Three steps. A process we've refined over hundreds of Long Beach home purchases. Here's exactly what happens from your first contact to cash in hand.
Fill out our short form on any page or call us directly at (562) 234-2832. This takes about 2 minutes and creates absolutely zero obligation on your part.
All we need is your property address, your name, and phone number. Anything extra you can share about your situation — liens, tenants, condition, timeline — helps us prepare a more accurate offer, but it's entirely optional at this stage.
After our initial call, we schedule a property walkthrough at your convenience — almost always within 24 hours. The visit typically takes 20–40 minutes depending on property size and condition.
This is where Jay Buys Houses is different from every other cash buyer in Long Beach: we sit down with you and walk through every number that goes into your offer. We show you the comps we pulled, our repair cost estimates, our holding costs, and our profit margin. You can ask questions about any number.
If you accept our offer, we open escrow with a reputable Long Beach title company the same day. From there, the process is handled entirely by us and the escrow officer — you won't be managing a checklist.
You pick the closing date: as fast as 7 days, or as far out as 60 days if you need time to transition. We can also arrange a post-closing leaseback so you stay in the home for up to 60 days after you're paid.
From your first form submission to cash in hand — here's how the days unfold.
During business hours, a real person calls you within 5 minutes of your form submission. Not an automated text, not "we'll get back to you in 24–48 hours." A human, in 5 minutes.
A predatory tactic some buyers use: make a high offer, then drop the price at closing citing "inspection findings." We don't do this. Our written offer is our offer. The number doesn't change.
We show you every line in our offer calculation — comps, repairs, costs, margin. You understand why the offer is what it is. No black box, no mystery. You can verify every number yourself.
Unlike wholesalers who "buy" your home and then shop it to other investors (sometimes failing to close), Jay Buys Houses purchases with our own funds. We close every transaction we commit to.
7 days or 60 days — you pick. Need to stay in the home after closing? We offer post-closing leaseback arrangements so you're not rushed out of your home on closing day.
We pay escrow fees, title insurance, both transfer taxes, and all standard closing costs. The offer number is the check number. No deductions, no surprises, no credits requested for condition.
Fill out our quick form or call us. We respond within 5 minutes. You decide if our offer works — with zero pressure, ever.
