New GBH Home Buying Headquarters!

Green Button Homes has moved into a new headquarters last month! With the new location we’ve gone into full marketing and acquisition mode buying everything we can get where the numbers make sense. I’ve created several strategic partnerships with millions of dollars to invest in San Diego real estate so I’ve transitioned from managing the job sites to heading up the acquisition department where we are currently buying 2-3 properties per month. If you have a house to sell please consider us as a reliable cash buyer where we can do the transaction without real estate agents and you make no repairs to the property. Probate, Evictions, Divorces, Fire Damage, we have seen it all.

We Handle San Diego Evictions after we buy your house

Here’s a great little SFR  that we picked up last week in Oceanside near the back gate of Camp Pendleton. It is a rental house that turned into a problem for the elderly landlord. After every month having drama from the tenants, they decided to just relieve their headache. We closed on the house in 1 week with the tenant in place. Eventually we had to go through a lengthy eviction process but the seller avoided all that hassle. We have a great San Diego Eviction Attorney on staff so we handle these evictions and Unlawful Detainer cases with ease. Nothing scares us, we have seen it all. call us for a cash offer on your rental house in San Diego.

Homeowners sell to us and avoid the normal hassles of dealing with real estate agents

 We just put this Valencia Park 92114 property in escrow Monday and its closing tomorrow, the seller is retiring and this was an inherited property that has been a rental. They really didn’t want to work with a listing agent and go through all the showings, inspections, appraisals, requests for repairs and lengthy escrow so they called us for a no hassle 5-Day close. This seller is a San Diego Bail Bondsman in fact. If you have a San Diego house that you inherited or that you want to sell in less than 7 days, Contact the #1 local, family owned homebuyer!

2019 San Diego Real Estate Market

San Diego real estate inventory update 2019. I bought so many houses this summer I’m now losing track. 2019 has seen 25% more homes for sale while sales activity is 30% down! it is officially entering Buyers market territory. There’s a real shortage in San Diego of fixer uppers on the market though but since we’ve had our feelers out now for a few years and everybody knows we buy houses, we keep getting leads. This is the second off market property I picked up this year in my old stomping grounds Clairemont.

This property has a tenant who hasn’t been keeping up with the rent and the owner just decided to cash out.We structured a win-win for both parties. The seller is happy because he gets cash next week without paying any realtor fees or closing costs and can move on and not worry about the problem tenant anymore,  I’m happy because we’ll have enough room to renovate the house and sell it for a profit. It needs a complete kitchen, new bathrooms, flooring, windows, paint in and out, the whole 9 yards. Have a problem rental house in San Diego you need to sell fast? CLICK HERE!

We Buy Houses With Code Violations

We Buy Houses With Code Violations

We are Cash Home Buyers San Diego. The City Of San Diego has a department called Neighborhood Code Compliance that will respond to complaints from the community and will visit your property and look for health, safety and building code violations. Once you have been targeted there is no way to get them off your back without bringing your home into compliance. They commonly show up for what they call substandard buildings which include illegal room additions, abandoned vehicles, unkept lawns, high grass and un-permitted construction work. As defined by California Health and Safety Code (H&SC), Section 17920.3, a substandard building is any building or portion thereof in which certain conditions exist to the extent that it endangers the health and safety of its occupants or the public. Because we are cash home buyers and know San Diego Code Compliance we can fix the issues after we purchase the property. Being General Contractors we usually pay more than other real estate investors or home buying companies becasue we do the work with our own crew.

Once they determine the violations, you will receive a Civil Penalty Notice and Order from The City of San Diego. This notifies you that fines will be imposed if the violation is not corrected by a certain date. If these fines go unpaid they turn into Liens on the Property, which could eventually result in court order to pay from the San Diego City Attorney. If the fines plus admin fees are still not paid you will lose the property to foreclosure. You will not be able to refinance or sell without paying these liens. In addition, its hard to sell the property listing with Realtors if you have a Code Violation because buyers will typically try and get a loan for the house and the Code Violation shows up as a cloud on the Title Report and banks wont lend on it. Selling to a cash home buyer in San Diego will solve all these issues fast.

It’s a Family Tradition ~ Green Button Homes

The Tarrant boys like to build. 77 years later and Tom Tarrant in San Diego is and following in his grandfathers footsteps, developing real estate and building spec houses. Here’s a fun picture of Tom’s Grandfather R.W. “Poppy” Tarrant’s custom home that he built for his family in the late 1930’s.  The house was on Overbrook Lane in the upscale area of Houston, Texas known today as River Oaks. This house was torn down in the early 2000’s.

After selling the first house to a local attorney, he then drew up his own plans and specs and built this home in the 3600 block of Wickersham Lane in River Oaks. In 1943 this house only cost $15,000 to build. In today’s inflation adjusted dollars that equals $202, 460.00.

Here is Poppy, Tom’s dad Tom Tarrant Sr. and his uncle Bobby Tarrant in Houston outside the Wickersham house. Bobby Tarrant became a successful criminal attorney in Houston, Texas.
