SoldSee the math on every way out. Then pick one.
The house is costing you money every month you own it.
Repairs, taxes, insurance, utilities, and the mental tax of owning a place you don't want to own.
You wait because you're not sure who's honest or what your real options are. That's fair. Most sellers we meet started there.
Your Options Report shows you:
What you'd net if you listed with an agent, after repairs and commissions
What you'd net if you sold to us as-is, with no repairs and no fees
What you'd net if you rented it out for a year first
What each path looks like on a calendar, week by week
Which path we'd pick if the house were ours
You don't have to decide anything today.
Read the report. Ask us anything. If none of the paths fit, we'll say so and step aside.

Selling Your House Fast in San Jose
San Jose sits at the heart of Silicon Valley, home to some of the most expensive real estate in the nation. With median home prices well over $1 million, traditional selling costs can be staggering – agent commissions alone can exceed $60,000.
Many San Jose homeowners face situations where traditional listing doesn't work. Perhaps you're relocating for a tech job, dealing with an inherited property, or own an older home needing expensive updates to meet buyer expectations. Traditional agents often shy away from properties requiring significant work.
Tru Deal Homebuyers specializes in buying San Jose homes as-is. Our owner grew up in San Jose, and we buy properties here regularly — in Willow Glen, downtown, and East San Jose, and over into the Milpitas and Sunnyvale areas. The condition changes the number rather than whether we make an offer. No repairs, no staging, no months of uncertainty.
Whether you're in downtown San Jose, the Evergreen foothills, or anywhere in Santa Clara County, we provide a fast, simple alternative to traditional real estate sales. Get a fair cash offer and close on your timeline.

Sell My House Fast in San Jose
If you need to sell your house fast in San Jose, the timeline is short. You call or send the address, we ask a few questions and walk the house once, and you get a written Walk-Away Number within 24 hours. With clear title we can close in as little as 7 days through a Santa Clara County title company. Many San Jose sellers pick a date three or four weeks out so they can line up a move or a job start, and when probate or a relocation date sets the calendar, we close around it.
We're cash home buyers in San Jose, so there's no lender, no appraisal gap, and no buyer loan that can fall through late. The houses we see most here are 1950s and '60s homes in Willow Glen, Cambrian, and East San Jose with original wiring or plumbing, garage conversions that were never permitted, and family homes that heirs are handling from out of state. None of that needs fixing before you sell to us. One honest note: if your house is ready to show and you have time, a listing will often net more than any cash offer. That's why every offer comes with an Options Report comparing a listing and a repair-first sale. If listing nets you more, we'll tell you.
Selling Your House in San Jose
San Jose's tech-driven economy creates unique real estate challenges. Many homeowners here own properties from the 1960s-80s that need significant updates to compete with modern buyer expectations. Whether you're a long-time resident, a tech worker relocating, or handling an estate sale, we understand Silicon Valley's fast-paced market and can match your timeline.

A Common San Jose Situation
The Situation
A call we get often in San Jose: someone inherits a parent's 1950s ranch home in Willow Glen or Cambrian. It still has original wiring and plumbing, the garage was converted without permits, and agents have said it needs serious work before it can list.
Timeline
We walk the house once, put a written Walk-Away Number in your hands within 24 hours, and set closing for the date you choose, working with the probate attorney if the estate is still open.
Outcome
The repairs, the permit questions, and the cleanout become our job. You see the number, and the Options Report comparing a listing, before you agree to anything.
