costs, resale value, and our target profit.
When we present your offer, we’ll provide a clear, detailed breakdown so you know exactly how we calculated it and what influenced the final number.
Your Offer:
At Locals Buy Homes, we’re guided by honesty and transparency. Our offers reflect that commitment, and we’re always available to walk you through the details. You deserve clarity and confidence throughout the entire process.
[Your Offer] = [After Repair Value] – [Repair Costs] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]
These are the variables we use to make an offer and an explanation of each item.
After Repair Value (ARV): This is what the market value of your house will be AFTER we buy and renovate the house.
Repairs Costs: These costs will be for fixing/updating the house AFTER we purchase it from you.
Our Selling Costs: We purchase properties directly—no agent needed on your side. After renovations, we use our own agent to handle the resale. We cover all costs, including agent fees, closing costs, taxes, and holding expenses. By selling to us, you avoid the typical costs that can add up to about 10% of your home’s sale price. (Our Selling Cost = 10% x ARV)
Our Minimum Profit:Â While we are a for-profit business, our focus is on keeping margins low to offer you the best possible price. Instead of aiming for a few high-profit deals, we prioritize volume, completing more transactions with smaller margins. This allows us to support more homeowners and build fair, lasting relationships.
Our offers are based on clear, transparent calculations to ensure you receive fair value for your home. We never let urgency influence our pricing—fairness and integrity always come first. You can trust us to be reliable, honest, and ethical in every transaction.
How It Works In More Detail
1. Tell us about your property. Contacting us is the first step toward achieving your real estate goals. We’ll start by discussing your property’s condition and unique features to see if it fits our acquisition criteria. If it does, we’ll schedule a visit to your home.
2. Set Up A Quick Appointment. After assessing how we can assist, we’ll schedule an appointment. Our home buying specialist will conduct a thorough walkthrough to identify any repairs, which we’ll take care of. Then, we’ll present you with a no-obligation cash offer for your property as-is.
3. Choose A Closing Date And Sell. Once you accept our offer, we’ll support you through the closing process with the help of a trusted attorney to ensure everything goes smoothly. We’ll accommodate your schedule and manage all the details. Just attend the closing, sign the paperwork, and receive your cash within hours—no hidden fees or surprises.
While our services may not suit everyone, many homeowners in California rely on us for a simple, straightforward home-selling experience. Unlike traditional agents, we buy directly, offering fast cash deals that close on your schedule, with no hidden fees typical of listings.
We buy properties as-is, saving you time, upfront costs, and the hassle of preparing your home. Whether your property needs minor repairs or is move-in ready, we purchase homes in any condition to keep the process easy and stress-free.
