If you need to sell a Richmond house and the normal path (repairs, showings, waiting on a buyer's lender) feels out of reach right now, you have more room to move than you think.
We're Property Sales Group. We buy houses in Richmond for cash, as is, and we can close in as little as 7 days or on a later date you choose. A cash offer is one of three real options we put in front of you: list your Richmond home on the open market, take a fast cash offer, or let us fund the repairs first so you sell for more.
Richmond's median sale price was approximately $614,593 over the three months ending August 2026, with homes averaging 19 days on the market. That matters, because a cash offer usually trades some sale price for speed and certainty, and you deserve to see both numbers before you pick. Buying with cash is ordinary, not exotic: roughly 39.1% of U.S. home purchases in 2025 were cash transactions. Companies that buy houses for cash are a normal part of this market, not a last resort.
Our office is in Sacramento, and our team travels the I-80 corridor to meet Richmond homeowners at the property. We were founded in 2014, we're BBB Accredited with an A+ rating (listed under our legal entity, BKSP Property LLC, doing business as Property Sales Group), we've worked with over 1,200 Northern California homeowners, and every purchase carries our guaranteed close: if we fail to close, we pay you.
Get a Fast Cash Offer on your Richmond home. Send us the address or call or text to talk to an expert: 916-990-7376. No pressure, and it's a no obligation cash offer. Start here.
You have three paths, and we run all three in-house, which means nobody here is steering you toward the one that pays us best. Some Richmond sellers need to sell fast. Some need the highest sale price and can wait for it. Some are sitting on a good house that only looks bad, and a funded repair budget changes everything. We'll price out all three and hand you the comparison.
A cash offer fits when timing or your property's condition is the real problem. Job relocation, a divorce, probate, a foreclosure date on the calendar, or a house you simply can't or don't want to repair. As direct cash home buyers, we pay cash from our own funds, which is why a direct cash offer from us doesn't depend on anyone else's approval.
The cash offer is free and comes with no obligation. See how our cash offer process works.
An as is sale means exactly what it sounds like: you fix nothing, clean nothing, stage nothing, and you leave behind whatever you don't want to move. No repairs are required from you before closing, we buy as is, and we regularly take on houses that need substantial work.
One honest guardrail. Selling as is does not erase the disclosure duties that apply to California sellers. You still tell us what you know about the property, in writing, the way any seller would. The difference is what happens next: we take the condition from there instead of handing you a repair list and a deadline.
Our in-house construction team is why we can do this. Crews, project managers and supply relationships are ours, so the repair budget stays inside the company instead of becoming an outside contractor's bid with a margin stacked on top. That's the mechanism behind a fair cash offer on a house that needs work, and it's the reason an as is sale here doesn't have to feel like a penalty.
Sometimes listing is the better answer, and we'll tell you when we think it is. Richmond homes have been moving quickly, averaging about 19 days on the market against a median sale price near $614,593 over the three months ending August 2026. A well-presented house in a competitive market can bring a higher sale price than any cash offer, including ours.
We set the listing price with you, then handle marketing and negotiations, and we're not anti-agent. Plenty of Richmond homeowners are better served by a traditional sale with a real estate agent running the process. We'll also be straight about the tradeoff, because gross price is not what lands in your account:
Selling as is typically brings a lower sale price than a prepared listing. If the gap is large and you have time, we'd rather you take the gap.
This is the middle path, and it was built for housing stock like Richmond's. Approximately 69.6% of the housing units in Richmond's reported Housing Element inventory were built before 1980, and older homes commonly draw lower cash offers because any cash buyer prices in expected repairs.
If your property's condition is the only thing holding your number down, we fund the work upfront. No out-of-pocket expenses to you. Our crews do strategic upgrades, the house sells for what it's actually worth, and you capture the higher sale price afterward.
The items that usually move the number on a Richmond home are not exotic: roof and gutters, kitchen and bath updates, flooring, electrical panel and plumbing upgrades, exterior paint and dry rot repair, and drainage. Major repairs can change a cash offer amount quickly, which is exactly why funding them before the home sale sometimes pays better than discounting for them.
Inherited properties come with grief, paperwork and often a sibling three time zones away. We buy houses in exactly this condition all the time: multiple heirs, a home full of belongings nobody has had the heart to sort, years of deferred maintenance, and no one local to manage any of it.
To get started we need the property address, who is on title or authorized to sell, and whatever you know about the home's condition. You don't need to clear it out, you don't need an appraisal, and you don't need repairs. We coordinate directly with the title company and keep every heir copied so nobody feels managed around. A cash deal also tends to close faster than a traditional home sale, which matters when an empty house is costing money every month.
Confirm your probate status and authority to sell with your own attorney. We'll work around whatever the court requires.
We buy houses with the situation intact rather than asking you to fix it first. Tenants in place, a lease with time left, a tenant who won't allow showings: none of that disqualifies a property, and you don't need to hand us an empty house.
Condos get the same treatment. Marina Bay was developed beginning around 1980 on former World War II shipyard land and is primarily a condominium and townhome community, so those sales turn on HOA documents and who is responsible for shared infrastructure rather than on a traditional single-family repair list. Send us the HOA package and we'll read it.
Unpermitted or converted space is also workable. The Richmond Building Division notes a local code amendment concerning legalization of residential construction, so a garage conversion or an addition that never made the City file is something we research and account for rather than a reason to walk away. What we need to review: lease and rent roll if tenanted, HOA documents if applicable, and whatever permit paperwork you have.
Because we are direct buyers rather than a middleman, and because we show you the math instead of one take-it-or-leave-it number. If you're comparing companies that buy houses for cash right now, the four things below are what actually separate them. Price is one piece of it and service quality is the other, so ask every cash buyer on your list the same questions.
The biggest risk in this category is signing with someone who never intends to buy your house. Unlicensed wholesalers write custom contracts that favor the buyer, tie up your property, then shop that contract to local investors and collect the spread. You find out at the closing table that the person you shook hands with isn't the one paying.
Here's our counter, and it's all verifiable before you sign:
Ask any company you're comparing for those same three things. A reputable buyer answers all three without flinching, and the ones that hesitate have told you something.
Let's be honest about how cash offers are built. Cash buyers typically pay less than full market value because they absorb the repairs, the carrying costs and the risk of being wrong about the budget. Across the industry, offers commonly land somewhere in the range of 70% to 75% of a home's after-repair value, adjusted for your property's condition and location (metro-area properties generally support stronger offers than remote ones).
What varies between companies is how much of that budget is padding. Most cash buyers outsource renovation, so an outside contractor's margin gets priced into your offer before you ever see it. Our crews, project managers and supply relationships are in-house, so that margin stays available to put into the number.
Behind that: 45 employees, 37 combined years of experience across acquisitions, construction, project management and operations, with 25 of those years on the acquisition team specifically.
On a cash sale with us, there is no service fee, no seller fee and no real estate agent commission deducted from your sale proceeds, and we cover ordinary closing costs. A cash offer reduces out-of-pocket expenses specifically because those costs, escrow fees included, don't come back to you at the settlement table.
Compared with a traditional home sale, that's approximately $15,000 to $20,000 in fees avoided, before you count repairs and carrying time. Which is why we tell every seller to compare offers on net proceeds, not on the headline price.
Your actual figures depend on your property, your loan payoff and your situation, and nothing here is financial, legal or tax advice. Run the final numbers with your own professional.
Certainty is the whole point of selling for cash, so here's what ours looks like in practice:
Moving assistance and home-finding support come with it. Timing should never be the reason you feel stuck.
Talk to Serge today. Call or text 916-990-7376 and ask us anything, including the hard questions about how we built the cash offer. No pressure, just real options.
Four steps, no obligation at any point, and you can stop at any step without owing us a thing. Most Richmond sellers go from first call to written cash offer inside a few days.
Start with the address through the online form on our site, where the address-based estimate tool gives you an instant cash offer range, or call or text 916-990-7376. Then tell us the situation in your own words: the timeline you're working against, who else is involved, what you already know is wrong with the house.
What we don't ask for: repairs, cleaning, photos you have to stage, or an appointment before you know whether this is even worth your time. It's a free, no obligation offer. Send us the address.
Your number gets built from your block, not a citywide formula, because Richmond is not one market. Richmond Annex's median sale price was approximately $774,126 over the three months ending August 2026 with homes averaging 18 days on the market, while the citywide median over the same period was approximately $614,593 at 19 days. That's a wide spread inside one city.
Point Richmond, Richmond Annex, Marina Bay and central Richmond all price differently, and condo stock doesn't compare cleanly to detached homes anywhere. We share our repair assumptions with you in writing so you can see what we deducted and argue with it if you think we're wrong. If you're collecting multiple cash offers, ask each buyer which comps they used and whether they'll show you the deductions.
This is the step sellers fear, so we'll tell you in advance exactly what moves the number. Cash home buyers do deduct repair costs after a walk-through, and an initial offer that quietly shrinks at the last minute, with no explanation attached, is the reason this industry has a reputation.
On a Richmond property, the items most likely to change a cash offer are:
This is a walk-through, not an inspection and not an appraisal. Nobody is looking for reasons to retrade you. Final terms come after we've seen the house, so the number you sign is a real number rather than a vague preliminary figure.
You sign a California Purchase Agreement. We open escrow within 24 hours and deposit earnest money within 24 to 48 hours. There's no traditional buyer waiting on a lender and no underwriting in the way, so you pick your own closing date: as little as 7 days, or further out if you need the time.
Sewer-lateral responsibility gets written into the agreement rather than left ambiguous. For a Richmond Municipal Sewer District property closing escrow, the buyer and seller may agree in writing who will take responsibility, with compliance required within 60 days after closing under the City's published instructions. We put that in writing before you sign. Where available on your transaction, a cash advance of up to $100,000 can be released before you move out.
Two things decide most Richmond sales: which sewer district your address sits in, and how old the house is. Everything else is negotiable. These two are the items that quietly delay closings, blow up budgets and surprise sellers who did nothing wrong except assume Richmond works like everywhere else.
Richmond Municipal Sewer District properties are subject to the City's private sewer-lateral compliance process when the property is sold or title is transferred. The lateral is the pipe running from your house to the City main, and on homes this old it's frequently cracked, root-intruded or separated at the joints. Many sellers don't hear about any of it until they're already in escrow.
Published City agency fees include:
Those are agency fees only. They don't include the plumber, the camera work, excavation or the repair itself, which is where the real money lives and where it varies most by property.
The mechanism that keeps deals moving: the buyer and seller may agree in writing who will take responsibility, with compliance required within 60 days after closing. We handle this as part of a cash purchase and name the responsible party in the agreement. We won't promise a City review turnaround, because the City doesn't publish one and we're not going to invent a date to make a sale feel easier. Before you sell, confirm the specifics for your address with the City.
If your house is in Richmond Annex, the City process above may not be the one that applies to you. Richmond Annex is served by Stege Sanitary District and is included in the East Bay Regional Private Sewer Lateral Program, a separate system with separate certificates and separate fees.
An affected Richmond Annex property generally needs either a Compliance Certificate or a Time Extension Certificate when it's sold. Effective July 1, 2026, the regional Compliance Certificate fee is $407 and the Time Extension Certificate fee is $142. The Time Extension Certificate allows 180 days and requires a $4,500 refundable deposit, returned when compliance is completed inside the window.
That $4,500 is the number that catches people, because it has to be sitting somewhere at closing. We check your address against the correct district before we quote anything, so the certificate path and whether the buyer pays or you do are settled in the agreement instead of discovered in week three of escrow.
Richmond's age profile explains why condition-based offers vary so widely here. The City's Housing Element reports 13,661 housing units built from 1940 through 1959, the largest age group in the reported inventory, and approximately 69.6% of the reported inventory was built before 1980. Older homes draw lower cash offers across the board because buyers price in expected repairs, and the honest version of that is that nobody can tell you what a 1948 Richmond house is worth without seeing the systems.
Before we quote a fix-and-sell path, we pull the permit file. The City of Richmond Building Division accepts permit applications through its iMS permit portal, and the Division notes a local code amendment concerning legalization of residential construction. That amendment matters if your home has a converted garage, a finished basement or an addition that never got recorded, because it shapes whether legalizing the space is a smart line item or a budget sink.
If your property is in Point Richmond, add one more check. Point Richmond is listed as a historic district in the Richmond Historic Register, so we verify whether a specific property and a specific scope of work trigger historic review before we plan exterior changes. That's a check, not a blanket rule, and it rarely affects a straight cash purchase.
Richmond has approximately 32 miles of shoreline and elevations ranging from sea level to more than 1,000 feet along San Pablo Ridge. A waterfront condo and a house on the ridge are different properties with different risks, and pretending otherwise is how sellers get offers that don't survive the walk-through.
On fill-area and waterfront parcels, foundation and soil questions deserve an address-specific look. USGS documented liquefaction in artificial fill around the Richmond Inner Harbor during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. That is not a statement that your house is damaged. It's the reason a careful cash buyer looks harder at soil, foundation and insurance on certain addresses, and insurance cost on a property can significantly influence what any cash offer can support.
Weather shapes the exterior and the schedule. Southern Richmond and the ridges receive more fog, and the city's strongest winds generally occur from March through August, which is hard on paint, flashing, windows and exposed metal. Richmond's rainy season generally runs from late October through April, with stronger storm rainfall from November through March, so roofing, exterior paint and drainage work get planned around that window on fix-and-sell projects. A cash purchase isn't weather-dependent. The renovation calendar is.
We work across the city, not just the easy parts of it:
Richmond's major orientation corridors include I-80, I-580, Richmond Parkway, San Pablo Avenue, 23rd Street, Carlson Boulevard, Central Avenue, Cutting Boulevard and Macdonald Avenue, and we'll meet you at the property off any of them.
Straight answer on where we're based: our office is in Sacramento, and our team travels the I-80 corridor to meet Richmond homeowners at the property. We don't have a Richmond storefront and we won't pretend otherwise, and we won't promise an arrival time on a freeway we don't control. What we will do is schedule a real appointment and show up for it.
Renovation materials are easy to source locally, which keeps fix-and-sell timelines tight. Channel Lumber operates at 100 West Cutting Boulevard, Golden State Lumber has a Richmond location at 3655 Collins Avenue, The Lumber Baron operates at 1140 Harbour Way South, and Turquoise Home Design has a Richmond showroom at 4610 Barrett Avenue. Those are local resources we can point you to, not partners of ours. Location does affect what cash home buyers can offer, and a well-supplied metro market like this one supports stronger numbers than a remote one.
You've been handling a hard situation. The next step is small: send us the address or pick up the phone.
We'll check which sewer district your Richmond address falls under, pull your neighborhood's comps, and come back with a written cash offer plus a side-by-side comparison showing what listing and fix-and-sell would likely net you instead. A cash sale closes faster than a traditional listing, but faster isn't automatically better, and you should see both before you commit to either. Then you decide. No pressure, no obligation, and no hard feelings if the answer is a listing.
