About Sierra Property Buyers
Sierra Property Buyers is a direct cash property buying company based in Auburn, California, serving property owners across Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Nevada, Yuba, Sutter, and Santa Cruz counties. We purchase residential homes, office buildings, retail shops, and commercial properties directly — with our own capital, in as-is condition, on your timeline.
We are not real estate agents. We are not wholesalers who assign contracts. We are not a franchise operation running a national playbook. We are local investors who buy houses, renovate them when needed, and either sell them to families looking for updated homes or hold them as quality rental properties.
Our business exists because the traditional home selling process doesn't work for every homeowner in every situation. When you need to sell fast — we offer an alternative that is fast, fair, and simple.
What We Believe
Transparency
We show you exactly how we arrive at our offer. No black box pricing, no hidden formulas. You see the comparable sales, the condition assessment, and the math behind every number.
Fairness
We make offers based on real market data, not lowball tactics. Our business depends on treating people fairly — we couldn't operate in a small market like Northern California if we didn't.
Speed
When you need to sell fast, slow isn't an option. We're structured to close in as few as 7 days because we understand that time matters in real estate — and in life.
Simplicity
We've eliminated everything complicated about selling a home. No showings, no repairs, no negotiations, no uncertainty. One offer. One closing date. Done.
Local Knowledge
We don't buy houses by algorithm from a call center. We live here. We know the neighborhoods, the market dynamics, and the unique characteristics of every community we serve.
No Pressure
Our offers are no-obligation. If our number doesn't work for you, no hard feelings. We'd rather you make the right decision for your family than pressure you into a sale.
How We're Different from Other “We Buy Houses” Companies
The “we buy houses” industry has a reputation problem — and honestly, some of it is deserved. There are companies in this space that use aggressive lowball tactics, pressure sellers into quick decisions, and disappear after the contract is signed. We don't operate that way, and here's how you can tell:
- We show our math. When we make an offer, we include the comparable sales we used and the repair estimates that informed our number. You see exactly how we got there.
- We don't renegotiate at closing. Some buyers make a high initial offer to get you under contract, then lower it right before closing when you're committed. We don't do that. Our offer is our offer.
- We use real title companies. Every transaction goes through a licensed title company with title insurance. Your interests are protected by the same professionals who handle traditional real estate closings.
- We don't wholesale your contract. When we agree to buy your property, we buy it. We don't assign the contract to another investor at a markup. You deal with us from start to finish.
- We're local and accountable. We live and work in the communities where we buy. Our reputation matters to us because we encounter the people we've worked with at the grocery store, at community events, and through mutual connections.
Our Service Area
We buy homes throughout 24 Northern California counties, covering 260+ cities and communities.

We buy
- Single-family houses in any condition, including fire-damaged, long-vacant, and structurally compromised
- Inherited property, whether it is still in probate or already vested in the heirs
- Rental property with tenants in place, including tenancies in dispute
- Land, lots, acreage, and parcels that conventional financing will not touch
- Houses with title problems — unreleased liens, missing heirs, boundary questions
- Property in high fire hazard areas that the standard insurance market has declined
We do not
- Charge fees, commissions, or closing costs to the seller
- Require repairs, cleaning, staging, or showings
- List your property or act as your agent — we are the buyer, not a broker
- Offer sale-leaseback arrangements that let you stay on as a tenant
- Buy at a price that only works if we renegotiate later
How to judge us
What we will not claim
Every promise below can be checked by reading the rest of this site. That is the point of making them.
- Review counts and star ratings we cannot show you
- You will not find a star rating or a review total on this site that does not link to the platform it came from. If we have not earned it somewhere you can independently check, we do not print it.
- Transaction volumes and years in business
- “Hundreds of homes purchased” is the easiest sentence in this industry to write and the hardest to verify. We would rather say nothing than say a number you have no way to test.
- Named testimonials from people we cannot introduce you to
- Where this site shows a worked example, it says plainly that it is illustrative and that the figures are modeled rather than drawn from a specific past sale.
- That a cash sale is always the right answer
- It frequently is not. If your property is sound and you can wait for a conventional buyer, listing usually nets more, and we say so on the homepage, on every city page, and in person.
