SoCal Home Buyers

The short story is SoCal Home Buyers made a very fair offer, delivered on every promise, and exceeded all expectations with professionalism, friendliness, fairness and empathy.

This was not our first home sale experience, but the first time we used a service like SoCal Home Buyers. Based on Riverside County Court mandates for distributing assets of a probate settlement in a timely fashion (even though all beneficiaries were in agreement) we had to expedite the home sale process.

My wife, Lyn, researched “As Is” purchase companies, but I had trepidation and pursued a traditional real estate sale route with a realtor who reached out 2.5 years ago after noting a property title change following a trust creation.

Impressed with SoCal Home Buyers reviews, Lyn reached out and spoke to Angel, who scheduled an on-site meeting with a SoCal representative. Considering we live in Northern California, meetings required travel arrangements, a date was set, and we met with Gavino Galindo, remained transparent about our trepidations, and exploring traditional sales options. Gavino understood our concerns regarding our nephew, who lived on site and needed to move after the passing of his dad, did a site inspection, noted our parameters, expectations, and agreed to provide a proposal by the end of the week.

We did our comps, accessed property needs for sale, penciled out expected costs and determined a fair expectation. Two days later we received an offer meeting our expectation. Additionally, Gavino offered a 30-day close, but realizing our nephew might have challenges vacating quickly, suggested a 45-day close with an option to extend if situations dictated.

Prior to accepting SoCal Home Buyers offer, we met with a real estate agent who provided numerous options including full renovation, lipstick on a pig, and/or selling to an investor. None of the options came close to SoCal Home Buyers offer.

Upon accepting SoCal Home Buyers offer, communications with Transaction Coordinator & Office Manager, Cyndi Hewus, were seamless as she guided us through the process with EBS escrow and property questionnaire. Considering this was a probate sale facilitated by executor, Lyn, involving two deceased siblings with un-equal ownership shares, clear title was challenging to determine, but SoCal Home Buyers and EBS Escrow representatives remained positive, understanding, cooperative, and very helpful in verifying clear title and executing the sale process.

On a side note, the greatest challenge encountered had nothing to do with the home sale, but donating three vehicles (on the property) with no vehicle titles, but I digress. Yes, all was rectified, with Cyndi’s help, after the close of escrow. Another example of the personal touch demonstrated by SoCal Home Buyers team.

In summary, SoCal Home Buyers far exceeded all expectations and delivered on all aspects of their offer with no wrinkles. We met company owners Doug & Andrea Van Soest on a pre-close walk through, moved our nephew out the weekend before close of escrow, and made new friends with the SoCal Home Buyers & EBS Escrow teams. Realizing this may sound too good to be true, it was not drafted by AI, and we are available to speak to anyone considering a home sale with SoCal Home Buyers.

The sale of my rental went smooth, the people involved were prompt and courteous and kept me informed through the whole process. I would highly recommend them

Great experience from start to finish! Offer price was the highest amongst 5 companies. Highly recommend!

SoCal made the process as easy as possible which is great since so many obstacles occurred during the process. First found out the needed to go through probate, then covid interrupted the process. SoCal recommended serveral attorneys to handle the probate. After the 2+ year period, SoCal increased the offer since the value had increased.

SoCal were very organized and kept us informed step-by-step. They were available by phone to answer all our questions and concerns. And they completed the transaction on the day promised. Excellent service!

These people are scammers, they will offer you a higher amount, promise everything & a week later say they offered to much & back out. Stay away from these guys, Gavino Galindo will act like a christian , then back stab you. SELLERS BEWARE!!!

So Cal Home buyers is a great company to work with. They (Gavino, Cyndi and the staff) were very professional and helpful in our transition of selling our home and they made it a whole lot easier than we expected. My wife and I are very pleased ???? we will recommend them to any of our friends and family who are looking to sell their homes.

Made the real estate process efficient and hassle-free.

Trying to sell a house is a daunting task, ask anyone who's done it. The cleaning, the repairs, the showings, etc. It's especially difficult when the property you have doesn't reside in the same state you live in. After some extensive research I went with SoCal Home Byers. Not only did they provide a fair price but they made the process very easy. All I had to do was sign a few documents, get them notarized and send them back in. Closing was done before I knew it and funds were wired to my account. When you consider the money you'd have to spend to get your house sellable and factor in realtor fees and closing costs, you'd be surprised how close your net profit is when compared to a higher sale price through a realtor. This is the way to go!

Easily the best company to work with,so accommodating..As a Canadian was beside myself with their help.You will be so happy to deal with them.Forget anyone else.THE BEST.you will be thrilled with their actual caring..
