“…your offer came in higher than competing offers…”
“It was simple and easy, and your offer came in higher than competing offers. We did not have the time, nor could we exert the effort to do the renovations to get the property up to speed to rent or sell. You gave us an offer that seemed fair. We knew you would make some money on it, but we did not have the hassle, and my time is valuable elsewhere.”

What’s on this page
Quick Home Offers® has been buying houses, multifamily, and land in Bakersfield and Kern County since 2013. We are not a national call center or an algorithm. When you contact us, you speak directly with Adam or Josh Justiniano, who will personally evaluate your property and give you a straight answer.
We regularly purchase properties in Bakersfield and Kern County involving inherited homes, probate, unpermitted work, code violations, condemned properties, tax liens, tenant or squatter issues, foreclosure, fire damage, and divorce. No situation is too complicated. If you’re unsure whether we can help, call (805) 870-5749 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Selling a house in Bakersfield to Quick Home Offers® takes four steps and no repairs. You reach out about the property, we review its condition against recent Kern County sales, and Adam Justiniano confirms the details and hands you a fair cash offer, often within one business day. You pick the closing date, we pay both sides of the escrow fees, and we can close in about a week or whenever fits your situation.
We buy Bakersfield homes in the condition they’re in, including the ones that have taken years of Central Valley heat, worn roofs, tired AC systems, and long-deferred maintenance. We’ve closed more than 300 transactions across California since 2013, from Kern County to the coast, and a founder evaluates every offer personally, never an algorithm.
If listing on the open market would put more in your pocket, we’ll tell you that up front. The short video below walks through how each step works.
Call or Text
Call or text Adam at (805) 870-5749, or send your address through the form on this page. A founder answers, not a call center.
Property Review
Tell us about the home, its condition, and where you stand. In Bakersfield we buy plenty of houses with deferred maintenance, worn roofs, or aging AC, so the condition won’t scare us off.
Cash Offer
We look at recent Kern County sales and put together a fair cash offer. If it helps pin down the number, Adam confirms the condition in person. No repairs, no obligation.
Close
You set the closing date and we cover both sides of escrow. We can close in about a week, or wait if you need more time. Take what you want and leave the rest.
Quick Home Offers® buys Bakersfield houses with tenants, squatters, or family members still living in them, and no one has to be removed before the sale closes. You do not need to file an eviction, serve a notice, or have an uncomfortable conversation first. We take the property in its current occupancy situation and handle it after closing.
California treats tenants, holdover occupants, and squatters as three different situations, and the process for removing each one is different. You do not need to sort that out before selling to us, but if you want to understand where you stand, our full guide walks through it: how to sell a house with squatters in California.
If the person living there is a paying tenant, our guide to selling a rental with tenants in California covers notices, relocation assistance, and cash for keys.
Every house in this video had something wrong with it that stopped a normal sale. One carried a lien recorded about forty years ago by a bond company that no longer exists, so title could not transfer and no lender would fund it. One had a family member living in it who was not paying rent, and an owner who would not put someone on the street to close.
One was a five-unit building with two units sitting empty from unrepaired leaks and structural damage to a balcony. In all three the seller fixed nothing, cleared nothing, and moved no one out before closing. Adam Justiniano walks through each one below, start to finish.
This Bakersfield home came to us with a problem most buyers won’t touch. The owner was ready to sell, but a family member was living in the property without paying, and forcing that person out onto the street was not something the owner was willing to do. A traditional listing was a non-starter: no agent wants to market an occupied home in that situation, and no financed buyer’s lender would fund it. The owner was stuck between keeping a property they no longer wanted and doing something they couldn’t bring themselves to do.
We closed it as-is and took the hard part off the owner’s plate. Instead of forcing the issue, we worked directly with the family member to find a place to go: we called property managers on their behalf, contacted the local housing authority, and provided the money for a security deposit so they had somewhere to land. It took patience, but the relocation happened without anyone ending up on the street, the owner closed and walked away clean, and the family relationship stayed intact.
If any of this sounds familiar, call Adam Justiniano directly at (805) 870-5749.
A vacant house in Bakersfield is a target, and the risk compounds the longer it sits. Quick Home Offers® buys vacant Bakersfield houses in any condition, including ones that have already been broken into, stripped, or damaged after someone moved in uninvited. Boarding the windows slows entry, but it also announces that nobody is inside, which is why a vacant property really needs someone physically checking on it.
In our experience buying across Kern County, the risk is not evenly spread. We see it most often on the East Side and in Oildale, and it shows up in parts of southwest Bakersfield and around downtown as well. Older housing stock, lower foot traffic, and a house that visibly nobody is watching are the conditions that attract it.
The damage is rarely limited to occupancy. People staying in a house with no utilities light fires to keep warm, and we have seen Bakersfield homes burn down because of it. What starts as a trespassing problem becomes a total loss, and by then the seller is dealing with an insurance claim and a fire-damaged structure instead of an empty house.
Most standard homeowners policies stop covering a house once it has been unoccupied beyond a set period, commonly around 30 to 60 days depending on the carrier and the policy language. Continuing to pay the premium does not keep the coverage intact. Owners in that position generally need a vacant home policy, which is a separate product written specifically for unoccupied property, and it costs materially more than the standard policy it replaces.
That combination is what makes a vacant Bakersfield house expensive to hold. Carrying costs go up, the property is more exposed to break-ins and fire, and a claim on a lapsed or inapplicable policy is exactly the wrong moment to discover the gap. Check your own policy’s vacancy language and talk to your carrier before assuming you are covered. If you own a vacant Bakersfield property and cannot keep eyes on it, selling sooner is usually the cheaper outcome.
If a vacant property has already been damaged by fire, the sale works differently. Our guide covers it: selling a fire-damaged house in California.
A lien is a recorded claim against your property, and most buyers and their lenders need it resolved before they will close. Quick Home Offers® buys Bakersfield and Kern County houses with liens already attached, including tax liens, judgment liens, HOA dues, and city code-violation liens. In most cases they are paid out of the sale proceeds at closing, so nothing comes out of your pocket first.
A 1950s single-family home near downtown Bakersfield carried a lien that had been sitting on title for roughly 40 years, recorded by a bond company that no longer existed. A lien like that stops a normal sale cold. Title cannot transfer clean while it is attached, and with the original company long gone there was no obvious party to pay off and nobody with authority to sign a release.
This is the version of a title problem that a retail sale cannot survive. A financed buyer’s lender will not fund against clouded title, and a buyer on a 30-day close will not wait while somebody traces a dissolved corporation. The seller had a marketable house and an unmarketable title.
After closing, we coordinated with the title company, skip-tracing services, and title attorneys until the lien was formally released. The process took approximately four weeks, and the seller paid nothing to clear it.
Most liens are simpler than this one. Tax liens, judgment liens, and HOA dues usually get paid out of escrow at closing and never delay anything. The ones that take real work are old recordings where the original party has dissolved, moved, or died, and those are the ones most buyers walk away from rather than untangle.
Which type you have determines whether your sale takes two weeks or two months, and our full guide breaks down each one: selling a house with liens in California.
Quick Home Offers® buys multifamily in Bakersfield and Kern County, from duplexes to buildings of 5 or more units. We purchase with tenants in place, with units offline, and with deferred maintenance or structural problems that would stop a financed buyer. Many cash buyers advertising in Bakersfield only handle single-family houses. We have extensive experience buying multifamily properties in Bakersfield that need work.
A 5-unit apartment building at 2711 Hollyhock Lane in southwest Bakersfield sold to Quick Home Offers® on June 30, 2023 for $562,000. The building was built in 1978, runs 4,163 square feet across five units on a corner parcel with two street frontages, and came to us in the condition most owners of small multifamily eventually face: rents well under market, units sitting offline from unrepaired leaks, and structural damage to an upper-unit balcony.
The corporate owner was not in a position to fix it. Bringing the offline units back meant paying for repairs before any rent came in, and the balcony was a structural item, not a cosmetic one. Selling on the open market meant disclosing all of it to buyers whose lenders would not fund a building with uninhabitable units.
We bought it as-is with the tenants and the damage in place. Over roughly a year we put about $120,000 into the property, including the structural work on the balcony, and brought the offline units back into service. Quick Home Offers® held and operated the building for just under three years before selling it in June 2026. Small multifamily in Kern County is a category some cash buyers don’t have the ability to close.
Here is how the three tenant households on this building moved out.
A six-unit Bakersfield apartment building on the east side came to us with an unpermitted unit, unpermitted electrical work, and an active code-violation lien from the city. The seller had been going back and forth with the city and wasn’t sure the property could even be sold with the violations unresolved, and didn’t have the funds to fix any of it. We did the research upfront, worked with the city to pin down exactly what was on the property, and gave the seller a clear picture to make the best decision. We closed in about 20 days with the lien still attached, so the seller didn’t have to fix anything, pull a permit, or clear the lien first.
This one was a tired landlord, plain and simple. The tenants had moved out and left the original home in rough shape, needing a lot of work. The owner was done, no interest in cleaning it up, fixing it, or finding the next tenant. We bought it as-is for cash, with nothing required from the owner, and we still own and rent the home today.
Selling small multifamily is not the same transaction as selling a house. Occupancy, relocation, and habitability all sit inside the deal rather than getting handled before it, and a building with unpermitted work or an active code lien can still close without the seller resolving either one first. Our guide covers how that works in California: selling a house with unpermitted work or code violations.
Quick Home Offers® buys older Bakersfield houses in the condition they are in, and no repairs are required before closing. Bakersfield’s housing stock is largely 1940s through 1980s, and age shows up here in predictable ways because of the climate. We factor the real condition into the offer rather than asking you to fix anything first, and you can leave behind whatever you do not want to move.
Bakersfield’s housing stock is largely from the 1940’s to 1980’s, and that age shows up in predictable ways. We regularly buy homes with older electrical systems that no longer meet code, roofs that have aged faster than they should under the Central Valley heat, and HVAC systems worn down from running hard through long, hot summers. In parts of the northwest and other pockets around town, properties run on septic systems, and when those fail the repair bills climb fast. None of it disqualifies a property — we factor the real condition into our offer and buy as-is, so you’re not paying to fix any of it before you sell.
If the repair list is the reason you have not sold, the numbers matter more than the list does. Our guide covers what selling as-is actually costs in California: selling a house as-is in California.
We’ve closed real transactions across the city and Kern County for over a decade, in just about every part of town. We’ve bought on the east side and around the Kern Medical Center area, in Oildale and the northwest, in the Oleander-Sunset neighborhood, Westchester, the Riviera, and College Heights, out toward Pumpkin Center, and throughout the southwest and the streets around Olive Drive. Older infill, newer subdivisions, unincorporated county pockets — we’ve closed in all of them.
That local footprint matters, because condition and situation vary block to block in Bakersfield. We’ve bought vacant and occupied homes on the east side, inherited and probate properties in established neighborhoods like College Heights, and dated 1950s-and-1960s houses with deferred maintenance across the older parts of town. Wherever your property sits and whatever shape it’s in, we can make you a fair cash offer. Call or text Adam or Josh directly at (805) 870-5749.
Option 1
List with an agent: An experienced Kern County agent will market your home, handle showings, and negotiate on your behalf. You’ll typically pay 5-6% in commissions and wait 45-90+ days to close. This is usually the best path if your home is in good condition and you can afford to wait for top dollar. The tradeoff is time, cost, and the uncertainty of buyer financing. If you’re taking this direction, we can help direct you to an agent we’ve worked with before.
Option 2
FSBO: You handle everything — pricing, marketing, showings, negotiations, and paperwork. You save the listing commission but invest significant time and take on the legal liability. This works well for experienced sellers with market-ready homes who want full control of the process. You may still need to offer a buyer’s agent commission to help move your property.
Option 3
Sell to Quick Home Offers®: A cash buyer purchases the property directly from you, as-is, with no repairs, no commissions, and no financing contingencies. Closings can happen in as few as 7 days. The tradeoff: you will get more on the market if you fix the property yourself. This is because the buyer is taking on the risk, repairs, and carrying costs. This path makes the most sense when speed, certainty, or the property’s condition makes a traditional sale impractical.

A: Most of our sales close in 7 to 30 days. Because we purchase with cash and do not rely on bank financing, there are no appraisal or lender delays. The primary variable is title — if there are liens or title complications, we work through those in escrow. If you need more time, we can also accommodate a later closing date. More complicated transactions, such as vacant land or multifamily, may require a slightly longer escrow period, but not always.
A: Most of our sales close in 7 to 30 days, and you are paid at closing. If you need funds sooner, qualified sellers can receive up to $25,000 before escrow closes, decided case by case. Ask us about it on the first call. Once we’re in agreement, closing happens through a neutral third-party escrow company and you choose the date.
A: Yes. We buy throughout Bakersfield — including East Bakersfield, Southwest Bakersfield, Oleander, Rosedale, Seven Oaks, Oildale, and surrounding unincorporated areas. Condition and location do not disqualify a property.
A: No. We buy houses and multifamily properties in “as-is” condition throughout Bakersfield. Fire damage, foundation issues, code violations, unpermitted work, mold, deferred maintenance — none of it needs to be addressed before we close. We factor the property’s condition into our offer. In addition, you can leave belongings behind if needed – we will take care of it for you.
A: None. We are not real estate agents and do not charge commissions or seller fees, and we pay all escrow fees. Your proceeds are still reduced by anything attached to the property, such as a mortgage payoff, liens, unpaid property taxes and prorations. Those come out of the sale at closing, the same as in any sale.
A: Yes. Liens do not stop a sale in California. In nearly all cases, existing liens are paid through escrow at closing out of the sale proceeds rather than out of your pocket. Quick Home Offers® has closed Bakersfield properties carrying tax liens, judgment liens, HOA liens, and city code-violation liens. On an east-side apartment building, we closed in about 20 days with an active city code lien still attached, so the seller never had to resolve it first. For a harder example, see how we cleared a 40-year-old lien on a downtown Bakersfield home.
A: Yes. We work with Bakersfield homeowners at every stage of the foreclosure process — from the first missed payment through active foreclosure. Time is critical in foreclosure situations. The sooner you contact us, the more options you have. Call (805) 870-5749 directly for a same-day conversation.
A: Every offer is personally evaluated by Adam or Josh Justiniano based on your specific property — location, condition, repair scope, and comparable sales in the area. We do not use automated valuation tools or algorithms. You get a direct conversation and a transparent explanation of how we arrived at our number.
A: Yes. We purchase inherited properties throughout Bakersfield and Kern County regularly. If the property is in probate, we can work with the estate attorney, and some sales need court confirmation before they close. If there are multiple heirs, we have experience navigating those situations — all parties need to agree, but we can work through the process with you. No repairs or cleanout required before closing.
A: Yes. You do not need to evict anyone before selling. Quick Home Offers® buys Bakersfield properties with paying tenants, non-paying tenants, squatters, and family members living in the home, and handles the occupancy after closing. On a southwest Bakersfield five-unit, we bought with three remaining tenants all paying well below market, offered cash for relocation, and paid tenants on their way out rather than leaving that to the seller. On a single-family home, the owner would not force out a family member living there rent-free — we closed as-is and worked with him directly to find housing before he moved.
A: Yes. We purchase fire-damaged, flood-damaged, and water-damaged properties throughout Bakersfield and Kern County as-is. You do not need to make any repairs or complete any insurance claims before selling. We assess the property in its current condition and make an offer based on what it would take to restore it.
Quick Home Offers® is owned and operated by two brothers, Adam and Josh Justiniano, who have closed more than 300 properties across California since 2013. We’re based in Ventura County and have been active in Bakersfield and Kern County for over a decade. We’re not a hedge fund, a national call center, or an algorithm — when you contact us, you speak directly with Adam or Josh, the people who actually make the offer and close the sale.
That matters because not every company advertising as a cash home buyer in Bakersfield is the one making the offer. Some run offers through software, and some collect your information and pass it on to other investors. We do neither. Adam meets sellers and looks at properties himself; Josh runs the analysis and underwriting behind every offer. Each offer is reviewed by both of us personally before it reaches you — never generated by a formula — and we’ll tell you honestly when listing with an agent would net you more.
We buy houses, condos, multifamily, and land throughout Bakersfield and Kern County in any condition, and we take on the situations other buyers won’t: unpermitted work, code violations, condemned properties, active tenants, a family member who won’t leave, title complications, fire damage, and more. If you are in a tight spot, qualified sellers can receive up to $25,000 before closing, decided case by case, and we can help with the move itself. Ask us about it on the first call. If you own a property here and want a straight answer from a real buyer — no obligation, no judgment — call or text Adam or Josh directly at (805) 870-5749.
Whether you’re dealing with a rental that’s become more trouble than it’s worth, an inherited home you never planned to keep, or a house you just need to walk away from, we can make you a fair cash offer within 1 business day and close in as few as 7 days — on the date you choose.
No repairs, no commissions, no obligation. Call or text Adam or Josh at (805) 870-5749, or fill out the form below.
When you contact us and submit the short property information form, we’ll give you a fair all-cash offer on your house within 1 business day… and the best part is: we can close whenever YOU choose to close – it’s entirely up to you.
It doesn’t matter what condition the house is in, or even if there are tenants in there that you can’t get rid of… don’t worry about it. We’ll take care of it for you. And if you need the cash quickly, we can close in as little as 7 days because we buy houses with cash and don’t have to rely on traditional bank financing.
