Just Cause, RAP, and the rest of Oakland's rulebook.

Oakland's Just Cause for Eviction ordinance and the Rent Adjustment Program cover most pre-1996 housing. That means you can't clear tenants for a sale, and a buyer who doesn't account for the rent roll is going to mis-price the building. We don't. The tenant stays under the existing lease at the existing rent — we step in as landlord at close. Beyond rent control: soft-story retrofitting is a real budget item on most West Oakland Victorians and pre-war duplexes, foundation work is common in the Hills on the cut-and-fill lots, and probate volume out of Alameda County Superior Court runs steady.

Active across West Oakland, East Oakland, Fruitvale, Temescal, Adams Point, Oakland Hills, Rockridge, Lake Merritt, and the Dimond. Each neighborhood underwrites differently and we comp inside the right submarket — not the city-wide average.

Form to wire — three steps.

Same path for a vacant SFR, a tenant-occupied duplex, or a probate sale.

Oakland — FAQ

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

Do you buy across all of Oakland — West, East, the Hills? +
All of it. West Oakland Victorians, East Oakland bungalows and duplexes, Fruitvale rentals, Adams Point and Lake Merritt condos, Rockridge craftsmans, Oakland Hills view properties. Each underwrites differently but the process is the same.
Can you handle Oakland Just Cause and the RAP rent control? +
Yes. Oakland's Just Cause for Eviction and the Rent Adjustment Program (RAP) cover most pre-1996 housing. We buy under the existing leases — the tenant stays, we step in as landlord at the same rent. We do not evict to clear units.
Do you handle probate sales in Alameda County Superior Court? +
Regularly. We coordinate directly with the probate attorney, work with executors under IAEA authority where available, and can close after Letters are issued. We've closed plenty of Alameda County probate sales without making the executor fly back and forth.
Do you cover the rest of the East Bay too? +
Yes — Berkeley, Emeryville, Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond, San Leandro, Alameda, plus the inner East Bay pockets in between. Same Alameda County title relationships, same straight process.
