San Bernardino County is the largest county in the lower 48 states by land area, and its housing reflects that. You'll find older homes near downtown San Bernardino and Rialto, newer tracts in Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga, and High Desert homes in Victorville, Hesperia and Apple Valley, plus mountain cabins near Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead.
Common reasons San Bernardino County homeowners call us
High Desert and mountain properties. Homes in the High Desert and mountain communities can be harder to sell traditionally, especially if they need work or are on larger lots. We review them as-is. See selling a house as-is in California.
Inherited homes. When a parent's home in Redlands, Upland or Highland passes to the family, heirs often want a simple way to settle things. Probate cases are handled by the San Bernardino County Superior Court. Read selling inherited property.
Divorce and liens. If you need to split equity or a property has tax balances, a direct sale can be paid off through escrow. See selling during divorce and selling with tax liens.
Whatever the reason, you choose whether a direct sale makes sense. Learn more about how we help homeowners.
Local process: what to expect in San Bernardino County
Deeds are recorded with the San Bernardino County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk, and property taxes are collected by the San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector. Escrow coordinates recording and payoffs at closing. We don't provide legal or tax advice. If your sale involves probate, divorce, liens or tax questions, we recommend speaking with an attorney or tax professional.
How it works
- Tell us about the property. Call (855) 605-4111 or fill out our form. Share the address, condition and your timeline.
- We review and make an offer. We may ask to walk through the home. Then we present a written cash offer with no obligation.
- You pick the closing date. If you accept, a licensed escrow and title company handles the paperwork. You choose the close date. We close on your timeline once title and escrow can convey. Timing is never guaranteed.
Please note: Max Value Offer is not a real estate broker or agent. We buy homes for cash and may assign the purchase contract. We market our contractual / equitable interest. We are not your listing broker and we may not be the end buyer. Title still closes through escrow. Our offer may be less than what you could get by listing on the open market with repairs; a direct sale trades some price for speed and convenience. Compare your options.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to make repairs or clean out the house?
No. We review homes as-is. You can leave items you don't want, and we'll discuss that during the offer.
How fast can you close in San Bernardino County?
You choose the close date. We close on your timeline once title and escrow can convey. Timing is never guaranteed.
Are you real estate agents?
No. Max Value Offer is a home-buying company, not a real estate brokerage, and we don't list homes. We may assign our purchase contract to another buyer, and we tell you that up front.
Is there any cost or obligation to get an offer?
No. Requesting an offer is free and you're under no obligation to accept it. We encourage you to compare options, including listing with an agent.
