California cash home buyers
HOA dues climbing, a special assessment landing, or a condo that will not sell the traditional way? We buy California condos for cash, as-is.
The process
Three simple steps. No pressure, ever.
Address and a few details about your situation. Takes 60 seconds.
A fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours.
Close in as little as 7 days — or on your timeline.
Your situation
Condo owners hit walls that house owners never see: buyer financing that depends on the whole complex qualifying, HOA rules about how many units can be rented or sold, monthly dues that keep rising, and special assessments for the roof or parking structure that land on every owner at once. Each one shrinks your buyer pool and stretches out a traditional sale.
Wise Revival, founded by Alberto Molina and Kyle Sowell, buys condos for cash across California. No lender means no complex-wide financing approval to wait on. We look at your unit as it is, make a fair cash offer within 24 hours, and close in as little as 7 days or on your timeline.
How we handle it
Tell us about the unit — the complex, the floor plan, the monthly dues, and anything coming up like a special assessment. Honesty helps: we factor the real carrying costs into a real offer instead of surprising you later. We buy units as-is, so there is no need to update the kitchen or repaint for photos.
Because we pay cash, the sale does not depend on a buyer's lender approving the building. We coordinate with the HOA's resale paperwork the way any buyer would, and we close on the date you pick. No commissions or fees from us, and no renegotiation at closing.
Situations we see every week
Dues eating the value of owning the unit? Sell before the next increase cycle.
A big assessment for shared repairs is a common reason condo owners choose a clean cash exit.
Rules that block investor buyers shrink the traditional pool — we are cash buyers, and we still buy.
Dated interiors sit longest in condo buildings. We buy as-is, no refresh needed.
A relative's condo with dues running every month is exactly the kind of property we buy quickly.
Sell the unit on your move date instead of carrying two housing payments.
California information
Condos and townhomes in California sit inside associations with lien power under the Davis-Stirling Act. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the unit (Civil Code §§ 5650–5675), and the association's collection and foreclosure powers are in §§ 5700–5740 — with one protection worth knowing: an association may not foreclose unless the delinquent assessments (not counting fees, costs, and interest) reach $1,800 or are more than 12 months delinquent (§ 5720), and a NONJUDICIAL association sale is followed by a 90-day redemption period (§ 5715(b)). Special assessments, rental restrictions, and pending litigation in the association all affect value — and one honest warning: selling your unit does not erase a recorded assessment lien; it is paid off from your proceeds at closing.
Selling to a direct buyer removes the two usual condo-sale delays: no lender demanding association questionnaires and litigation letters, and no retail buyer scared off by a special assessment. Unpaid HOA balances and fines are simply settled from your proceeds at closing through escrow. Disclose what you know — assessments, pending special assessments, and any association notices — and we will price the unit as it sits.

Good to know
Yes. Tell us what you know about upcoming assessments when you ask for an offer, and we will factor it in honestly. Plenty of owners sell for exactly this reason.
Condos involve HOA resale paperwork, and we handle our side of that process like any buyer. Lender approval of the complex — the hurdle that kills many traditional condo sales — is not part of a cash purchase.
Yes, we buy condos as-is. Skip the kitchen refresh and the new flooring; the offer reflects the unit as it sits today.
In as little as 7 days once the HOA paperwork lines up, or on a later date you choose. We will give you a straight timeline within 24 hours.
No agent commissions and no fees from us. The offer we make is the offer we honor at closing.
