Sell your San Jose house as-is, for cash
We are a San Jose company that buys houses in San Jose directly from owners with our own funds. You get a written cash offer, you pick the closing date, and you do not repair, clean or show the home. We are investors buying for ourselves, not real estate agents, so there is no listing and no commission.
Homes we have bought in San Jose: 95148 (closed in 7 days), 95116 (closed in 10 days) and 95132 (closed in 12 days).
The San Jose market right now
Single-family homes in San Jose sold for a median of $1,568,888 in September 2026, across 367 sales, and took an average of 28 days to sell, according to the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors (SCCAOR), September 2026 report. With hundreds of sales a month, updated homes in good condition still sell on the open market. A direct cash sale makes the most sense when the house needs work, has a complication, or you need a certain date.
Situations we see often in San Jose
- Unpermitted additions. Garage conversions and back units built without permits can stall a regular sale when the buyer’s lender or inspector flags them. We buy the house as it is.
- Older homes that need major work. Many San Jose houses were built in the 1950s to 1970s. Roof, electrical panel, foundation or sewer line repairs are on us, not you.
- Inherited and probate homes. We work with the family and the estate’s attorney, and you can leave behind anything you do not want to keep.
- Homes with tenants. You do not need the home vacant to sell to us.
- Behind on payments. If you have received a Notice of Default, you have more options than selling, and a free HUD-approved housing counselor can walk you through them. If you do decide to sell to us, your contract includes every cancellation right California law gives homeowners in foreclosure.
How it works
- Tell us about the house. A few questions online or one phone call.
- Get a written offer. We walk through the home once, then send the offer in writing with how we reached the number.
- Close when you are ready. A local title and escrow company handles the closing.
Questions San Jose owners ask us
Do you buy houses with unpermitted additions in San Jose?
Yes. Garage conversions, back rooms and ADUs built without permits are common in older San Jose homes. We price the work needed to legalize or remove them into our offer, so you do not have to fix anything before selling.
Can I sell a house that has tenants in it?
Yes. We can buy with the tenant in place. California tenant protections stay in force after the sale, and we follow them.
Can you buy an inherited house that is still in probate?
Yes. Many probate sales in Santa Clara County can close under the Independent Administration of Estates Act; some need court confirmation. We work with the estate's attorney on whichever path applies.
Will I get less than listing with an agent?
Often, yes, if your home is updated and you have time to prepare and show it. A cash sale trades some price for speed, certainty and no repairs. We will tell you plainly if listing looks like the better choice for you.
