“…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.”

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 buy houses, multifamily properties, and land as-is in any condition — repairs needed, tenants in place, liens, code violations, inherited, fire-damaged, or anything in between. There are no fees, no commissions, no repairs required.

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 purchased more than 300 properties 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.

Quick Home Offers® -  How We Buy Houses in CA Process
1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

We’ve bought and closed 75+ houses, condos, multifamily buildings, and vacant lots across Bakersfield, from the Southwest to Oildale, the Olive Drive area, the Bluffs, College Heights, the East Side, downtown, and beyond. Here are a few case studies that show the kinds of situations we solve.

Case Study: Bakersfield Home Sold With a Non-Paying Family Member in Place

Quick Home Offers bought this house with squatters. The home needed repairs and needed to be sold quickly. Quick Home Offers worked with both the occupants and the sellers and turned a complex situation into a manageable one.
We closed this Bakersfield home as-is and closed quickly.

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 she didn’t want to force him out onto the street to do it. 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. She was stuck between keeping a property she no longer wanted and doing something she couldn’t bring herself to do.

We closed it as-is and took the hard part off her plate. Instead of forcing the issue, we worked with her son directly to find him a place to go: we called property managers on his behalf, contacted the local housing authority, and provided the money for a security deposit so he had somewhere to land. It took patience, but he relocated without ending up on the street, the owner closed and walked away clean, and the family relationship stayed intact.

That’s what we do. Whether your Bakersfield property has tenants, a family member who won’t leave, code issues, or just needs more work than you want to put in, we buy it as-is and handle everything after closing — including the parts other buyers walk away from. No contractors to hire, no permits to pull, no situation to untangle on your own. If any of this sounds familiar, call Adam Justiniano directly at (805) 870-5749.

Situation
Bakersfield owner ready to sell, but a family member was living in the home without paying and she wouldn’t force him out
Challenge
No agent would list an occupied home in that situation, and no lender would finance it
What we did
Bought it as-is, then worked with the occupant directly, calling property managers, contacting the housing authority, and funding his security deposit so he had somewhere to land
Outcome
The occupant relocated without ending up on the street, the owner closed and walked away clean, and the family relationship stayed intact

Case Study: Clearing a 40-Year-Old Lien on a Downtown Bakersfield Home

A 1950s single-family home near downtown Bakersfield carried a lien that had sat on title for roughly 40 years, placed by a bond company that no longer existed. A lien like that stops a normal sale cold: title can’t transfer clean, and with the original company long gone, there was no obvious party to pay or to sign a release. We coordinated with the title company and skip-tracing services to trace what had happened to the bond company, and our title attorneys worked the issue through until the lien was released. The seller paid nothing to clear it, and the home closed with clean title.

Situation
1950s single-family home near downtown Bakersfield with a 40-year-old lien from a bond company that no longer existed
Challenge
The lien clouded title and the original company was long gone, so there was no clear party to pay off or release it
What we did
Coordinated with the title company and skip-tracing services to trace the bond company, and had our title attorneys work the lien through to a release
Outcome
The lien came off without the seller paying a cent, and the home closed with clean title

Case Study: Southwest Bakersfield 5-Unit With Mold and Major Repairs

A 5-unit building in southwest Bakersfield came to us with mold, major plumbing problems, and only three tenants left, all paying well below market. The building needed extensive work before it was habitable again. We bought it as-is and started by offering the tenants cash to relocate. Not everyone could move right away, so where units weren’t habitable we used a standard 60-day notice to vacate, and paid the tenants on their way out. We then took possession and rehabbed most of the building, including structural work on the upper-unit deck. The seller walked away without a tenant situation to manage and without pouring money into a building they were ready to leave.

This 5 unit apartment building in Bakersfield, CA was bought by Quick Home Offers®. The property underwent a rehab, and was stabilized over the course of 12 months.
5 unit SW building after rehab by Quick Home Offers®
Situation
5-unit building in southwest Bakersfield with mold, major plumbing problems, and three remaining tenants paying well below market
Challenge
The building needed extensive work to be habitable, and not every tenant could relocate right away
What we did
Bought it as-is, offered tenants cash to relocate, used a standard 60-day notice where units weren’t habitable, then took possession and rehabbed most of the building, including structural work on the upper-unit deck
Outcome
The seller walked away with no tenant situation to manage and no money sunk into repairs

Case Study: Tired Bakersfield Landlord Sells a Rental Left in Rough Shape

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.

Situation
Original single-family rental in Bakersfield owned by a worn-out landlord, left in rough shape after the tenants moved out
Challenge
The home needed significant work, and the owner was done managing the property
What we did
Bought it as-is for cash, with no cleanup or repairs required from the owner
Outcome
The owner offloaded a tiring rental without lifting a finger; we still own and rent the home today

Case Study: Bakersfield 6-Unit With an Unpermitted Unit and a Code Lien

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.

Situation
Six-unit Bakersfield apartment building with an unpermitted unit, unpermitted electrical, and an active city code-violation lien
Challenge
The seller couldn’t fund the fixes and wasn’t sure the building could be sold with violations unresolved
What we did
Researched the file, worked with the city to confirm exactly what was on the property, and gave the seller a clear read on their options
Outcome
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

A home we helped a seller with in Bakersfield, CA.

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.

Vacant homes are their own challenge here. Bakersfield has a persistent squatter problem, and an empty house is a target — boarding up the windows helps, but it also signals the home is unoccupied, so it really needs someone checking on it regularly. That’s especially true on the east side and around the Kern Medical Center area, where a vacant property can attract trouble quickly. We’ve seen the worst version of this more than once: squatters lighting fires to stay warm and damaging or destroying the house in the process. If you own a vacant Bakersfield property and can’t keep eyes on it, selling it sooner is often the safer move, and we buy occupied and vacant homes in any condition.

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

sell my house for cash

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

Benefits of selling your house to a cash home buyer

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

cash home buyers in california

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.

Q: How fast can you close escrow on a house or property in Bakersfield?

A: In most cases, we can close in 7 to 21 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.

Q: How fast can I get paid for my Bakersfield Property?

A: In most cases, you can have cash in hand within 7 to 21 days of accepting our offer. If you need funds sooner, we can advance up to $25,000 before escrow closes in qualifying situations. This is something most buyers cannot or will not do. Once we’re in agreement, closing happens through a neutral third-party escrow company and you choose the date.

Q: Do you buy houses and real estate in all Bakersfield neighborhoods?

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.

Q: Do I need to make repairs before selling?

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.

Q: Are there any fees or commissions when selling to Quick Home Offers®?

A: None. We are not real estate agents and do not charge commissions. We also pay all escrow fees. The offer we make is the amount you receive at closing with no deductions for fees or closing costs on your side.

Q: Can you buy my Bakersfield property if it has liens or back taxes?

A: Yes. Liens, including tax liens, judgment liens, and HOA liens, do not prevent a sale. In nearly all cases, existing liens are paid through escrow at closing from the sale proceeds. We deal with liens regularly and will walk you through exactly how it applies to your property.

Q: Can you buy my house if I’m in foreclosure in Bakersfield?

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.

Q: How do you determine your cash offer on a Bakersfield property?

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.

Q: Can you buy an inherited house in Bakersfield?

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 purchase once the court approves the sale. 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.

Q: Can you buy my house if it has tenants or squatters?

A: Yes. We purchase properties with tenants in place throughout Bakersfield — paying tenants, non-paying tenants, and squatters. You do not need to evict anyone before selling to us. We take on the property in its current occupancy situation and handle it after closing. This is one of the most common situations we deal with.

Q: Can you buy a house with fire or water damage in Bakersfield?

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 headquartered in Thousand Oaks 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 most “cash home buyers” running ads in Bakersfield are either national outfits running offers through software, or fly-by-night operations that just collect your information and sell it to other investors for $200 to $400 a lead. We’re 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. For sellers in a tight spot, we can also advance up to $25,000 before closing and help with the move itself. 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 24 hours 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.
