We've bought houses in every corner of Alameda County, and East Oakland — the broad southeast area from Fruitvale to the San Leandro line — is squarely inside our buy area. Our process is deliberately simple: tell us about the property by phone or the form below, get a written as-is cash offer within 24 hours, and if the number works, pick a closing date as soon as 7 days out. No commissions, no fees, no inspection-period renegotiation.
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.

Everything from straightforward relocations to complicated ones: inherited and probate property, pre-foreclosure, tax default, divorce, fire or water damage, tenant-occupied rentals, vacant houses, and code-violation properties. Complicated is normal for us.
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.
