Questions California sellers ask before reaching out.
Selling a house when life gets complicated brings up a lot of questions. Here are the ones I hear most from sellers across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and the Inland Empire. If yours isn't here, just call or text me. I answer my own phone.
How quickly can I sell my house in California?
I can close in as little as 7 days. Once you accept my cash offer, we move on your timeline. If you need 14 days, 30 days, or two months, that's fine. The point is you decide when, not me.

What if my house is in bad condition?
I buy houses in any condition across California. Roof issues, foundation problems, fire damage, hoarder situations, full gut jobs. You don't fix anything. You don't even clean. Leave behind whatever you don't want and I'll handle it.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. No commissions, no closing costs, no hidden fees. What I offer is what you walk away with at closing. I'm not going to put a number in front of you and then chip away at it later. That's not how I work.
Do I have to clean or remove unwanted items?
Take what you want and leave the rest. I've bought houses across California with furniture still in them, garages full of tools, attics full of decades of stuff. None of that bothers me. I'll handle the cleaning and clearing out.
What types of properties do you buy?
Single-family homes, multi-family, condos, townhouses, mobile homes, vacant land. I buy across Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Diego, and the Inland Empire. If it's in California and you want to sell it, reach out. If it's not the right fit for me, I'll tell you that too.
What happens after I fill out the form?
I'll text or call you within 24 hours. We'll have a real conversation about the property, no pressure, no script. After that, I'll put together a fair cash offer and walk you through exactly how I got to the number. If you accept, we set a closing date that works for you.
What if I'm facing foreclosure?
I work with homeowners facing foreclosure regularly across California. Selling fast for cash can stop the foreclosure process and let you walk away with money in your pocket instead of nothing. Don't wait until the auction date. The earlier you reach out, the more options you have.

Can I still sell if I have tenants?
Yes. I buy houses with tenants in place across LA, OC, San Diego, and the Inland Empire. Bad tenants, good tenants, tenants you can't reach. We work it out together. If you're a tired landlord ready to be done, this is what I do.
Why should I sell to you instead of listing with a realtor?
Honestly? If your house is in great shape, fully updated, and you've got six months to wait, listing with an agent will probably net you more money. That's the truth. What I offer is different: speed, certainty, and simplicity. No repairs, no showings, no waiting on financing that might fall through. If your situation calls for that, I'm your buyer. If it doesn't, I'll tell you. Learn more about how I work.
What if I'm not sure about selling yet?
That's fine. My offer comes with no obligation. You can talk to me, get a number, and walk away. I'm not going to follow up with a call every week trying to wear you down. That's not me. When you're ready, you'll know where to find me.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents list properties and wait for buyers to show interest. The average California home takes 91 days to sell that way, and you pay 5-6% commission plus closing costs. I'm not an agent. I'm the buyer. I purchase the house directly from you with cash, no commission, no waiting on financing, no inspection contingency that lets a buyer back out. See the side-by-side breakdown below.
How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
I look at four things: the location (the LA market is different from the Inland Empire, which is different from San Diego or Orange County), what comparable houses are selling for in your area right now, the condition of the property and what it'd cost to bring it to market-ready, and what makes sense for both of us as a deal. When I give you a number, I'll walk you through how I got there. No black box, no take-it-or-leave-it. You see the math.
Selling with an agent vs. selling to me
Here's the side-by-side so you can see exactly what's different. No spin, just the math.
| Listing with an agent | Selling to Miles | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / fees | Up to 6%, paid by you | None |
| Closing costs | ~2%, paid by you | I cover all of them |
| Inspection & financing contingency | Yes, sales can fall through | None needed |
| Appraisal needed | Yes, sale often subject to it | No, I make cash offers |
| Average days until sold | +/- 91 days | Offer in 24 hours |
| Showings | It depends | One (just me) |
| Closing date | 30-60+ days after accepting offer | Date of your choice |
| Repairs | Negotiated during inspection | I pay for everything |
