A clear, four-step cash sale process

MeritHomeBuyers makes it simple to sell your house fast in Southern California. Explore our timeline, what to expect, and how our team supports you from first call to closing.

Schedule my consultation

Tell us about your property and we will reach out with a fair cash offer in 24 hours.

Share any details about the property's condition, tenants, or timeline.

Secure form. Your information is kept confidential and never sold.

1. Connect & share your goals

Start with a quick phone call or form submission. We collect property basics, discuss your timeline, and answer any preliminary questions. No pressure—just a clear conversation.

2. Walk-through & offer presentation

We complete a virtual or in-person walk-through to understand the property’s condition. Within 24 hours you receive a written cash offer backed by proof of funds and comparable sales.

3. Choose your closing date

You decide when to close—anywhere from 7 to 45 days. Need time to move? We can offer rent-back options or flexible possession dates.

4. Close with confidence

Our transaction coordinator works with local escrow officers to finalize documents. We cover standard closing costs and deliver your funds via wire, cashier’s check, or escrow pick-up.

What makes our process different

We’re a local team with a repeatable process built on communication and trust. Sellers work with one point of contact, receive honest guidance, and can walk away at any time before signing.

  • Transparent pricing: Every offer includes a simple breakdown showing how we arrived at your cash price.
  • Dedicated support: Stay informed with twice-weekly updates from your coordinator until closing day.
  • Flexible solutions: Need help with clean-out, relocation, or tenant communication? We coordinate it for you.

Your timeline, your move

• Close in 7–14 days when you need speed
• Select a future date if you need more time
• Stay in the home after closing with a short-term leaseback
• We handle escrow, title, and documentation—no surprises

What we need from you

Keep things simple—no staging, showings, or repairs. We’ll request basic property details, recent updates, and any known issues so we can provide an accurate offer without delay.

  • • Address and quick overview of the property
  • • Current occupancy status (owner, tenants, vacant)
  • • Your preferred timing to close and move
  • • Any upgrades or repairs completed in the last five years

Not sure if a cash offer is right?

We’ll walk through what you might net on the open market versus our cash offer, factoring in repairs, holding costs, and your timeline. Our goal is to help you choose confidently—even if that means listing with an agent.
