You won't do this
You won't clean out the house.
Garages stacked floor to ceiling, decades of belongings, full storage units — leave it all. We handle every box and every bag after closing.
A short walkthrough from
Selling your house, demystified.
No middlemen, no showings, no repairs. Here's exactly how Astra Home Buyer works — from the first time we talk to the moment you walk out of the title company with cash in hand.

01
Step One
Takes 60 seconds
Tell us about your property.
You don't need photos. You don't need to clean anything up first. You don't even need to know what your house is worth. All we need to start is the address and a few basic details — bedrooms, condition, and the situation you're in.
Most sellers reach us one of three ways:
- Fill out our online form — about 60 seconds, four short fields. No photos required.
- Call us directly at (310) 999-3228 — talk to a real person on our team, not a call center.
- Text us at the same number — we respond within 30 minutes during business hours.
Every conversation starts confidentially. Nothing happens — no offer, no follow-up calls, no "drip" emails — unless you say go.
02
Step Two
Within 24 Hours
Get your transparent cash offer.
Within 24 hours of hearing from you, we send a written cash offer with the work behind it shown clearly. Not a verbal "ballpark." Not a vague range. A real number, in writing, with the reasoning laid out so you can see how we got there.
Every Astra offer includes:
- Comparable sales in your neighborhood that informed the after-repair value we used.
- Our repair estimate based on the property's condition — we'll tell you what we plan to fix and roughly what it costs.
- Your final number — what hits your bank account at closing. No fees deducted later, no surprises.
If the math doesn't make sense to you, call me. I'll walk through every line. If you can find a fair, written comparable that contradicts our numbers, we'll revise the offer.
03
Step Three
As Fast as 7 Days
Close on your date — cash in hand.
Once you accept the offer, you pick the closing date. As fast as 7 days if you need to move quickly, or a few months out if you need more time. Your timeline, your call.
From the day you say yes, here's what happens:
- We open escrow at a licensed California title company you can choose (or we'll suggest one we trust).
- The title company runs a clean title search. If there are liens, judgments, or paperwork issues, they handle the resolution — not you.
- You sign the closing documents in person or remotely (mobile notary, if you can't travel).
- Funds are wired the same day — or by cashier's check if you prefer. The full offer amount, no deductions.
- Leave anything you want. Furniture, paperwork, full garages — we handle every bit of cleanout after you hand us the keys.
That photo to the side? It's a real bedroom from a house we bought and restored. The seller left in 12 days. Within a few months, a new family was living in it.
What You Won't Have to Do
The work a traditional sale would put on you.
The clearest way to understand how Astra works is to look at everything you don't have to handle when you sell to us.
You won't do this
You won't make repairs.
Overgrown yards, broken irrigation, deferred maintenance, foundation issues — none of it is your problem. We buy in the exact condition the property is in today.
You won't do this
You won't stage or upgrade.
No staging consultants, no painter, no new countertops to attract buyers. The renovation happens after we own it — not on your time or your dime.
A Typical Astra Timeline
From first call to keys — day by day.
This is a realistic 10-day timeline for a straightforward sale. Faster is possible. Slower is fine too — you set the pace.
Day 0
You reach out
Form, call, or text. We confirm we serve your area and ask a few basic questions about the property and your situation. Takes 10 minutes max.
Day 1
We send your written offer
Within 24 hours. Email or text — your choice. Comparable sales, repair estimates, and your final cash number all laid out clearly.
Day 2–3
You review (no pressure)
Take your time. Compare to other buyers. Show family members. Call us with questions. Our offers are guaranteed for at least 7 days.
Day 4
You accept and we open escrow
One signed agreement. We open escrow at a licensed California title company that day. You give us a closing date that works for you.
Day 5–9
Title company does the heavy lifting
Title search, document prep, lien resolution if needed. You don't have to do anything during this window except let us know how you'd like to be paid.
Day 10
Closing day — funds in your account
You sign, you hand us the keys (or arrange remote signing), funds are wired the same day. The full offer amount, no deductions, no surprises.
Process Questions, Answered
The 5 questions every seller asks us.
Don't see your question? Call us directly at (310) 999-3228.
How long does the cash sale process take from start to finish?
From your first call to keys in our hand, the entire process typically takes 7 to 14 days. We can close in as little as 7 days if you need to move quickly — or extend the closing date to fit your timeline if you need more time. Some of our sellers take 60 days because of probate or family logistics, and that's fine too.
Do I need to do anything to prepare my house before selling to Astra?
No. You do not need to clean, repair, paint, stage, or remove anything. We buy the property exactly as it is, including any belongings you want to leave behind. We handle all cleanout and repairs after closing at no cost to you. If your "to-do list before selling" is intimidating you, that's exactly the problem we exist to solve.
What happens after I accept the cash offer?
Once you accept, we open escrow at a licensed California title company. They handle title search, paperwork, and the closing itself. You pick your closing date — anywhere from 7 days to a few months out. At closing, you sign documents (in person or via mobile notary if you can't travel) and receive your cash payment via wire transfer or cashier's check that same day.
Will there be any fees, commissions, or closing costs taken out of my offer?
No. Astra Home Buyer pays all standard closing costs. There are no real estate commissions, no agent fees, no inspection fees, and no hidden charges. The amount in our written offer is the amount you receive at closing. If you ever see a deduction on a closing statement that you didn't agree to in writing, we won't sign the deal.
Can I back out after accepting the offer?
Yes. Every Astra contract includes a built-in 5-day cancellation period — even when California law does not require one. You can change your mind during that window with no penalty, no questions asked. We want you to be fully comfortable with the decision, and pressure tactics work against everyone in the long run.
