"Stars and Stripes made a difficult process of selling my home of 23 years and negotiating everything with my new build home out of state like a breeze. I highly recommend Stars and Stripes to anyone needing a simplistic move.”

Lucy O Hemet, CA

"Stars and Stripes offered me about 5K more… I couldn’t say no."

Gail Hemet, CA

"I selected Stars & Stripes for the veteran owned company. The first thing I have to say that it was so easy, no pressure and a very good process. We felt we got a fair offer for our old house. I have already recommended them to a friend. Give them a call."

Sell Quick and Easy

Selling your home the traditional way through real estate agents is time-consuming and expensive. You must pay thousands of dollars to repair the property, renovate, stage, and host open houses. There are also agent fees and commissions. The best way to sell houses in Southern California is through cash home buyers.

The Seller Contacts the Buyer

Interested sellers can connect with cash home buyers and ask, “How do I sell my house in Southern California?” You can reach out by email, phone, or through their online form.

The Buyer Talks With the Seller

The buyer schedules a quick home inspection at the seller’s convenience. This visit is to evaluate the home’s current condition and offer a fair price.

The Buyer Makes a Cash Offer

If the property fits the buyer’s requirements, the buyer provides a guaranteed cash offer. This offer is free, and you don’t have to accept it unless you’re happy with the price.

The Seller Accepts the Offer

If you love the offer, you can accept the deal. The buyer handles all the rest, including the paperwork, closing fees, and other requirements. Cash sales are the best way to sell houses in Southern California.

What Does the Buyer Do With the Property?

Generally, cash buyers repair, renovate, and resell or rent the property for a profit. The best part is that your rundown home is no longer your worry! The buyer handles it all.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions.

Can I still sell my house even if it has fire damage?

Yes. We buy properties in any condition, including those with partial or severe fire damage. Whether the damage is isolated or extensive, we’ll assess it and make a cash offer—no repairs or cleanup needed.

The house smells like smoke and there’s soot everywhere—can I still sell it?

Absolutely. Smoke damage, soot, or even burned-out rooms are no problem. You don’t have to clean or restore anything. We make offers based on the current condition of the property—just the way it is.

Will insurance affect the sale or slow things down?

Not at all. Whether you’ve filed a claim or not, we can still move quickly. We’ll work around any insurance timelines and make sure the process is smooth, simple, and tailored to your situation.

Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?

When you work with Stars and Stripes Real Estate, there are NO closing costs, fees, or agent’s commission to sell your house to us. We provide you with an offer and, if it’s a fit, we’ll buy your house and pay for the closing costs, too.

How are you different from a traditional real estate agent?

Real estate agents list properties and try to entice the right buyer into making an offer. Once the sale is made, they charge you a percentage of the price (which can be as high as 3-6% of the sale price of your house). If you have the time, patience, and money to sell with a traditional agent and possibly make more money on the list price, this route is for you. But if you would prefer a no-hassle sales experience, we can help. We don’t list houses, we are the ones buying the house from you. And because we pay with our own money we can make a decision to buy your property within a couple of days, no matter what the condition.

Do you pay fair prices for properties?

When we purchase a house, we are looking to get a fair discount on the property. Many of the houses we purchase are below market value because they need expensive repairs or upgrades that the homeowners don’t have the time, energy, or money to make. Our clients come to us knowing they won’t get a large “windfall” for their house. Instead, they appreciate that we can offer cash, we close very quickly with no waiting for financing, and they won’t have to pay any commissions or closing costs. If this sounds like the right option for you, contact us today. Let’s see if we can come up with a fair price that’s a win-win for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you will never be hassled to move forward with the offer, but it’s good to know what we’re offering!

How do you determine your offer price?

We assess the location of the property, what repairs and upgrades are needed, the current condition of the property, and the price of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Using this information, we come up with a fair cash price that we hope is a win-win for both of us.

Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?

Great question! We’re not traditional real estate agents; we are professional home buyers. We buy houses in Southern California for cash that meet our buying criteria.
