We Buy Houses in Alameda County, California
Selling a home in Alameda County often means dealing with older housing stock, strict buyer expectations, and little patience for properties that aren’t turnkey. When repairs, tenant issues, or timing make a traditional sale unpredictable, many East Bay homeowners choose a direct cash sale to keep control and avoid delays.

How to Get a Cash Offer in Alameda County
A simple, no-pressure process designed for homeowners who want certainty, speed, and zero hassle.
1. Contact Us
Tell us what’s happening with the property and what outcome you’re looking for. We’re investors, not agents. So there’s no discussion about staging, open houses, or listing strategy.
2. Quick local walkthrough
A local Osborne Homes representative discusses the home and schedules a walkthrough to understand its true condition, especially common East Bay concerns like aging infrastructure or deferred maintenance.
3. Choose Your Closing Date
If the offer works for you, we handle the paperwork and coordinate a closing date that fits your situation. Many Alameda County homes close in as little as 7 days, with no fees, no repairs, and no cleaning required.
Situations Where We Help Alameda County Homeowners Sell Fast
In Alameda County, sales often stall when condition, regulation, or access becomes an issue. We buy houses as-is and adapt the process around your circumstances.
Inherited or Probate Property
If you inherited a home in Alameda County, selling may involve older properties, multiple heirs, or out-of-area family members. We buy inherited homes as-is and work around probate timelines without forcing updates.
Sell Inherited House →Major Repairs or “Ugly House”
Many East Bay homes have original wiring, plumbing, or foundations that financed buyers won’t touch. We buy homes as-is and factor needed work into the offer so you don’t have to renovate.
Sell House As-Is →Bad Tenants or Landlord Burnout
Tenant regulations and long timelines can make exiting a rental stressful. We buy properties with tenants in place, unpaid rent, or ongoing issues so you can step away without managing the situation further.
Sell House with Bad Tenants →Foreclosure Pressure or Missed Payments
When payments fall behind, uncertainty grows quickly. A cash sale can move faster than a financed buyer and reduce the risk of delays while deadlines approach.
Sell House in Foreclosure →Fire or Smoke Damage
We buy homes affected by fire or smoke damage, even if repairs haven’t started or insurance claims are unresolved. You don’t need to restore the property before selling.
Sell House with Fire Damage →Water Damage or Mold Issues
From foundation moisture to long-term leaks and mold concerns, we buy Alameda County homes with water damage as-is. The condition is built into the offer so you can avoid remediation delays.
