Every “we buy houses San Bernardino” company below passed both gates and scored at least 87.5 of 100, the lowest score on our California list. Only four did, three of them exactly on the bar, and none is based in the city; JiT Home Buyers, which has a San Bernardino office, scored 86.7 and is listed below.

Eazy House Sale, a corporation with president Geremy Shigeo Yamamoto, is a cash buyer based in West Covina with a BBB start of January 2011. It has the highest score on this page and a San Bernardino page that names Crestline, Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs. It publishes a written formula that states its own selling-cost assumption, a 7-to-60-day closing window and a no-fee policy, and names five of six California property types. The trade-off: accreditation only since January 2026, exactly 30 reviews, a licensed principal, and an office about 40 miles west of San Bernardino. Ask them this before you sign: “Which entity signs as buyer, Eazy House Sale or Yamamoto Equity, and what minimum profit did you subtract in my offer?”

John Medina Buys Houses, listed by BBB as a limited liability company with alternate name MPC Inc and president John Medina, is a cash buyer based in San Pedro that says it buys directly. It has eleven years of accreditation, no BBB complaints in the last three years, 92 reviews, all six California property types and an offer formula built around legalizing unpermitted work. Its site says it buys in San Bernardino, about 60 miles from its San Pedro office, and a company case study describes buying an inherited San Bernardino house from an out-of-area heir. The records conflict on its age: 2013 on its site, 2014 and 2012 on BBB, and 2015 on Google. Ask them this before you sign: “What profit and safety margin did you subtract, and which entity, the LLC or MPC Inc, is the buyer on this contract?”

Casey Buys Houses, listed by BBB as a limited liability company with alternate name CJ Capital Group LLC and president Casey TeVault, is a cash buyer based in Diamond Bar with a BBB start of September 2013. It is the most open of the four about its model: it publishes a formula with a stated 10% selling-cost input, names all six California property types and says in writing that it sometimes assigns contracts to an investor partner. The trade-off: “over 18 years” on its site against a 2013 BBB start, accreditation only since July 2025, a licensed owner, and the chance that your buyer at closing is someone else. Ask them this before you sign: “Will CJ Capital Group LLC close this purchase itself, and if you assign it, will the contract name the assignee and keep my price and closing date?”

Selling a San Bernardino home for cash means the county’s transfer tax, a closing through escrow rather than a lawyer, and disclosures you cannot waive even in an as-is sale, including whether your parcel sits in a foothill fire hazard zone. None of the four ranked buyers is based in the city.
How much do cash buyers pay in San Bernardino?
All four ranked buyers publish how they price, and none publishes an offer percentage. Eazy House Sale and Casey Buys Houses publish the same formula and say their selling costs run about 10% of after-repair value; that is a cost they subtract, not an offer. John Medina Buys Houses’ homepage says cash buyers “typically offer between 70% and 85%” of after-repair value, a line about buyers in general, not its own offers. Many investors screen deals with the 70% rule, a formula, not a measured offer.
Compare net to net, never a cash price against a listing net. A cash sale saves the commission, but you still pay the county transfer tax and, by custom in San Bernardino County, half of escrow and all of the owner’s title policy.

How the San Bernardino market affects a cash sale
San Bernardino County prices are up from a year ago. Each figure below names its source and period, and we never combine two data series in one sentence.
The median price of an existing single-family home in San Bernardino County was $531,090 in September 2026, up 6.2% from $500,030 a year earlier, per the California Association of Realtors.
In the same report, San Bernardino County’s unsold inventory index was 5.3 months.
San Bernardino County listings spent a median 65 days on market in September 2026, against 71 a year earlier, per Realtor.com data.
All-cash purchases were 25.1% of Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario sales from January to April 2026, below the US share of 31.4%, per Realtor.com.
BatchData, a commercial data vendor, counted 1,729 San Bernardino County properties entering pre-foreclosure in the 12 months to July 2026, the third most of any California county.
About 37% of homes in the City of San Bernardino were built before 1960, and about 63% before 1980, per our calculation from 2024 Census survey data.
San Bernardino traps that change the deal
A few local rules and risks shape what a San Bernardino cash buyer will pay and how fast it can close.
Wildfire: the state fire marshal’s recommended hazard map puts 11,182 acres of the City of San Bernardino in the Very High zone. Large parts of the northern foothills are in a state-recommended Very High fire hazard zone; the Natural Hazard Disclosure report will say whether your parcel is.
Insurance: foothill and mountain buyers may only find FAIR Plan coverage, which raises their carrying cost and can lower cash offers.
Mobile homes: 6.1% of the city’s housing units are mobile homes, per 2024 Census survey data. The city code appears to include a mobile home rent chapter (we could not read its text), so a park space in the city may carry local rent rules; ask the park for its approval standards before accepting any cash offer.
Code liens: unpaid city abatement costs can be recorded as a lien and paid from your proceeds at closing; a title report will show them.
Tenants: 48.3% of occupied homes in the city are rented, per 2024 Census survey data. In San Bernardino the state’s AB 1482 rules (Civil Code 1946.2) apply to most rentals; a cash buyer inherits the lease.
Deed fraud: San Bernardino County already mails owners a letter when a deed is recorded against their property. Report suspected deed fraud to the District Attorney’s Real Estate Fraud unit at (909) 382-7700 or realestate@sbcda.org.

Does Opendoor buy houses in San Bernardino?
Yes, according to its own pages. Its help center says it operates in every postal code in the lower 48 states where single-family homes are available, and its Sacramento page lists San Bernardino, Ontario and Riverside among its California cities and says you can close in 21 to 60-plus days. It lists mobile and manufactured homes as not eligible and publishes no fee percentage.
Sundae lists the Inland Empire as a market and auctions homes to local investors, so it is a marketplace, not a single buyer. HomeGo has a San Bernardino page and says properties are generally resold simultaneously, as-is, to a non-affiliated entity. Offerpad lists no California market, Express Homebuyers lists no California location, and HomeVestors’ Riverside-San Bernardino page blocked our check.
Direct buyer or wholesaler in San Bernardino?
California has no law written for wholesaling, and a 2026 bill to license wholesalers, AB 1850, was held in committee. Marketing someone else’s home for a fee without a license can break the state’s broker law, though how that applies to a contract assignment is unsettled (Business & Professions Code 10131).
Casey Buys Houses says in its FAQ: “Most of the time we buy and close ourselves. On some deals we work with an investor partner and assign our purchase contract to them.” John Medina Buys Houses says “You work directly with us, not a middleman”. Eazy House Sale and Mrs. Property Solutions do not address assignment on their sites. Two of the four ranked buyers list a California real estate license on BBB; ask whether anyone is acting as your agent, and who will be on the deed.
What the seller owes before closing
A cash buyer can speed up the money, but California disclosure duties still apply in an as-is sale.
Transfer Disclosure Statement and Natural Hazard Disclosure; delivery “may not be waived in an ‘as is’ sale” (Civil Code 1102.1). If delivered late, the buyer may terminate within 3 days, or 5 by mail or email (1102.3). Sales by an executor, administrator or trustee administering an estate or trust are generally exempt (1102.2).
In a high or very high fire hazard severity zone: defensible-space documentation (Civil Code 1102.19) and, for homes built before 2010, a fire-hardening notice (1102.6f)
A written statement that the home has an operable smoke alarm (Health & Safety Code 13113.8) and that the water heater is braced (19211)
Federal lead paint disclosure for homes built before 1978, including as-is cash sales (EPA)
Do I need a lawyer to sell my house for cash in California?
No law requires one. California sales close through escrow, run by an escrow company licensed by the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation or by a title company (Financial Code 17200). It is worth hiring a lawyer for a probate sale, a home in foreclosure or a contract the buyer wrote.
Most sellers have no cooling-off right. The FTC Cooling-Off Rule excludes real estate. California’s exceptions are a home in foreclosure, covered in the next section, and, until January 1, 2027, a sale signed after an unsolicited offer in 15 fire-affected ZIP codes (Civil Code 2079.26); otherwise, once you sign, the contract is your protection.
Selling a California home in foreclosure
Most California mortgages foreclose without a court. A servicer must contact an owner-occupant, or try to, at least 30 days before recording a notice of default (Civil Code 2923.5), then wait at least three months (2924) and post a notice of sale at least 20 days ahead (2924f). In our reading that is about four months at the earliest. You can reinstate until five business days before the sale (2924c), and there is no right to buy the home back after a trustee sale.
Once a notice of default is recorded on your owner-occupied home, an investor buying it must use a written contract with a cancellation notice, and you can cancel until midnight of the fifth business day (Saturdays count) or 8 a.m. on the sale day, whichever comes first (Civil Code 1695.4). Until then the buyer cannot take a deed, record anything or pay you (1695.6).
Since 2025, a listing with a California broker or a signed purchase contract that pays off your loans can postpone the sale about 45 days, once for each, if the trustee receives it at least five business days before the sale (2924f(e)). Paid foreclosure consultants cannot charge before finishing the work, take a deed or power of attorney, or buy your home, and must register with the Attorney General (Civil Code 2945.4, 2945.45).
Property types that change the deal
Probate, tenants, unpermitted work, mobile homes and wildfire shape what a California cash buyer will pay and how fast it can close.
Inherited homes: a primary residence worth up to $750,000 may pass by court petition instead of full probate (Probate Code 13151), and real property worth up to $69,625 by affidavit (13200), for deaths since April 1, 2025 (Judicial Council). In a court-confirmed probate sale, your accepted offer can be topped in court by a bid at least 10% higher on the first $10,000 and 5% on the rest (Probate Code 10311).
Prop 19: an inherited home that does not become the child’s principal residence is usually reassessed, which is one reason many heirs sell (Board of Equalization)
Tenants: a sale does not end a lease; the seller must transfer the deposit to the buyer or refund it, and tell the tenant in writing (Civil Code 1950.5), and statewide just-cause rules can apply after 12 months (1946.2)
Unpermitted ADUs built before 2020: an owner can often ask to delay enforcement for five years if the fix is not needed for health and safety (Health & Safety Code 17980.12), so ask your city before accepting a steep discount
Mobile homes in a park: the park can screen the buyer but must give its standards within 15 days and decide within 15 business days of a complete application (Civil Code 798.74)
Fire-affected areas: until January 1, 2027, no one may make an unsolicited offer on a home in 15 listed Los Angeles and Ventura County ZIP codes, including parts of Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Altadena, and a seller who signs after one can cancel within four months (Civil Code 2079.26)
When a cash sale is the wrong call
A cash sale wins when time, condition or certainty matter more than price, and loses when you can wait. In our worked example, a City of San Bernardino home valued at the county median of $531,090 after repairs and needing $40,000 of work (our assumption) nets about $330,900 from a 70%-formula cash offer after about a month, $464,000 from listing as-is at $491,090 after about 3 months, and $460,900 from renovating and selling at $531,090 after about 5 months. Each column pays the county transfer tax and costs of $519 a month; the listing paths also pay a 5.08% commission (Clever survey, updated October 1, 2026, 50 California agents).
That gap of about $133,200 is the price of speed in this example, paid to save roughly two to two and a half months. It leaves out escrow, which San Bernardino County sellers customarily split, and the owner’s title policy, which they customarily pay. The median mixes homes in every condition, and the carrying cost uses long-held Prop 13 tax bills, so treat it as a simplification. The calculator above sets the as-is price at 90% of the median and the cash price at 90% of that, so only its repair-and-list figure matches this example.
Cash tends to win for a fire-damaged foothill house, an older house with code liens, a mobile home in a park, a tenant-occupied rental or a home in foreclosure. It tends to lose for an insurable, move-in-ready home whose owner can wait about three months.
Deed fraud in California and where to report it
Knowingly recording a forged or false document is a felony in California, and a court can void the forged instrument after a conviction (Penal Code 115). By January 1, 2027, every county must mail owners a notice within 30 days when a deed or deed of trust is recorded on their property (Government Code 27297.7). Some counties already offer alerts; the Department of Real Estate lists them. A notice is an alert, not a block.
If your home sold at a trustee sale for more than you owed, claim the surplus from the trustee yourself; only your own lawyer may charge to help (Civil Code 2945.1, 2945.4). After a tax sale you have one year from the tax deed’s recording to claim excess proceeds from the county at no cost (Revenue & Taxation Code 4675).
Report unlicensed brokerage or predatory offers to the Department of Real Estate at (877) 373-4542, equity-purchase and rescue scams to the Attorney General at (800) 952-5225, escrow problems to the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation at 1-866-275-2677, forged deeds to your county District Attorney, and fraud to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

Common questions
Our methodology
Every ranked company passed two pass/fail gates, then scored at least 87.5 of 100, the lowest score on our California list, across six checks. We rank by score, not size, and publish every company that did not make the list.
Gate 1 (pass/fail): a named legal entity on the company’s site or BBB file
Gate 2 (pass/fail): a physical address on at least two of site, BBB and Google, with no conflicting address
Founding date, 15 points: 15 for a third-party date with no conflicting claim, 7.5 when the company’s claim conflicts with the record, 0 with no third-party date
Reviews, 20 points: Google count of 100+ earns 20, 30 to 99 earns 15, 10 to 29 earns 10, under 10 earns 0
BBB file, 15 points: 15 for A+ and accredited, 10 for A+ not accredited, 5 for Not Rated or a lower letter grade, 0 for no BBB file, minus 2 per complaint in three years, never below 0
Closing timeline and fees in writing, 15 points: 15 for a day count plus a fee policy, 10 for a fee policy plus a timeline without a day count, 7.5 for only one of the two, 0 for neither
Offer method, 15 points: 15 for a formula or worked example, 8 for named inputs, 3 for “fair offer” only
California property types, 20 points: the share of six named on the company’s own pages (fire or wildfire damage, foundation or earthquake damage or unpermitted additions, tenant-occupied, probate or inherited, liens or back taxes, mobile or manufactured homes)
Ties: the company with fewer unresolved record conflicts ranks higher, then the one with more Google reviews
City bar: 87.5 of 100, the lowest score on our California list; we rank fewer rather than lower it
No company paid to be included or ranked. A company whose own site makes a trust or business-model claim contradicted by a third-party record or its own terms is held until resolved. Google ratings were pulled on October 29, 2026; three ranked buyers sit exactly on the bar, so one lost review, a new complaint or a removed page can change the list. Deal volumes are company-stated and were not matched to deed records. We did not search Secretary of State records, DRE licenses or court records for this update, so “no complaints” means none in the BBB file.
The buyers we checked and did not rank
38 companies and programs did not make the list, most for a reason you can check in two minutes. We state the record conflict, never a motive.
JiT Home BuyersPassed both gates and scored 86.7, just below our California bar of 87.5. Its main Oakland Google listing showed 4.8 from 29 reviews on October 29, 2026, one short of the 30 that earns the higher review score; its San Bernardino listing shows 5.0 from 13. It publishes its own selling-cost (about 8 to 10%) and profit (about 15%) assumptions, and mobile homes are not named.
Tarek Buys Houses (Anaheim), Diamond Home Buyers (Rancho Cucamonga)Passed both gates but scored 79.7 and 76.7. Tarek offers only a “fair cash offer” with no method. Diamond publishes a worked offer example but has 8 Google reviews, and its address is a private mailbox.
Seller’s Advantage (Irvine), SoCal Home Buyers (Murrieta), Superior Homebuyers (Irvine), SHH Buys Homes (Upland)Passed both gates but scored 38 to 76.2: three BBB complaints in three years (Seller’s Advantage), no BBB accreditation (SoCal), 21 BBB complaints in three years (Superior), or no BBB file and no third-party start date (SHH). None publishes a formula.
OC Home Buyers, Osborne HomesAddress conflict: their site, BBB and other listings do not agree on one suite or street address.
Miles Buys Homes, Tropical Homebuyers, Renew Home Buyers, 24/7 House Offers, FastSimpleSold.comA street address appears on fewer than two of the company’s site, BBB file and Google listing.
Riverside Home Buyers, Sell My House Fast San Bernardino, Sell My House Fast California, Pat Buys Houses Cash, Full Value House Buyers, Anya Buys HousesNo legal entity named on the company’s own site or BBB file. Sell My House Fast California also describes “a vast network of cash buyers”; Full Value also publishes no street address.
