We Buy Houses in Alameda
Victorian and Edwardian homes, inherited island houses, and tenant-occupied rentals. I buy Alameda houses as-is for cash, with one visit and a closing in as few as 7 days.
Selling a Alameda House the Simple Way
Alameda is an island of historic housing: Victorians and Edwardians on the Gold Coast, older bungalows through the East End and West End, and newer homes out on Bay Farm Island. Beautiful architecture, and homes that carry a lot of upkeep.
A century-old Victorian is stunning until it needs foundation work, a new roof, updated wiring, or decades of deferred maintenance. Listing it means fronting that money. And with Alameda’s rent-control rules, selling a tenant-occupied home the traditional way gets complicated.
I have bought Alameda homes in every condition since 2003. I walk the property myself, hand you a written offer with the math explained, and close at WFG National Title on your schedule. You clean nothing and fix nothing.

Why Alameda Homeowners Call Me
Inherited Victorian or Family Home
A historic Alameda home passed down that needs everything. I buy inherited homes as-is and coordinate with your probate attorney.
Tenant-Occupied Rental
I buy occupied Alameda rentals and handle all tenant communication after closing, in compliance with Alameda’s rent and eviction rules.
Historic Home, Major Repairs
Foundation, roof, knob-and-tube wiring, dry rot. I price the work into the offer and buy the house exactly as it sits.
Behind on Payments
Facing foreclosure? A fast cash closing can stop the clock and protect your remaining equity.
Areas I Buy In Around Alameda
Every Alameda neighborhood, Gold Coast to Bay Farm, plus the rest of Alameda County.
My Offer Will Not Be the Highest Number You Hear
It will be a real number that does not drop later, with no fees and no repairs subtracted from it. Once you count commissions, prep costs, concessions, and months of holding costs on a traditional sale, the difference is often much smaller than you expect. Sometimes the cash offer nets more.
