A city shaped by the fault line.

The Hayward Fault runs straight through the city, putting the Hills and parts of downtown into Alquist-Priolo earthquake fault zones. That comes with disclosure requirements and real seismic retrofit costs. The flatlands — Mt. Eden, Tennyson, Jackson Triangle, Cherryland — sit on expansive soils that produce foundation cracks and slab issues on a lot of the older housing. None of that stops the offer; we just budget for it.

Active across the Hills, Mt. Eden, Cherryland, Fairview, Glen Eden, Tennyson, Highland, Jackson Triangle. RRSO-covered multifamily, foundation-flagged SFRs, fault-zone hillside properties — same straight process across all of it.

Form to wire — three steps.

Same path for a hillside view home or a flatland fixer with foundation cracks.

Hayward — FAQ

Something we didn't cover? Pick up the phone, we'll answer it straight.

Do you cover all of Hayward? +
All four ZIPs — 94541, 94542, 94544, 94545. Active in downtown Hayward, the Hills, Mt. Eden, Cherryland, Fairview, Tennyson, Highland, Jackson Triangle, and the rest of the flatlands.
Does Hayward's rent stabilization ordinance apply? +
Hayward's Residential Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RRSO) covers some pre-1995 multifamily. If we're buying a covered building, we work under the existing leases — tenant stays at the current rent, we step in as landlord at close.
My Hayward flatland house has foundation cracks — will you still buy? +
Yes. The flatland soils around Mt. Eden, Tennyson, and the Jackson Triangle area have known expansive-soil issues that show up as foundation cracks and uneven floors. We've bought plenty of them as-is and underwrite the repair budget realistically.
What about Hills properties near the Hayward Fault? +
The Hayward Fault runs through the city — most of the Hills and parts of downtown sit in Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones. We've closed plenty of fault-zone properties and factor the disclosure-and-retrofit reality into the offer up front.
Do you cover Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, San Leandro too? +
Yes — Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, San Leandro, and the unincorporated Alameda County pockets around Hayward all under the same straight process and Alameda County title relationships.
