California cash home buyers
During a divorce, the house is often the biggest shared asset — and the biggest source of stress. A fast cash sale turns it into proceeds you can divide, without months of showings.
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
Listing a house during a divorce means agreeing on repairs, a list price, showing schedules, and every offer that comes in — with someone you are actively separating from. Months can pass while both of you keep paying a mortgage on a house neither of you wants to keep.
Wise Revival, founded by Alberto Molina and Kyle Sowell, offers a cleaner path: one fair cash offer within 24 hours, a closing in as little as 7 days or on the timeline your case needs, and proceeds that can be divided as you and your attorneys direct. No repairs, no showings, no strangers walking through.
How we handle it
Either spouse can reach out for an offer — getting a number costs nothing and commits neither of you. We keep everything in writing and can communicate with both parties (and their attorneys, if involved) so the offer, the contract, and the closing are transparent to everyone.
We buy the house as-is, so there is no debate about who pays for the roof, the flooring, or the cleanout. Take what is yours, leave the rest, and close on a date that fits the divorce timeline. The offer we make is the offer we honor — no renegotiation at closing to reopen old arguments.
Situations we see every week
In California, both spouses may need to agree and sign for a sale of the marital home. We work with that process, not around it.
If the house must be sold as part of the settlement, a fast cash closing keeps the case moving.
Turn the property into divisible proceeds instead of a shared obligation.
Pick a closing date that gives a fair move-out window. Your timeline, not ours.
No fights over repair budgets. We buy it exactly as it sits.
No sign in the yard, no listing photos, no parade of showings for the neighbors to watch.
California information
California is a community-property state: on dissolution, the court divides the community estate equally unless the parties agree otherwise in writing or in open court (Family Code § 2550). Dissolution may be sought on irreconcilable differences (Family Code § 2310(a)). Nothing in California law forces a home sale, but when neither spouse will keep and refinance the house, selling is usually the cleanest way to divide the equity — and until the judgment, both spouses generally must join in a sale of community real property.
Practically: if both names are on the title, both spouses sign the purchase contract and deed (or the judgment orders the sale and one signs under its authority). Agree on the split of proceeds in writing — the escrow holder can disburse exactly as the judgment or a signed agreement says. A direct as-is sale avoids the repairs, showings, and months of carrying costs that make a listed sale during divorce so miserable, and closing runs through escrow on a schedule set around the case.

Good to know
Generally, no — in California, selling the marital home typically requires both spouses to agree and sign, especially while a divorce is pending. Your attorney can confirm what applies in your case. We work with both parties transparently.
Yes. Many couples get a cash offer during the process so the house can be addressed in the settlement with a real number. Closing can be timed to the decree, if needed.
An offer is just information — there is no obligation and no pressure from us. Some couples use the written offer as a neutral starting point for their attorneys or mediator.
No. We buy as-is, and you can each take what is yours and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout after closing.
In as little as 7 days once both parties are ready to sign — or later, if the legal timeline calls for it. You choose the date.
