FAQ
Questions San Diego sellers ask us.
- How fast can homeinvestor.co close on a house in San Diego?
- Most cash closings in San Diego, California happen in 9–21 days from the day you accept the offer from your matched buyer. We can move faster on vacant or distressed homes, or slower if you need extra time to relocate.
- Do I have to fix anything before selling in San Diego?
- No. The cash buyers in our San Diego network purchase houses and land as-is — no repairs, no cleaning, no staging, no inspections you have to pass. Leave behind anything you don't want.
- What does it cost to sell to homeinvestor.co in San Diego?
- Zero. homeinvestor.co is free for sellers — no agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs charged to you. The number on the offer is the number that hits your bank account at closing.
- Will I get more by listing with a San Diego realtor?
- Sometimes — gross price is usually higher on the MLS. But after 5–6% commission, repairs, holding costs, and roughly 24 days on market, the net is often close. The owner-financing option from our buyer network can also net more than a discounted cash sale.
