Sell Your Reseda House Fast, Exactly As It Sits

Reseda is 1950s tract housing that has been through a lot, including sitting at the epicenter of the 1994 quake. We buy houses here with foundation, framing, and retrofit issues that stop retail buyers cold.

We're a local buyer, not a lead-generation site. Your information isn't sold and you won't get eleven phone calls for filling out this form.

The 1994 Northridge earthquake was centered under Reseda, and its effects are still in the housing stock. Cripple wall damage, chimneys that were taken down and never rebuilt properly, repairs done under emergency permits or under no permit at all, and slab issues that got patched cosmetically.

Most of these houses are fine to live in and difficult to sell, because the moment an inspector writes up "possible structural" a financed buyer's lender starts asking questions the seller cannot answer without spending money.

What we buy in Reseda

  • 1950s and 1960s tract homes throughout 91335, in original condition or worse
  • Houses with foundation, cripple wall, or seismic retrofit issues
  • Properties with repairs done under old emergency permits, or with no permit record at all
  • Homes with additions off the back that do not match the county's square footage
  • Tenant-occupied houses and small income properties near Sherman Way and Reseda Blvd
  • Estate sales, trust sales, and hoarding-condition properties

The square footage problem

This comes up constantly in Reseda. The tax record says 1,150 square feet, the house measures 1,600, and the extra 450 came from an addition somebody did in 1987. On a retail sale, the appraiser only counts permitted space, so the buyer's loan gets sized to a smaller house and the deal blows up over the gap. To us, the space is worth what it is worth. We buy the house that exists.

Structural and foundation issues

You do not need to get a soils report, a structural engineer, or a bid before talking to us, and you should be cautious about spending money on any of that in order to sell. We will look, we will price it with the problem included, and if the problem turns out to be smaller than it looks, that is on us, not you.

How selling to us works

Three steps, and you can stop at any one of them. Most sellers we talk to are simply trying to find out what the house is worth as-is before deciding anything.

1

You tell us about the house

Address, condition, and what's going on. Five minutes on the phone. We'll tell you straight away if we're not the right buyer.

2

We walk the property

One visit, usually 20–30 minutes. No cleaning, no repairs, no staging. Tenants and belongings can stay right where they are.

3

You get a written offer

Typically within 24 hours of the walkthrough, with the number broken down so you can see how we got there.

4

You pick the closing date

Escrow at a local title company. As little as two weeks if you need speed, or ninety days if you'd rather take your time. We can also leave you in the house after closing.

Reseda sellers ask us

The house has foundation problems. Will you still make an offer?

Yes. Foundation and structural issues are one of the most common reasons Reseda sellers end up talking to a cash buyer — a financed buyer usually cannot close on those properties at all.

Should I get repair estimates before I call?

No. Do not spend money to sell a house as-is. We will do our own diligence at our cost.

Does an unpermitted addition reduce your offer?

It affects it, but far less than it affects a retail sale — the retail sale often does not happen at all. That gap is the reason this call is worth making.

Situations we handle

Most of the houses we buy come with something attached to them — a probate, a tenant, an addition nobody permitted. None of it is a dealbreaker.
