Meet Max Cohen: Your Santa Barbara Real Estate Expert
I know the Santa Barbara market intimately. I see Ranch-style homes dealing with cast iron pipes issues, wildfire damage, and the complexities of local zoning.
My mission is to provide Santa Barbara homeowners with a straightforward, stress-free selling option. Unlike Compass, I buy your house directly, as-is. This means no commissions, no repairs, and a quick closing.
By selling to us, you save the typical agent fees, which could be up to $114,000 on an average Santa Barbara home. Let's find the best solution for your situation.
Don't Get Trapped by Santa Barbara's Unique Roadblocks.
Major Structural Repairs
Dealing with foundation issues, roof leaks, or hidden problems like failing cast iron pipes in your Santa Barbara home? We buy as-is, saving you the hassle and cost of renovations.
Facing Foreclosure
The California foreclosure timeline, which can be a minimum 111 days for non-judicial foreclosure, is stressful. We offer a fast cash sale to help you avoid public auction and protect your credit.
Zoning & Code Violations
Santa Barbara's hillside development restrictions or other local codes can be a headache. We handle properties with violations, saving you the fines and legal complexities.

Expanded FAQ for Santa Barbara Home Sellers
What makes My Fast Cash Offer different from local Santa Barbara real estate agents?

This means we buy your house as-is, pay all closing costs, and can close on a timeline you choose, often in a matter of days. You avoid showings, repairs, and the uncertainty of traditional market sales.
Do you buy houses in specific Santa Barbara zip codes or just the whole city?
We are actively buying homes across all Santa Barbara zip codes, including 93101, 93103, 93105, 93109, and 93111. Whether your property is in Downtown, The Mesa, San Roque, or any other Santa Barbara neighborhood, we're interested.

We specialize in buying homes in any condition, including those affected by Santa Barbara's common climate threat, wildfires, or other environmental damages. We understand the challenges these issues present and offer a solution without requiring you to complete costly repairs or navigate complex insurance claims.
How does the Santa Barbara County Assessor affect my cash offer?
While the Santa Barbara County Assessor's valuation helps us understand property taxes, our cash offer is based on a comprehensive assessment of your home's current condition, location, and market value. We factor in all aspects to provide a fair and competitive offer, regardless of your latest assessed value.
What is the #1 environmental risk in Santa Barbara and how do you handle properties affected by it?
The #1 environmental risk in Santa Barbara is wildfires. We understand the challenges of selling homes in high-risk areas or properties that have been impacted by fire.
