I'm Matt Welch. I buy houses across San Diego County, from Oceanside down to Chula Vista and out to Lakeside. I'm a local operator, not a national company or a hedge fund. When you call, you talk to me, and I'm the one who walks through your house and makes you an offer. If selling to me isn't the right move for you, I'll tell you that too.
How It Works: 3 Simple Steps
1. Tell me about the property. Fill out the short offer form or call 858-625-1873. Your address and a few details about the house and your timeline are all I need to get started.
2. Walk through it together and get a fair cash offer. I'll set up one visit that works for you. You don't need to clean or make repairs first. After that, you'll have a written cash offer within 24 hours, and I'll explain how I arrived at the number. There's no obligation and no pressure.
3. Close on your timeline. If you accept, we close through a local title/escrow company on the date you choose, whether that's as fast as your timeline allows or a few months out while you plan your move. Take what you want from the house and leave the rest.
Situations I Help With
Most people who call me need a simple, certain sale. Common situations include:
Inherited or probate property. You may live out of town, or the house is full of a lifetime of belongings. I can buy it as-is and work around the probate or trust process with your attorney or trustee.
Facing foreclosure. If you've fallen behind on payments, selling before the auction can protect your equity and your credit. Call early, because more time means more options.
Divorce. A quick, clean sale can make it easier to split the proceeds and let both people move on.
Tired landlord. Problem tenants, turnover, and repair bills add up. I buy rentals with tenants still in place, so you don't have to empty the property first.
Major repairs. A roof, foundation, plumbing, termite damage, or a house that's simply outdated. I buy houses in any condition, so you don't pay for repairs up front.
Relocation. Job transfer, military orders, or moving closer to family. I can work around your moving date so you aren't paying for two homes.
Cash Offer vs. Listing With an Agent
Listing with a good agent often gets the highest price, especially for a move-in-ready house. Selling for cash is about speed, certainty, and convenience. Here's an honest side-by-side:
Agent commissions: Selling to me: None. Listing with an agent: Typically paid by the seller, amount negotiated with your agent.
Repairs and cleaning: Selling to me: None, sold as-is. Listing with an agent: Often needed to attract buyers and pass the buyer's inspection.
Showings and open houses: Selling to me: One walkthrough. Listing with an agent: Multiple showings over weeks.
Financing risk: Selling to me: None, no buyer loan. Listing with an agent: A buyer's loan or appraisal can fall through.
Closing date: Selling to me: You choose. Listing with an agent: Depends on the buyer, lender, and time on market.
Closing costs: Selling to me: All closing costs covered. Listing with an agent: Seller usually pays closing costs.
Price: Selling to me: Fair cash price for the as-is condition. Listing with an agent: Often higher for updated, move-in-ready homes.
If listing is the better choice for your house, I'll tell you.

Why Sell to a Local Buyer
You work with me from start to finish. You won't be handed off to a call center or run through an algorithm. I have been buying, fixing up and selling properties in San Diego County for 17 years.
I know the local market. That includes septic systems and big lots in East County, older coastal bungalows in North County, and everything in between.
I'm straightforward. I'll walk you through how I came up with my offer, and there are no surprise fees at the closing table.
Real people, real reviews.

How fast can you close? As fast as your timeline allows. If you need more time, we can set a later closing date. You choose.
