How It Works

There’s no obligation on your part. After you provide some basic information about your property, we’ll review the details and may set up a call to learn more. Then, we’ll make you a fair, all-cash offer. We won’t hassle or pressure you; from there, the decision is completely up to you, and we’ll respect whatever you decide.

Real estate agents list properties and wait for potential buyers to show interest, a process that can take anywhere from 3 to 12 months. If a buyer is found, the agent takes a commission, typically 3-6% of the sale price. For example, on a $100,000 house, the commission would be $3,000 to $6,000. This can be a good option for those who are willing to wait several months to sell and don’t mind paying a portion of their sale price in commissions.

However, we’re different. We’re not agents—we’re direct home buyers. At Capitol Buys Houses, we buy houses outright with cash. This means we can decide to purchase your house within a few days, sometimes even the same day. We make our living by using our cash to buy homes, handle any repairs, and market the property ourselves. This approach eliminates the waiting and uncertainty, allowing you to sell your house quickly without the usual fees and commissions.

What sets us apart from the traditional home-selling process is that there are **no fees or commissions** when you sell to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it works for you, we’ll buy your house—often covering the closing costs. There’s no hassle and no extra costs for you. We handle any necessary repairs and take on the risk of reselling the house for a profit. Once we purchase your home, the responsibility is ours, and you can walk away without the burden of the property or its payments, often with cash in hand.

Capitol Buys Houses determines the price to offer on your home by evaluating several key factors, including the property’s location, condition, and the repairs or renovations needed. Additionally, we analyze recent sales of similar properties, or “comps,” in the area to understand current market trends and buyer expectations.

Market conditions and economic factors also influence our offer. We consider costs related to holding the property until resale, such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance, along with transaction fees.

Finally, we factor in a reasonable profit margin to ensure the investment is prudent. Capitol Buys Houses aims to arrive at a fair, competitive price that meets both your needs and our investment goals.

While we may not always offer full market value, we aim to provide a fair and competitive price for your home in as-is condition. The value we offer lies in the convenience and speed of our process: we buy homes in any condition, which means no repairs, cleaning, or showings are required. You won’t need to worry about agent fees, and because we buy with cash, there’s no waiting for financing approvals—this allows us to close quickly, often within days.

For many sellers, the benefits of a fast, cash sale outweigh the traditional process of listing a home, which can be time-consuming and costly. If you’re looking for a quick sale with minimal hassle, we’re here to work with you to find a fair price that works for both parties.

Remember, there’s no obligation to accept our offer—it’s simply an option that allows you to see what we can provide. Let’s explore whether we can create a win-win solution for your unique situation.

The only disadvantage to selling your house in its AS-IS condition is that you may not receive the full market value you might achieve if you were to list it on the MLS and handle all the necessary tasks, such as cleaning, repairs, and showings.

When people hear the word investor they often think of people working in high-rise buildings, wearing suits, and living the big city life. That is not who we are. Capitol Buys Houses is a small locally owned company with small-town roots in the Central Valley. As real estate investors, we often work with people just like you to purchase their homes for cash. Once we purchase a home, we make the necessary renovations and repairs, and either list the property for sale or keep it as a rental property.
