Any condition. Any situation. Any neighborhood. From inherited properties to pre-foreclosure, tenants to code violations — we buy it all. And we show you exactly how we calculate your offer. No other Long Beach cash buyer does that.
No obligation · No pressure · We respond in 5 minutes
There is no situation too complicated. We've bought inherited properties with 5 heirs and 40 years of belongings, homes mid-foreclosure, rentals with non-paying tenants, and everything in between.
Also helping with: bankruptcy, job loss, relocation, military PCS, senior downsizing, reverse mortgage maturity, condemned property, failed listings, environmental contamination, and more.
Tell Us About Your Property →Three steps. Zero surprises. We've closed hundreds of Long Beach homes this way. Here's exactly what happens.
Fill out our short form above or call us directly at (562) 234-2832. Give us your property address and a little about your situation. This takes 2 minutes and creates zero obligation. We call you back within 5 minutes — a real person, not a robot.
We schedule a quick, convenient walkthrough — usually within 24 hours of your call. We sit down with you, walk through the comparable sales we used, our repair estimates, and our math. You'll understand exactly why the offer is what it is. You take as long as you need to decide.
You choose the date — as fast as 7 days, or up to 60 days if you need time to transition. We handle every piece of escrow and paperwork. You show up, sign, and receive your cash. Need to stay in the home for a bit after? Ask about our post-closing leaseback option.
Most cash home buyers in Long Beach operate like a black box. They hand you a number and hope you don't ask questions.
We do the opposite. We sit down with you, open our laptop, and walk through every number — the comparable sales we pulled, the repair costs we estimated, our holding and financing costs, and our profit margin. Nothing is hidden. You understand exactly why your offer is what it is.
This is the same formula professional real estate investors have always used — we just show it to you openly instead of hiding it. Premier Property Buyers does a version of this and holds a 5.0-star rating. We go further.
We'll always be honest about when an agent makes more sense. If your home is in perfect condition and you have 3 months, a traditional listing might net more. Here's the full picture.

We've helped hundreds of Long Beach families navigate some of the most stressful moments of their lives. Here are just a few of their stories.
My mother passed and left us her house in Bixby Knolls. Three kids, two out of state, a house that hadn't been updated since 1972, and a Prop 19 tax bill none of us could afford. Jay explained everything — the probate process at the Deukmejian Courthouse, the tax implications, all of it. We closed in 14 days. All three of us agreed it was exactly right.
I was 4 months behind on my mortgage. The bank sent me a Notice of Default and I panicked. Jay called me back within 5 minutes of filling out the form online, came over the next morning, and had a cash offer in my hand by noon. We closed 10 days later. He literally saved my credit score and put $62,000 in my pocket that I thought I'd already lost.
I owned a rental in West Long Beach for 22 years. My tenant stopped paying during COVID and Long Beach's eviction protections made it almost impossible to remove her. Getting her out would have cost me $10K and 6 months in court. Jay bought the house with her still living there. I didn't have to do a thing. Best real estate decision of my life.
We show you the exact math behind your offer — comparable sales, repair estimates, our margin. No other cash buyer in Long Beach does this. What you see is exactly what you receive at the closing table.
A real person — not an automated system — calls you within 5 minutes of your form submission during business hours. After hours, you get an immediate text confirmation and a scheduled callback at your convenience.
We know Bixby Knolls bungalows, the LB Code Enforcement Bureau, the Deukmejian Courthouse probate process, vitrified clay sewer lines, and the marine-layer termite risk. We're genuinely local — not a national company with a local page.
Many "cash buyers" are wholesalers who assign your contract to another investor and collect a fee — they never actually buy your home. Jay Buys Houses purchases directly with our own funds. We close what we promise, every time.
Long Beach is 43% Hispanic/Latino. We are one of very few cash buyers in the city with a fully bilingual operation — Spanish website, Spanish ads, and Spanish-speaking team. Tu casa, tu decisión, en tu idioma.
Close in 7 days or 60 — you decide. Need to stay after closing while you find your next place? Ask about our post-closing leaseback. We structure every deal around your life, not ours.
Every neighborhood. Every street. Every zip code.
