Bakersfield is one of California's more affordable big cities. Census estimates put the median home value around $347,000, far below the coast. Prices are lower, but repair costs aren't, so Bakersfield owners with a dated or damaged house often find the repairs eat most of their profit. We buy as-is, so you don't need to fix it first.
We buy houses in all 50 states. These are just some of the areas we serve. Don't see your city? We still want to hear from you.

We buy across the city, including East Bakersfield, Westchester, Oleander, La Cresta, Southwest Bakersfield, Rosedale, Riverlakes, Stockdale, Seven Oaks and Northeast Bakersfield. We also buy in Oildale, Lamont and elsewhere in Kern County.
