Nationwide Home Owners
Get a Real Cash Offer on Your Home
Not a virtual cash value. Not an instant number an algorithm spits out in thirty seconds. A real written offer from a real buyer with real money, wherever your home is.
Tell me about the property and I’ll take it to the cash buyers and investors I work with directly. You’ll get their offer alongside an honest look at what the same home would bring on the open market, so you can compare the two side by side. No fee, no repairs first, no obligation to sell.
What makes it real
Anyone can plug an address into a website and get a “cash value” in a few seconds. That number is a computer’s guess, it’s free because it’s worth what you paid for it, and nobody behind it has committed a dollar.
What I bring you is different: a named buyer, verified proof of funds, a price, terms, and a closing date you can actually hold someone to.
- A written offer from a funded buyer, not an online estimate
- No repairs, no cleaning, no staging required
- No showings and no open houses unless you want them
- You pick the closing date, from about two weeks out to several months
- Free market-value comparison included, so you can see what you’d be trading for the convenience
- Zero obligation, and zero pressure if the number isn’t right for you

The Process
Four Steps, About a Week Start to Finish
No hoops, no fine print, and nothing you have to sign to get your number.
You Send the Details
Fill out the form above with the address and a few basics. Photos help but they’re not required.
I Do the Homework
I pull the recent sales around you, look at the condition, and take your property to the cash buyers and investors I work with directly.
You Get Two Numbers
A cash offer with terms and a closing window, plus what I believe the home would realistically sell for on the open market.
You Choose, or You Don’t
Take the cash offer, go the traditional route, or set the whole thing aside. Either way you keep the information.
Common Situations
When a Cash Offer Makes Real Sense
A cash sale isn’t the right answer for every home. It’s the right answer when certainty and speed are worth more to you than squeezing out the last dollar.
Inherited or Probate Property
You’re managing an estate from a distance, the house is full of a lifetime of belongings, and the family wants a clean resolution rather than a six-month project.
The Home Needs Work
Deferred maintenance, an older roof, dated systems. A cash buyer takes it as it sits, so you’re not writing checks to contractors before you can sell.
Relocation or a Job Change
You have a start date. A cash close on a date you choose removes the guesswork from moving two households at once.
Tenant-Occupied or a Rental You’re Done With
Showings around tenants are difficult. Investor buyers often welcome the tenant in place, which keeps everyone’s life simpler.
Divorce, Downsizing or a Life Change
When the goal is to close a chapter cleanly, a defined timeline and a known number are worth a great deal.
You Simply Don’t Want the Circus
No strangers walking through on Sunday, no keeping the house spotless for weeks, no waiting on somebody else’s loan approval.
An Honest Comparison
Cash Offer vs. Selling on the Open Market
Most cash offer websites don’t show you this part. I’d rather you see it up front, because the right decision depends entirely on which column matters more to you.
| Cash Offer | Traditional Listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Net proceeds | Typically below full market value in exchange for speed and certainty | Usually the highest possible price when the home is prepared and marketed well |
| Time to close | Often two to three weeks | Commonly 30 to 60 days once you’re in contract |
| Repairs and prep | None. The buyer takes the home as-is | Recommended, and it’s usually what drives the higher price |
| Showings | Typically one walkthrough | Broker tour, open houses and private showings |
| Financing risk | No lender, so no appraisal or loan fallout | Most buyers are financed, which adds appraisal and loan contingencies |
| Certainty | High. A defined number and a defined date | Strong in a healthy market, but the final number isn’t known until you’re in contract |
Why Work Through Me
You Get an Advocate, Not Just an Offer
Anyone can put a number in front of you. What most sellers don’t get is somebody on their side of the table reading the terms, checking the buyer’s ability to perform, and telling them honestly when the offer isn’t good enough.
That’s the part I handle. I’m a licensed Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Realty and a Certified Real Estate Negotiator, and the resources of one of the most recognized names in real estate stand behind every conversation we have. I also hold a Home Improvement Salesperson license and keep an active contractor network, so if a modest amount of work would move your number significantly, I can tell you what that work costs before you decide anything.
- I bring you multiple cash buyers when the property fits, not a single take-it-or-leave-it number
- I verify proof of funds before you ever rearrange your life around a closing date
- I read the contingencies, the inspection windows and the cancellation terms with you
- You always see the market-value alternative, even when it means I recommend against the cash offer
- A national network of cash buyers and investors, plus deep local expertise across the East Bay
Questions Sellers Ask Me
Before You Fill Out the Form
My home isn’t in California. Can you still help?
Yes. The cash offer doesn’t depend on where I’m licensed, because the investors and cash buyers in my network purchase directly from you as the buyer. I bring you their offer and walk you through the terms wherever your home is.
What changes is the representation. In California I can also act as your agent and list the home on the open market if the cash offer isn’t the right fit. Outside California I’ll connect you with a licensed agent in your market for that side of it.
Is this really no obligation?
Yes. Requesting the offer costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. There’s no listing agreement attached to it and no penalty for saying no. Plenty of people request a number, decide the timing isn’t right, and circle back a year later.
How is this different from the instant cash offer sites?
Those sites give you a computer-generated value in a few seconds. It’s an estimate, not an offer. No buyer has looked at your home, nobody has committed funds, and the number often changes once someone actually inspects the place. What I bring you is an offer a specific buyer has agreed to, with proof of funds behind it and terms in writing. It takes a few days instead of a few seconds, and it means something.
Who is actually buying my home?
Depending on the property, offers come from local investors, renovation buyers and cash buyers I work with directly. I’ll tell you who the buyer is and confirm their proof of funds before you commit to anything.
Will I get less than market value?
Usually, yes, and I’d rather say that plainly. A cash buyer is paying for speed, certainty and the ability to take the home as-is. What you should be comparing is the cash number against your realistic net after prep costs, carrying costs and time on the market. That comparison comes with your offer.
Do I have to clean it out or fix anything?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest. That’s often the single biggest relief for families dealing with an inherited home.
How fast can we close?
Two to three weeks is common with no lender involved. If you need more time to find your next place, we can set the closing date further out. You drive the calendar.
What if the cash offer isn’t enough?
Then we look at the other paths. Sometimes a small amount of prep work and a proper listing nets you significantly more, and there’s a Coldwell Banker program that can fund that work with nothing out of your pocket up front. More on that below.
Coldwell Banker Concierge
Up to $75,000
Fund the Work Now, Pay for It at Closing
If the cash offer comes in lower than you hoped, it’s often because the home needs work you’d rather not pay for out of pocket. That’s exactly the gap the Concierge program closes.
Through Coldwell Banker Realty, qualified sellers can access funds for pre-sale improvements with nothing due up front. The work gets done, the home hits the market showing its best, and the funds are repaid out of your proceeds at closing.
- $0 out of pocket up frontYou don’t write a check to start the work.
- Repaid at closingFunds, interest and applicable fees are settled from your sale proceeds when the home closes.
- Choose your own contractorsNo required vendor list, and no third-party project manager between you and the crew.
- Covers what actually moves the needlePaint, flooring, landscaping, repairs, deep cleaning, staging, storage and moving costs.
- I coordinate the whole thingMy contractor network, my walkthrough, my scope of work, and a clear estimate of what each dollar is likely to return.
Concierge is a home improvement financing program available to qualified sellers with an active listing agreement. Financing is provided by a third-party lender, not by Coldwell Banker Realty. Funding amounts, interest rates and fees are determined by the lender and are subject to credit approval, available equity and program requirements. Not all applicants will qualify. Funds, interest and applicable fees are repaid at closing, upon expiration or cancellation of the listing, or twelve months after funding, whichever occurs first. Program terms are subject to change. Ask Chris for the current program disclosure before you enroll.
