A Local Santa Monica Cash Home Buyer
Santa Monica is one of the most sought-after coastal submarkets in the Los Angeles area — and one of the most complex to sell in. Between rent control, deed restrictions on older buildings, the Coastal Commission, and price sensitivity on properties that need work, a traditional listing in Santa Monica can stretch to six months and three rounds of renegotiation. We offer an alternative. We are a Los Angeles-based direct cash buyer. We purchase Santa Monica homes in any condition — from renovated North-of-Montana houses to rent-controlled duplexes on 2nd and 3rd Streets, from Pico corridor fixers to hillside properties in Sunset Park.

Santa Monica FAQs
Do you buy Santa Monica properties under rent control?
Yes. Rent control is one of the most common reasons sellers reach out. We are familiar with the citys ordinances and purchase with tenants in place.
How is your Santa Monica offer calculated?
We look at recent Santa Monica comps (typically within a 0.5-mile radius for SFRs, or by building class for multi-family), estimate the renovation scope, factor in holding costs for 6-9 months of rehab + resale, and apply a margin. We walk you through the numbers.
Can I sell a property I inherited in Santa Monica?
Yes. We routinely purchase probate and inherited properties in Santa Monica and work with estate attorneys and multiple heirs.
Will you buy a Santa Monica condo?
Yes. We purchase condos as long as HOA financials are available and there are no pending litigation or major special assessments that would prevent a sale.
How fast can you close on a Santa Monica home?
As little as 7 days from acceptance. We can extend to match your timeline if you need more time.
