Traditional home sales require the seller to clean out the home completely before closing. When you sell through our cash buyers, there’s no need to remove furniture or clutter—buyers in our network typically handle cleanup after the sale closes.
If you choose to sell through our network of cash buyers, the process is fast and efficient. Once you submit your property details, you may be contacted by a buyer within 24 hours to learn more and possibly schedule a visit to schedule a viewing. After the viewing, you may receive a cash offer within a day. If you accept, the sale may be finalized within a week or at a time that works best for you.
Yes, you can. HomeMatch regularly works with sellers who are navigating divorce, separation, or the division of marital assets. We know these situations are emotional and time-sensitive—that’s why we simplify the process. You’ll receive cash offers without having to market the property or wait for a traditional sale to close. As long as both parties agree to the sale and proper documentation is in place, it’s absolutely possible to sell smoothly and fairly.
Typically, yes—but it’s nothing like a full-blown home inspection for retail buyers. Many buyers may request a quick visit to confirm the home’s condition aligns with the information provided just to confirm the home’s condition matches the information provided. They’re already familiar with purchasing properties as-is, so inspections are simple and usually don’t derail the offer or delay the sale.
In many cases, yes. While the probate process can vary based on your specific legal situation, HomeMatch works with buyers who are experienced in purchasing inherited homes—whether probate is complete, in progress, or pending. As long as you're the rightful heir or representative and the legal framework is in motion, our team can help guide you through getting offers and preparing for a sale when the timing is right.
Yes. Homes with serious repair needs are often a perfect fit for cash buyers on the HomeMatch platform. Many buyers specialize in renovations and are actively looking for properties that need work. Major repairs don’t scare them off—in fact, they’re often part of their investment strategy. You don’t need to fix anything before requesting offers.
No, you don’t have to be physically in Oakland to complete the sale. Whether you’ve moved out of state, live overseas, or just want to handle everything remotely, the entire process can be managed digitally. Buyers, title companies, and closing attorneys in our network are familiar with remote closings and can coordinate everything online or through mobile notaries when needed.
Yes. One of the benefits of working with cash buyers through HomeMatch is that they offer flexible closing timelines. Whether you need to close in a week or a month, most buyers will work with your schedule. Most buyers are flexible with scheduling and allow sellers to choose a timeline that works for them based on what works for your move, your finances, or any logistical plans you have.
You’re completely free to walk away at any point before signing a final agreement. You’re under no obligation to accept any offer, and you can pause or stop the process at any point before agreeing to the terms. If your plans change or the timing no longer feels right, you can pause the process or revisit it later—no questions asked.
Yes, we do. HomeMatch works with sellers throughout the greater Oakland area, including nearby cities such as Berkeley, Alameda, San Leandro, Richmond, El Cerrito, and other parts of Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. If your home is located in or around Oakland, there’s a strong chance we can connect you with buyers actively looking in your neighborhood.
