We buy ugly houses — Oakland, CA

Last updated: September 24, 2026

What affects the price

When we look at your property, we aren't just checking the address. We evaluate the current condition of the foundation, roof, and major systems like plumbing or electrical. If your home needs significant repairs, that affects our offer because we take on the cost of those renovations ourselves. The local market demand and how quickly houses are selling in your specific neighborhood play a role as well. We want to be fair, so we look at the potential after updates versus what the home needs right now. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Don't worry about the condition of your property; we specialize in homes that need significant work. If your house has outdated features, structural issues, or hasn't been updated in decades, we are still interested. You don't need to paint, fix the roof, or deal with plumbing problems before selling to us. We buy the home exactly as it stands today. This service is designed for homeowners who want to unload a property that is too much to manage.
