Most cash buyers hand you two pages. We hand you the same contract a Realtor would.

A lot of "we buy houses" companies use a short-form assignment contract built to be flipped, not to protect you. We use the standard California residential purchase agreement — the same one your neighbor's agent would put in front of them — because it's the version built with a seller's protections already in it.

WHY IT MATTERS

A short-form contract is fast to sign and light on protection. The standard agreement gives you disclosures, clear timelines, and a title company handling the money — not us.

Who You're Actually Dealing With

Sonomarin Home Buyers is run by two people, Evan Fowler and Alex Stagnaro, based in Sonoma and Marin County. We buy property directly, as principals, for cash. We're not a national franchise reading from a script, and we're not a lead-gen site forwarding your info to a stranger.

Evan holds an active California real estate license (DRE #02070571) and focuses on finding and buying property. Alex is a licensed agent (DRE #02038334) with Sonoma County Properties in Graton, and handles anything that requires a license, including listing your house on the open market if that turns out to be the better option for you.

What Happens When You Reach Out

  1. You tell us about the property

    A call or a form, whichever you'd rather do. No obligation, no pressure.

  2. We look at it, in person when we can

    We'd rather see the house than guess from photos. It leads to a more accurate number for you.

  3. You get a written cash offer

    On the standard California residential purchase agreement, with real terms you can show to anyone you trust, including your own attorney.

  4. You pick the closing date

    Two weeks or two months. We work around you, not the other way around.

The Honest Tradeoff

We're not going to tell you a cash offer beats a retail sale on price, because it usually doesn't. A retail buyer with financing, an agent, and months of patience will typically pay more. What we offer instead is certainty: no repairs, no showings, no financing falling through three weeks before closing, and a closing date you choose. If speed and certainty matter more to you right now than squeezing out the last dollar, that's who we're a good fit for. If they don't, we'll say so, and we can even help you think through listing it the traditional way instead.

No obligation. You'll know your options either way.
