If You’re Holding Onto an Outdated or Unwanted Home…
…and you’re feeling overwhelmed by:
-
The thought of repairs, clean-out, or prepping the property
-
Agents making wild price guesses and offering little help
-
Cash buyers who pressure you into giving up your equity
-
Or just the feeling of not knowing the best way forward…
You’re not alone, and you have a better option.
It’s fast. It’s proven.
And it consistently puts tens and more often hundreds of thousands more in our clients’ pockets.
Introducing the Hybrid Home Sale System™
This is NOT a traditional sale.
And it’s definitely NOT a quick-cash investor flip.
The Hybrid Home Sale System combines the best of both worlds:
- The reach and exposure of a full listing
- The speed and simplicity of a direct sale
- And a structured process that creates massive buyer competition, without locking you into anything
Best of all, you’re never obligated to accept any offer unless it works for you.
How It Works
We’ve developed a system specifically for outdated, inherited, or distressed homes that need to be sold quickly, without leaving money on the table.
Here’s what happens:
-
We coordinate clean-out, estate sale services, and listing prep and even vehicle sales when it makes sense. No need for you to lift a finger and in many cases at no additional cost to you.
-
We attract qualified buyers and investors who are actively looking for homes like yours using a very unique method.
-
We use a proven process to generate a flood of competitive offers, often in just one day
-
We manage everything while you stay in full control
You decide the timeline, fast or slow…
You keep your options open…
And most importantly, you keep a lot more money than you’d ever get from a typical cash buyer.
Category: Inherited Hoarder Property – Costa Mesa
Condition: Total Rehab Required. Hoarder House. Reverse Mortgage Deadline
Initial Cash Offer: $1,000,000
The Story: This was a ‘clean’ hoarder house. Not a lot of trash, just packed with stacks of boxes and items collected over the years. We arranged for a profitable estate sale. Had the remaining items donated and trash removed. We had one day only for showings.
The Results: 94 buyers showed up. Mostly investors.
28 Offers were received
Final Sale Price: $1,399,000
The Win: The home was sold for $399.000 MORE than the initial offer they were considering. The family was extremely happy.
Category: Mid Rehab Failure – Long Beach
Condition: Mostly gutted home in mid rehab.
Initial Cash Offer: $400,000
The Story: Contractor removed the kitchen and bathrooms down to studs, removed an exterior wall, and then vanished with their money. Homeowners insurance was cancelled. They were getting city notices. Owner was out of money.
The Results: 32 investors were competing for the property
Final Sale Price: $622,000
The Win: The owners chose not to accept the $400,000 that was being aggressively pushed by an aggressive local agent. Instead, they received $222,000 more than they expected allowing them to move on to their next home.
Category: Trust Sale. North Tustin
Condition: Outdated. Needs complete rehab. Damaged Sewer Line
Initial Cash Offer: $550,000 (From A Wholesaler)
The Story: Trustee was assigned to manage the sale but was too busy to deal with the cleanout. Called an ad for “Cash For Your House”. The guy who showed up was Goooood! He convinced this college professor that he wouldn’t get a dime more than $550,000. He didn’t care much about what I had to say but at a family request gave me a shot.
The Results: 46 investors were competing for the property. We beat the initial cash offer in just 6 days with only one showing.
Final Sale Price: $877,000
The Win: The very intelligent trustee learned a lesson that day and put 1/3 of a million dollars back in the heir’s pockets.
These aren’t flukes. They’re the result of a repeatable strategy that works time and time again. And crystal clear proof that you don’t have to let them take the equity you’re due just because it needs repairs or is outdated.
Why Cash Buyers Cost You More Than You Think
Cash buyers move fast so you don’t have time to make a smart decision, because they want your home for less than it’s worth.
They use urgency to pressure you.
They try to isolate you from outside influence.
They point out flaws, highlight repairs, and make you feel like you’ve got no other choice.
But the truth is:
You don’t need to fix anything.
You don’t need to clean it out.
You don’t need to accept the first lowball offer.
With the Hybrid Home Sale System, we do the work to create a buyer frenzy, so you don’t have to settle.
And the Traditional Route? Not Much Better…
Most agents list a fixer-upper and just… hope.
They stick a sign in the yard, upload a few photos, and wait.
Worse, some quietly shop your home to one or two of their favorite investor buyers, locking you into an off-market deal far below what your home is worth. So you’re still getting less for the house AND… paying commissions.
This isn’t how homes should be sold.
And no, this isn’t about putting a low price tag on the property and hoping for a bidding war either. Not if you actually want the highest price possible.
This is a strategic, proven, and professionally managed process that works every time, especially for homes in disrepair or just outdated.
Why I Had to Build This System
I started in real estate in the late 1900’s (according to my kids. 1997 actually) and I spent years specializing in probate and trust sales.
I worked with families who had to sell their parents’ homes, often under stress, pressure, or heartbreaking circumstances.
Time after time, I watched good people settle for far less than they deserved or as I like to call it just what it is, they got ripped off.
Either they took a quick cash offer just to “get it over with”…
Or they tried the traditional route and found themselves overwhelmed by clean-up, repairs, and months on the market they didn’t have.
I created the Hybrid Home Sale System to fix that, and to fight for sellers like you who deserve better. It’s just that simple. But, finding the right process took time and now we’ve perfected it.

What Others Are Saying
“I referred Anthony to one of my family members that needed to do a trust sale. I’m so glad I did. The amount of additional money he showed them how to get them was staggering.”
— Terri Ruff McCormick, North Tustin CA
“We had serious title issues on a property he didn’t even have listed and with a single call he had it resolved for us with nothing in return. Who does that anymore?”
— Lynn B, Tustin
Anthony really helped us when it came time to move our Mother. He really went above and beyond what was expected in an agent by providing really good info about getting a Trust established and the importance of it, how to sell furnishings easily and just overall really took good care of us and Mom. Both my sister and I live out of state and it was really reassuring that he was there taking care of everything for her the times we couldn’t be there. Thanks Again Anthony!
— Lee Schoenfeld, Mom’s home in Mission Viejo
Anthony is wonderful to work with and made selling my mother’s condo a dream. We were worried we would have to invest a lot in fixing it up in order to get the most out of it, but Anthony showed us that wasn’t necessary. He made the whole process simple and quick, and enabled me to focus on caring for my mom and getting her set up to move out of state. He even handled dealing with the furniture and things that weren’t going to be moved! Since then Anthony has helped other members of our family and friends sell their homes, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others
— Stephanie McJunkin – Mom’s home in Aliso Viejo

FAQ’s
My personal team serves primarily Orange County California.
We will consider Riverside, San Bernardino and Parts of Los Angeles counties so contact us to see if we’ll come to your area.
However, we do have agents in various parts of the country that we’ve trained on our process and we’re happy to connect you to them if you’re not in Orange County CA.
No. I’m not an auctioneer. In California you have to have a license to hold an auction.
However, there are some services that agents can pay for that will create an online bidding platform. They’re pretty cool… in concept.
But this goes back to the other question about Can Any Agent Sell A Fixer-Upper?
When an agent lists a fixer-upper and still has the mindset of a traditional listing, having an online bidding platform doesn’t generate the results you’re looking for.
It’s a fun widget and a great tool for getting people to list with them but because of other limitations in the home sale process, most agents will never get property owners the results they’re looking for with them.
Our approach is very much boots on the ground, phone calls, paid ads and a whole lot more. But we’re not doing an auction mostly because we don’t want to force anyone into accepting an offer when the hammer drops. With our process, you’re totally in control over the offers and whether to accept them or not.
Who decides what’s “FAIR”?
Probably not you.
There’s two things you have to remember.
- If you’re only dealing with a single person or company, they get to dictate the terms of what’s fair.
- If they’re not competing with others aggressively, then they’ll still take your equity and call it fair.
- They have no legal, moral or ethical obligation to look out for your best interest regardless of what they tell you.
Professional buyers who run ads like this are really really REALLY good at getting you to believe that their ‘fair’ offer is a good offer. But remember, they are investors. They follow the basic investor rules. BUY LOW – SELL HIGH. So while they may smile at you and tell you they’re paying more than they should but it’s only because they like you, the reality is that smile isn’t to be friendly. It’s because they know they just walked away with your inheritance.
The best way to answer that question is to have me come and take a look at it because of all the variables involved.
I’ve had people in the past who have felt that doing certain repairs or updates would bring them a whole lot more money when in fact it didn’t move the needle for them at all. All it did was cost them money and time.
Why? In the past you could get away with spending $30,000 and really dial a home to prepare to sell and it would give you a return of two to three times.
However in today’s economy that just isn’t true anymore. Most proper updates locally run a minimum of $100,000-$150,000 if we’re including updates like kitchen and baths and that’s what most buyers want. And when you do those kind of updates and spend that kind of money, you have to ask if you’re even going to get that money back. Sometimes little things can be helpful but usually if you have a fixer upper it’s best to let the new owner take care of those kind of updates to their own liking.
If any money is spent, it should be spent on the three S’s Safety, Systems and Structure.
But remember that doesn’t mean you have to give away all of your equity just because it needs updates.
You still have a very valuable asset that people want to buy. And we know how to make them buy it for the best price possible.
In fact, most of our fixer-upper sales never see a paint brush or hammer before being sold.
Technically yes. However you need to know this. Almost all agents are trained to sell homes that are go-to-market ready. They’ve had repairs and updates completed and the house is clean and ready to go. But agents don’t learn how to properly sell fixer-uppers in a way that gets the very highest price. Since 1997, I have not seen a single “How to sell fixer-uppers the right way” training offered to agents.
Instead, you usually end up with a few scenarios.
- Sign In Yard, Wait Forever – They will happily talk you into listing your home the traditional way and put a sign in the yard at a price they think it ‘should’ sell for and then wait. Now you have all those issues you wanted to avoid. Random showings (including nosy neighbors) throughout the days, people talking bad about the home and condition right in front of you, no offers for weeks or even months and constant price reductions. And all the other hassles associated with a traditional listing. I’m assuming if you’re here, this is exactly what you were trying to avoid.
- Low Price, Start A Bidding War – It sounds logical but it’s a common mistake. Don’t get me wrong, this can be a great strategy in a really hot market. But if the market is even slightly soft, it can cause the home to sit for a long time because it’s targeting the wrong buyers and missing critical marketing elements leaving you more stressed than before and potentially ending up taking less than the low starting price.
- Farm It Out To Their Cash Buyer Buddies. – This one actually infuriates me. You hired an agent to list the fixer-upper, and all they do is make a few calls to a few cash buyers. They still make the same low-ball cash offers as if you would have called the cash buyer yourself. The agent calls you and excitedly and says, “We’ve got offers!” You get excited. Then you hear the details. You’re disappointed. Then the agent says something like, “Well, this one’s probably the best you’re going to get because of the condition.” You ultimately accept the offer, lose equity, and the agent still gets paid. And they didn’t do crap!!! So now you still gave up equity AND paid a commission. You walked away with even less than a cash offer. In my book that’s not right.
I’m not like other agents. I have the right strategies to put your property in front of the right audience, get them to compete for your property and get you waaay more in the end. Don’t take the risk of hiring just any agent. Let’s have a conversation and I’ll prove to you what we do is a whole different animal.
NO! There’s always a neighbor who is interested. Ugh. I hear this so often. Take a pause and ask yourself these questions.
1. Are they honestly offering a really fair price for your home? I don’t mean, are they sitting there pointing out all of the things that are wrong with it and how much work is involved to justify their low price? If so, you’re already losing money.
2. Do you owe them the favor of giving them potentially hundreds of thousands of your equity? Despite how good of neighbors you are and how many barbeques or game nights you shared, you DO NOT owe them that equity. Remember, you were a good neighbor too. If they truly want the home, let them compete for it like everyone else.
3. Are they trying to make you feel bad for not taking their offer? This is a clear sign they are trying to take advantage of you. Even if they’re super nice, don’t fall for it. Think about it, would you every give away anything valuable to someone who’s mean and yells at you? No, never. So those people who want to take advantage of you will always smile while they’re picking your pocket.
If you’re in this situation, set up a call with us ASAP and I’ll take care of the neighbor situation and make them feel good about it too.
Absolutely yes. The techniques I implement came from many years in the Probate/Trust sale space which are often fixer-uppers. And much to my horror, I’ve watced families give away hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity. The good news it that these techniques work on any fixer upper regardless of how bad it is or the situation. It can be just cosmetic or down to studs repairs. Set up a call now.
While technically I could, I rarely will purchase the home and for good reason. If I purchase your home it will be no better than other cash investors. With our Hybrid Home Sales System, you will receive a lot more than if you sell to a cash buyer and you still don’t have to do repairs or cleanout. And all done in the same time frame that a cash buyer would buy. If you have an extremely urgent situation don’t give up your equity. But you should call us today.
