How It Works
From first call to cash in hand — here's exactly what to expect when you sell to Speed Offer.
Tell Us About Your Property
Fill out our simple form or give us a call. Just your address and a few details — takes about 60 seconds.
Get a Fair Cash Offer
Kevin visits your property in person — typically 20–30 minutes. He walks the home, takes notes and photos, and listens to your situation. Then we run the comps and present a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours.
Pick Your Close Date
Accept the offer and you choose the closing date — as fast as 7 days or up to 45 days. Whatever works for you.
Get Paid
Our dedicated transaction coordinator keeps everything on track — from paperwork to deadlines. We work with Placer Title Company to handle escrow and closing. Minimal paperwork on your end, no surprises, and cash in hand on your timeline.
What to Expect When Kevin Visits
By the time Kevin shows up, you've usually already had a call or text conversation. He has a basic understanding of your situation, but the in-person visit is where things get dialed in.
Kevin treats every visit like an interview — because it is. This is a big decision, and he wants you to feel comfortable, heard, and confident that you're working with someone who's being honest, whether the news is good or bad.
He'll start by asking a few key questions about your timeline and goals, then he listens. He's typically at the property for about 20–30 minutes, walking through the home, taking notes and photos, and following a checklist so nothing gets missed.
He's looking at the overall condition — layout, needed updates, repairs, the yard — but just as important, he's paying attention to your situation so he can match you with the best solution.
At the end of the visit, the goal is simple: make sure you feel informed, respected, and clear on your options.
We Know What You're Thinking
The #1 concern sellers have when they first talk to us? "Is this legit, or is this a scam?" We get it. If you haven't sold a property this way before, it's different — and different can feel uncertain.
The other big concern is price. Many sellers compare our offer to what they see on Zillow or what they've been told they could list for. That's where we take the time to clearly explain how our offers work — factoring in repairs, timelines, fees, and the convenience of a fast, as-is sale.
We've found that face-to-face meetings make the biggest difference. That's where we can sit down, walk the property together, answer questions, and understand each other's goals. No pressure — just a real conversation about your options.

Short answer: almost anything. Check our recent transactions for proof.

We'll Be Honest
If your property is in good shape and would do well on the open market, we'll tell you. We're not going to buy a property for less than it's worth when you'd be better off listing traditionally.
We focus on properties where a cash sale genuinely saves the seller time, money, or stress — not properties where a traditional sale would net them more.
We also look at mobile homes and land on a case-by-case basis. If you're not sure whether your property qualifies, send us your property details — there's no commitment.
Typical Timeline
You pick the speed. Here's what's realistic.
| Timeline | Best For | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| 7–10 Days | Foreclosure, urgent relocation | Fastest close — title must be clear, minimal paperwork |
| 14–21 Days | Most sellers | Standard closing window — enough time to handle everything without dragging it out |
| 30–45 Days | Planning a move, need time | Close on your schedule — no pressure, no rush |
Frequently Asked Questions
We pull comparable sold properties from the MLS, public records, and investor data platforms — focusing on sales within the last 3–4 months that match in size, layout, condition, and location. From there, we run a conservative "defense" analysis: worst-case ARV, repair costs, holding costs, closing costs, and current market trends. We run multiple scenarios so the deal still works even if things don't go perfectly. Kevin personally visits every property to verify condition before we finalize the number.
No. Zero fees, zero commissions, zero closing costs on your end. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with (minus any existing liens or mortgage balance). There are no hidden deductions.
Any condition. We buy houses with foundation problems, roof damage, mold, fire damage, hoarding situations, code violations — you name it. You don't need to clean, repair, or even empty the property. Kevin has walked properties in every condition imaginable — he even got bitten by a dog an owner insisted was friendly. (He now politely asks sellers to secure pets before the walkthrough.) Point is, nothing surprises us.
As fast as 7 days if you need to move quickly. Most transactions close within 14-21 days. But if you need more time — say 30 or 45 days — that works too. You pick the date.
Every offer we make is based on careful analysis, inspections, and contractor input. We don't revise offers downward after the fact — the number we give you is the number you get. Has this ever cost us money? Yes. But we believe trust and transparency are worth far more than squeezing a few extra dollars out of a deal. Unlike some buyers who try to get a contract signed and then reduce the price 10–14 days later, we focus on giving a fair number from the start.
Yes. We regularly buy properties with existing tenants, even difficult ones. You don't need to deal with the eviction process — we'll handle that after closing.
Yes. Kevin Burgoon holds California DRE License #01991566 with over 16 years of experience. You can verify this on the California DRE website. This means you're working with someone who is legally accountable and knows the process inside and out.
If your property is in good condition and would do well on the MLS, we'll tell you. We're not going to buy a house from you for less than it's worth when you'd be better off listing it traditionally. We focus on properties where a cash sale actually makes sense for the seller.
The Sacramento market is stabilizing — homes aren't flying off the shelves like before, inventory is up, and buyers are more selective. That means pricing and condition matter more than ever if you need a fast sale. A cash offer with a clear timeline removes the uncertainty of sitting on the traditional market waiting for the right buyer.
