Rapid Home Solutions buys homes throughout Contra Costa County for cash and exactly as-is, so you skip the repairs, the cleanouts, and the agent commissions, and we can close in 7 days or less.

We Want to Buy Your Contra Costa County Home

No Strings Attached

If your Contra Costa County home has been sitting on the market longer than you expected — or you’ve been weighing whether to list with an agent at all — you already know the traditional route asks a lot before it gives anything back. Prepping a house to show, scheduling open houses, fielding offers that hinge on financing, and waiting out an escrow that can stall or collapse all take time and money you may not want to spend. Selling directly to us for cash skips that entire gauntlet: we’re the actual buyer, so there’s no listing, no parade of strangers through your living room, and no months of uncertainty riding on someone else’s loan approval.

That means no repairs, no cleanouts, and no agent commissions or fees chipping away at your proceeds — we buy Contra Costa County homes exactly as they stand. Because we pay with cash, there’s no appraisal contingency and no financing that can fall through at the last minute. You get a fair, straightforward cash offer and a closing on the timeline that suits you, in 7 days, or a later date you choose if you’d rather not rush.

Selling a House in Contra Costa County: Regions, Local Rules & Situations We Handle

Contra Costa County is really three markets. West County (Richmond, San Pablo, Pinole, Hercules) has older, refinery-adjacent housing and rent control in Richmond. Central County (Walnut Creek, Concord, Martinez, Pleasant Hill, Lamorinda) mixes high-value homes with fire-zone hillsides. East County (Antioch, Pittsburg, Brentwood, Oakley, Bay Point) is the Bay Area’s foreclosure belt and Delta country. We buy directly, for cash, in every one of them — exactly as the home sits.

Contra Costa Regions We Buy In

West County — Richmond, San Pablo, El Cerrito, Pinole, Hercules, Rodeo, Crockett. Older stock, refinery-adjacent parcels, Richmond rent control, and high transfer taxes.
Central County: Walnut Creek, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Martinez and Clayton, plus Lamorinda (Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga). Higher values, estate sales and fire-zone hillsides. Each city page covers its local rules, such as Concord's rent registry, Pleasant Hill's flood maps and Lafayette's county-issued building permits.
San Ramon Valley: Danville and San Ramon, plus unincorporated Alamo, Diablo, Blackhawk and Camino Tassajara, where permits are with the county. Newer HOA neighborhoods, older custom homes and the 2025 fire hazard maps.
East County: Antioch, Pittsburg, Brentwood and Oakley, plus unincorporated Bay Point and Discovery Bay. 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, Delta flood-zone homes, and in Antioch a city rent stabilization ordinance for older rentals.
Unincorporated areas — North Richmond, Bay Point, El Sobrante, Pacheco, and others with unpermitted work and open county code cases.

The Contra Costa Rules That Slow Down a Traditional Sale

Requirements vary by city, and the open market makes you clear all of them. We buy as-is and handle them ourselves:

Transfer taxes. The Contra Costa County documentary transfer tax of $1.10 per $1,000 applies countywide; some charter cities (notably Richmond) add a much higher city transfer tax. We cover the typical closing costs on a cash sale.
Fire insurance in the hills. Lamorinda, Clayton, and the Diablo foothills sit in High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, where insurers are non-renewing and FAIR Plan policies are common. Cash purchase removes the insurance and lender contingency.
Refinery- and Delta-adjacent disclosure. West County (Chevron Richmond, Phillips 66 Rodeo) and East County Delta homes (levee, flood zone) face environmental and insurance questions that stall financed buyers.
EBMUD sewer lateral (West & Central). Much of West and Central County is in EBMUD's service area and needs a private sewer lateral certificate before transfer — we let the buyer post the deposit and finish later rather than delay your close.

Selling a Tenant-Occupied Contra Costa Home

Rules vary by city. Richmond has its own rent control and just-cause ordinance (Measure L); everywhere else in the county, California's statewide AB 1482 caps rent increases and requires just cause to end many tenancies. In every case, a sale is not by itself grounds to remove a tenant — which is why most retail buyers refuse tenant-occupied homes. We buy with the tenancy in place, honor the existing lease, handle the city-by-city analysis, and you owe no relocation.

Common Contra Costa Situations We Handle

Foreclosure. East County (Antioch, Pittsburg, Bay Point) has long had some of the Bay Area's highest foreclosure rates. California is a non-judicial foreclosure state — once a Notice of Sale records, the trustee's auction is 21 days out. With about 7 days we can close and stop the sale. Probate. Contra Costa probate runs through the Martinez Superior Court; once authority to sell is granted we can close in 7 days or less. Inherited property and Prop 19. Since 2021, most inherited county homes are reassessed to market value, often raising the tax bill sharply — selling is frequently the better math. Code violations and unpermitted units. Common in the unincorporated pockets; we buy with open permits, unpermitted additions, and county liens in place.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had major water and mold damage to our house. I was sick as this home was built by my Grandparents in 1910 and has been lived in by 4 generations of my family. I cried, I worried, I couldn’t sleep as I had no idea what to do as our home owners insurance would not cover the damage. Out of the blue, the answer to my prayers, Keegan G. He was so patient, knowledgeable, professional. He got our house sold quickly which eased my mind. I not only consider him a professional businessman, but a good friend.

My wife and I's overall experience with Rapid Home Solutions was fantastic! They were very courteous and understanding of our expectations. From our first contact with them through closing went exactly as promised.
We were able to close the sale of our property to them in under three weeks!
We worked primarily with Keegan who was professional and an absolute pleasure to do business with! His communication skills and level of customer service is a rare find!
We highly recommend them!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent!! That is the word I would use to describe Rapid Home Solutions and Keegan. Keegan is a great worker that gets the process of selling your house done very very quickly. In our case everything was done, sold, closed, & had the money in our account in 4 weeks. I highly recommend calling Keegan if you are selling a property no matter what condition it is in. He will make it work! I truly mean what i said, Keegan is a very professional, courtesy, hard working person and rapid home solutions is also the same!! I will always recommend this company and Keegan to anybody that is selling. Once again Keegan and Rapid Home Solutions, thank you so much for everything. It is a pleasure to have met you and glad we also became friends during the process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Your Contra Costa County House for Cash

The questions Contra Costa homeowners ask us most, answered with local specifics.

1. Do you buy houses everywhere in Contra Costa County?

Yes — West County (Richmond, San Pablo, Pinole, Hercules), Central County (Walnut Creek, Concord, Martinez, Pleasant Hill, Lamorinda), and East County (Antioch, Pittsburg, Brentwood, Oakley, Bay Point, Discovery Bay), plus the unincorporated areas. We make cash offers countywide, in any condition.

2. My Contra Costa hillside home lost its fire insurance — can I still sell it?

Yes. Lamorinda, Clayton, and the Diablo foothills sit in High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones where insurers are non-renewing and many owners are on the FAIR Plan. Because we buy for cash, insurability isn't a barrier — we purchase homes other buyers can't finance or insure.

3. Can you stop a foreclosure in Antioch, Pittsburg, or Bay Point?

Usually, yes. Once a Notice of Sale is recorded, the trustee's auction is 21 days out. As long as we have about 7 days, we can close with cash and stop the sale. East County foreclosures are something we handle often.

4. Can I sell a tenant-occupied home in Contra Costa County?

Yes. In Richmond, the local Measure L just-cause rules apply; everywhere else the statewide AB 1482 rules do. Either way, a sale isn't grounds to remove a tenant, so most retail buyers walk away. We buy with the tenancy in place and handle the city-by-city analysis.

5. How fast can you close on a Contra Costa County house?

In 7 days or less for a clean-title, vacant property. Tenant-occupied or probate sales can take a little longer, but you choose the closing date that works for you.

6. How long does probate take in Contra Costa County?

The Martinez Superior Court process to grant authority to sell can take weeks to a few months depending on the estate. Once that authority is in place, we can close in 7 days or less, far faster than relisting.

7. Will you buy a home near the Richmond or Rodeo refineries, or in the Delta?

Yes. Refinery-adjacent West County homes and East County Delta homes (levee and flood zones) face environmental and insurance hurdles that block financed buyers. Cash purchase removes the lender and insurance contingency, so we can close where others can't.
