No Repairs, No Staging, No Showings
Sell your Palms property in its current condition. We evaluate as-is and send a written cash offer within 24 to 48 hours.
“As-is” means we buy your Palms property in its current physical condition, with no requirement that you repair, clean, update, or stage anything before closing. That matters most on the older housing stock that makes up much of Palms: pre-1960s Craftsman and Spanish Colonial houses that were never modernized, and the dingbat and low-rise apartment buildings built after the neighborhood’s mid-century rezoning.
What “As-Is” Actually Changes
Selling as-is does not mean hiding known problems — it means the offer already accounts for the property’s condition, so you are not asked to fix anything before we close. An older roof, outdated plumbing or electrical, foundation issues, a garage conversion done without permits, or units with deferred maintenance can all be factored into the offer instead of becoming a repair list a financed buyer’s inspector hands you after an accepted offer.
What “As-Is” Does Not Change
An as-is sale does not remove California’s standard seller disclosure requirements. You still complete a transfer disclosure statement describing what you know about the property’s condition, and any required smoke and carbon monoxide detector certifications and seismic gas shutoff valve certification still apply before a Los Angeles closing, alongside the city’s 9A Report of Residential Property Records. Selling as-is means you are not required to complete repairs first — it does not remove the paperwork that applies to any Los Angeles County sale.
Why As-Is Sales Are Common in Palms
Palms is one of the densest neighborhoods on the Westside, with roughly 41,710 residents in 1.5 square miles and 92 percent of its housing rented. A 1960s rezoning replaced much of the original single-family housing stock with apartment buildings, so much of what we look at is small multi-unit property rather than a typical owner-occupied home, and that stock often carries decades of deferred maintenance that would be expensive to bring current before a retail listing.
- Original 1920s-1950s wiring or plumbing in houses and buildings that predate the neighborhood’s apartment boom.
- Unpermitted garage conversions or added units, common enough in Palms’ dense lots that a lender’s appraisal can flag them.
- Deferred maintenance on rented buildings where capital improvements were postponed for years.
- Fire, water or structural damage that would otherwise require a large repair budget before listing.
How an As-Is Offer Is Built
We look at the property’s condition, location, recent comparable sales, and, for multi-unit buildings, the rent roll and any Rent Stabilization Ordinance registration status. We are not comparing your house to a fully renovated flip — we are pricing it as it sits today. If the numbers work for both of us, we send a written offer, usually within 24 to 48 hours, with no obligation to accept.
Palms’ Housing Stock and Why As-Is Sales Are Common Here
Palms has been part of the City of Los Angeles since 1915, the oldest annexed neighborhood in the city, and a 1960s rezoning replaced much of its original Craftsman and Spanish Colonial housing stock with the dingbat and low-rise apartment buildings that now dominate the area around Venice Boulevard and Motor Avenue. Redfin’s August 2026 data puts Palms’ median sale price at about $1,134,452, and financed buyers competing for that median often want a property that will pass a lender’s appraisal cleanly — something Palms’ older, rented housing stock does not always do without repairs first.
An As-Is Sale Still Involves Los Angeles’ Closing Requirements
Selling as-is does not exempt a Palms property from the City of Los Angeles’ 9A Report of Residential Property Records, required retrofit certifications, or the combined $5.60 per $1,000 transfer tax that applies to a sale in the city. We order the 9A report ourselves once escrow opens, so an as-is sale still moves through the same closing steps as any other Los Angeles County transaction — the difference is that the property’s physical condition is not a reason for us to ask for repairs or walk away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to fix anything before you will make an offer?
No. We evaluate the property in its current condition and build that into the offer.
Do I still have to disclose known problems?
Yes. California’s standard seller disclosure requirements still apply to an as-is sale; selling as-is means you are not required to repair those items first, not that you skip disclosing them.
Will you buy a Palms building with unpermitted units?
Yes. We account for unpermitted square footage or units in our offer rather than requiring you to legalize or remove it before closing.
Is an as-is cash offer always lower than a retail listing?
Often, yes, since the buyer is taking on the condition and the risk. The comparison that matters is net proceeds after repairs, commission, and carrying costs, not the headline price alone.
What about tenants living in an as-is property?
We can buy with tenants in place. See our guide to selling a tenant-occupied house in Palms.
If you own property in Palms and want a real cash number, call or text 424-493-4424. We will review the property and send a written, no-obligation offer within 24 to 48 hours. Our how it works page walks through the full process.
