From Richmond to Brentwood, we buy homes throughout Contra Costa County as-is for cash. No repairs, and no agent commission paid to Summit. A written offer after a property review, and a closing date agreed in writing.
No obligation. No pressure. We review the property and reply with a written offer.
Contra Costa County runs from Richmond and the west-county cities, through Concord and central county, to Antioch, Pittsburg, Brentwood and east county. Which rules affect your sale depends on the jurisdiction: Antioch, for example, has its own rent stabilization and just-cause program (City of Antioch Rent Program); other cities and the unincorporated county have their own rules, and permit and inspection requirements differ by city. Confirm which apply to your address before relying on any general statement.
Our team's real estate experience includes more than 200 homes since 2018. Whether you own an older bungalow in Antioch that needs work, a mid-century home in Pittsburg with deferred maintenance, a Walnut Creek property in an estate, or a newer Brentwood tract home where plans changed, we review it as-is and put the price, costs and closing date in writing.
We are not an algorithm. We work with you by phone, text and email, review the property and any tenancy, and make a written offer that explains how the number was reached.
See How Our Process WorksForeclosure, divorce, inherited property, major repairs needed, problem tenants — we've seen it all and we still buy.
The costs that come off the price (your payoff, any liens and any costs set out in the contract) are itemized on the settlement statement before closing, so the number you receive is explained line by line.
The closing date is agreed in writing. We may be able to close as early as seven days after you accept our offer, subject to clear title, escrow readiness and agreed contract terms, or later if you need time.
We are not a national franchise. You deal with the same small team from the first call to closing, and every term is in writing before you sign.

What to check in the written offer
Price basis: the comparable sales and repair assumptions behind the number, in writing.
Costs: no agent commission paid to Summit; the payoff, any liens and any costs set out in the contract come off the price and appear on the settlement statement.
Timeline: a closing date agreed in writing; early closing is possible subject to clear title, escrow readiness and agreed terms.
Condition: sold as-is with no repairs or cleaning; your disclosure duties still apply.
Purchaser: the agreement names the buyer and any assignment provisions, funding conditions and contingencies.
What to check in the listing estimate
Price basis: an as-is estimate and a repaired estimate, with the repairs and preparation costed separately.
Costs: negotiated agent compensation, seller closing costs, repairs, carrying costs and any buyer credits.
Timeline: preparation and marketing, then the buyer's financing and inspection contingencies, then escrow.
Condition: showings and inspections; repair requests after inspection are common.
Outcome: often a higher sale price over a longer timeline; compare the estimated net of each route after payoffs and costs before deciding.
Occupied rental. The tenancy and the tenant's rights continue with the property, and statewide rules plus any city ordinance keep applying after the sale. The security deposit must be transferred to the buyer or returned to the tenant with the required written notice; arrange it through escrow. Have the lease, rent ledger and deposit records ready, and expect the occupancy terms to be written into the agreement. Background: selling a house with tenants in California.
Inherited property. Letters or trust documents showing who can sign, the deed, the mortgage statement and any lien or tax notices. Out-of-area heirs can complete the sale through escrow with electronic signatures. Background: selling an inherited house in California.
Foreclosure timeline. A sale can end the foreclosure only if the loan is paid off or resolved with the lender before the trustee sale; signing a contract does not stop the sale. Have the Notice of Default, any sale date and a dated payoff quote ready, and confirm dates with the servicer and trustee. Stages: California foreclosure timeline.
