Houses in Cherryland sell for cash every month — to buyers like us who don't need a lender's appraisal, an insurance sign-off, or a 45-day escrow. Cherryland is an unincorporated strip between Hayward and San Lorenzo, and we price it like the local market it is. If you're weighing a fast direct sale against a traditional listing, get our written offer first: it's free, it takes 24 hours, and it gives you a real number to compare against.
Request My Cash OfferSelling for cash in Alameda County means navigating some of California's oldest housing stock — Victorians and craftsman homes over a century old — plus city-specific wrinkles like Oakland and Berkeley rent-control and relocation ordinances on tenant-occupied properties. We buy with tenants in place and handle the ordinance compliance ourselves, take unpermitted work as-is, and close through East Bay title offices. Whether it's an island-city Victorian in Alameda or an unincorporated Castro Valley ranch home, you get a written offer in 24 hours and pick your closing date.

Most of the Cherryland homeowners who call us aren't in a simple situation — they're navigating one of these. Each links to a full guide.
Free, written, no-obligation. We respond within 24 hours.
None. No agent commissions, no service fees, no closing costs charged to you. The written offer is the amount you receive at closing, minus only your existing mortgage payoff and any liens on title.
As fast as 7 days from an accepted offer when title is clean. We buy with our own funds, so there's no lender approval, appraisal, or financing contingency in the way. If you need longer — 30, 45, or 60 days to coordinate a move — you pick the date.
Yes. Roughly a third of the homeowners we talk with decide a traditional listing serves them better, and we tell them so when it's true. The offer is free, in writing, and yours to compare against any other option.
Not meaningfully. Unincorporated Alameda County properties close the same way as city properties; the county handles recording. Where it does matter — septic systems, wells, larger parcels, county code enforcement — we're already familiar with the county's requirements and handle them at close.
