Most sellers think they're stuck choosing between a quick cash sale and a traditional listing. A "we buy houses" wholesaler can only make a cash offer — and profits by paying as little as possible. A traditional agent can only list your home, leaving you with the repairs, the showings, and the waiting. We offer both options. As a licensed Yuba-Sutter broker, direct cash buyer, and contractor under one roof, we guarantee two real offers — a fair as-is cash offer and a full-market listing offer — with honest numbers side by side, plus straight advice on which one truly comes out ahead for you and your family, even when that means listing instead of selling to us. That's our driving principle — your needs come before any single approach, and our testimonials prove it.
We buy it as-is for a fair cash price — no listing, no repairs, no hassle.

Most people think a house has to be cleaned out and fixed up before it can go on the market. It doesn't.
A local family came to us with a probate property they needed to sell for full market value — but it was packed, dated, and far from "show-ready." We put it on the open market in this exact condition — and it was in contract within 20 days.
Your house doesn't need to be perfect — or anywhere close. Whatever shape it's in, let's talk.

AFTERWe bought this Yuba City home exactly as it was — dated, overgrown, and packed inside — then put $100,000+ into a full renovation. The owner walked away with cash and zero hassle.
Got a house that needs work? You don't fix a thing — we do. That's the cash side of your two offers.

AFTERThe owners were relocating out of state. They took what they wanted and left the rest — furniture, a full freezer, a bathroom mid-repair. We bought it exactly as it sat, handled the cleanout, and rebuilt it ourselves. It's now a home we own and rent out — four hundred feet from our office.

Hi, I'm Dave Ott — a licensed real estate broker and licensed general contractor, with 20+ years in commercial banking behind me. I grew up in this business, working alongside my father at our family's construction company, so I read a property from the ground up — true condition, real repair costs, and the financial side of any situation. When you reach out, you talk to me directly. Not a hedge fund in another state, and not a national franchise routing your call to whoever paid a referral fee — just a local who's known this work his whole life.
A note on our logo: One evening, leaving my office on Gray Avenue and driving down Butte House Road, the setting sun lit up the Sutter Buttes just right — and it stopped me. If I could only capture that, I thought — the Buttes at dusk, with the sun still shining on them. So that's our logo. And whether you're staying in Yuba-Sutter or moving on, we hope you'll think of us as your neighbors — the ones you can call for a straight, no-pressure answer, whether you ever sell or not.
Dave didn't just enter real estate in 2008 — he grew up in it. He got his start as a kid in the family business, working alongside his father at Longview Builders, the company founded by the family patriarch.
That multi-generational background in construction and real estate development gave Dave a foundation most professionals simply don't have. He understands properties from the ground up — literally.

While pricing a home isn't an exact science, it should be rooted in objective data. Proper pricing relies on many of the same principles real estate appraisers use, including recent sales of comparable homes. Homes currently for sale can add context, but they reflect asking prices — not confirmed sales. Actual closed sales, combined with buyer demand and current market conditions, carry far more weight in setting a price that attracts serious buyers.

Get My Two Offers →On our cash offer, as little as 7 days — or any date you choose. You're in control of the timeline.
No. On our cash offer there are no fees, commissions, or closing costs. The offer is what you walk away with.
No — for either option. On our cash offer we buy completely as-is: no repairs, no cleaning, leave behind whatever you don't want. And despite the common myth, your home doesn't have to be spotless to list it on the market either. We've listed and sold everything from dated and cluttered to full-on hoarder homes. Whatever shape it's in, we have a path for it.
We base it on your home's condition, needed repairs, and recent local sales, and we'll walk you through the numbers — no lowballing.
Then we'll tell you. We show you both the cash offer and the listing numbers side by side so you can choose what's best.
Tell us about your home and we'll get back to you within 24 hours with both offers — or call and we'll talk it through for your Yuba-Sutter property.
