Every situation welcome
Whatever brought you here, we have handled it before.
Tough timelines, tough properties, tough seasons of life. We specialize in the sales that traditional buyers walk away from.
Fire-damaged properties
Our founder lived through the Eaton fire herself. We buy fire-damaged homes as-is, so you can skip the rebuild and move forward with peace of mind.
Learn moreFacing foreclosure
If the auction clock is ticking, you still have options. We move fast enough to stop foreclosure sales and help you leave with equity instead of nothing.
Learn moreTenant-occupied homes
Done being a landlord? We buy rentals with tenants in place, even difficult ones, and take over the tenant relationship the day we close.
Learn moreOut-of-state owners
Sell a California property from anywhere. Remote signing, local boots on the ground, and a process built so you never have to fly in.
Learn moreMobile homes
As long as it is attached to a permanent foundation, we can make a cash offer on your mobile or manufactured home too.
Learn moreSquatters and unauthorized occupants
Someone living in your property without permission? We buy squatter-occupied homes as-is and take on the occupancy situation after closing, so you never deal with it yourself.
Learn moreVacant lots and unfinished projects
Raw land, RTI-ready projects with approved plans, and renovations that stalled halfway. We buy them all, and we understand the numbers behind them.
Learn moreAny condition means any condition
We buy houses like these. Then we do the work.
Boarded windows, rooms stripped to the studs, mold, water damage, decades of deferred maintenance. These are the properties we buy every week, and the kind of finished home we deliver on the other side.
You sell it exactly as it stands. The repairs, permits, and renovation are our job after closing.
How it works
Three steps between you and a done deal.
Our whole process is built for speed and simplicity, and you stay in control at every step.
Tell us about the property
Share the address and a few basics through the form or over the phone. Free virtual consultations, with local walkthroughs available anywhere in Southern California if needed.
Get a written cash offer
We review the property and present a fair, no-obligation cash offer, along with any other options that might serve you better. We show you exactly how we got to the number.
Pick your closing date
Accept when you are ready and choose the date that works for you. We handle the escrow, the paperwork, and the details so closing day is the easy part.
A smarter, simpler sale
Our cash offer vs. listing your property
A cash sale is not right for everyone, and we will be the first to say so. Here is the honest side-by-side.
| Category | Selling to Drive Thru Offers | Listing on the market |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions and fees | None. Zero commissions, zero service fees. | 5 to 6 percent in agent commissions on average. |
| Repairs and prep | We buy strictly as-is.Leave the repairs, the clutter, even the furniture. | Repairs, cleaning, and staging usually come first. |
| Showings | None. One visit from our team at most. | Weeks of open houses and strangers walking through. |
| Time to close | 7 to 30 days. You pick the date. | 60 to 90+ days on average, start to finish. |
| Certainty | Cash purchase with no financing contingencies. | Sales fall through when buyer loans are denied. |
| Closing costs | We cover standard closing costs. | Typically paid by the seller. |
Figures reflect typical Southern California listings. If listing is genuinely your better path, we will tell you so, and we can even help you get it listed.
Why homeowners trust us
A local team that has been on your side of the table.
Drive Thru Offers was founded by Jenni White, a California investor whose team has personally bought and renovated more than 120 homes. Jenni lives in Altadena and went through the Eaton fire alongside her neighbors, so when we say we understand what a hard season feels like, we mean it literally.
We are part of the communities we buy in, across California and beyond. That means straight answers, real numbers, and a process built around your situation instead of ours.

Seller stories
What it feels like on the other side.
“After the fire, I could not face a rebuild. They understood immediately because one of them had lived through it too. We closed in three weeks and I finally exhaled.”

Denise R.Altadena · Fire-damaged home
“I was days from the auction and out of ideas. They stopped the sale, walked me through every number, and I left with real money instead of a foreclosure on my record.”

Marcus T.Riverside · Pre-foreclosure
“We live out of state and inherited my father's house full of forty years of belongings. They told us to take what mattered and leave the rest. That one sentence lifted a mountain.”

Questions, answered honestly
Frequently asked questions
How fast can you actually close?
Once you accept our written offer, we can close in as little as 7 days because we buy with cash and there is no lender approval to wait on. If you need more time, we simply set the closing date around your schedule, whether that is three weeks or three months out.
Is the offer really free? What is the catch?
There is no catch and no cost. The consultation, the property review, and the written offer are all free, and you are never obligated to accept. If listing with an agent would genuinely net you more and fits your timeline, we will tell you that too.
How do you calculate your offer?
We start with what your home would be worth fully updated, then subtract realistic repair costs, holding costs, and our margin. Because our team has personally renovated more than 120 Southern California homes, our numbers come from real projects, not guesswork, and we walk you through the math line by line.
Do I need to clean or repair anything before selling?
No. We buy properties exactly as they stand, including homes with deferred maintenance, code issues, or rooms full of belongings. Take what you want and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout after closing.
What if I am behind on payments or already in foreclosure?
Reach out as soon as you can, because time matters most in foreclosure. We have stopped auctions just days before the sale date and helped owners walk away with equity instead of losing everything. The earlier we talk, the more options you have.
Do you buy houses with tenants still living in them?
Yes. We regularly purchase tenant-occupied properties, including situations with difficult tenants or expired leases. We take over the tenant relationship at closing so you do not have to manage notices, negotiations, or evictions.
Would I get more money by listing with an agent?
Sometimes, yes. A cash offer trades a portion of top-line price for speed, certainty, and zero costs. On a typical listing you pay commissions, closing costs, repairs, and months of mortgage payments while you wait. We show you both paths side by side so you can decide with real numbers, and if listing is the better fit, we can help you do that instead.
What if there are squatters in the property?
We buy squatter-occupied and unauthorized-occupant properties as-is. You do not need to remove anyone before closing. Once we own the property, we handle the occupancy through the proper legal channels, so the stress and the cost are ours, not yours.
Do you buy vacant lots, unfinished renovations, or RTI-ready projects?
Yes. We buy raw land and infill lots, projects with permits ready to issue, and renovations that stalled partway through, whether the money ran out, a contractor walked, or the numbers changed. Because we build and flip ourselves, we can price a half-finished project fairly and close fast.
Do you buy outside California?
California is our specialty and where most of our deals happen, but we buy out of state as well. Send us the address and a few details, and we will tell you quickly whether it fits.
