Q: Will you list my house on the MLS or buy it?
A: Unlike traditional real estate agents, we don’t list properties. Instead, we buy houses directly from homeowners. At RescuEquity, we specialize in purchasing houses in San Diego with cash. This means no waiting for buyer financing or dealing with uncertainties.
Here’s what happens after we purchase a home:
- We may renovate the property to maximize its value.
- We might sell it to another buyer who’s ready to move in.
- In some cases, we keep it as a long-term rental property.
By cutting out the middleman and avoiding MLS listings, we ensure a faster, smoother transaction for you.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Traditional real estate agents market your home and wait for buyers, which can take months. Plus, they charge commissions—typically 3-6% of your sale price—and may require you to cover closing costs and repairs.
We work differently:
We handle repairs: Sell your house as-is; we’ll take care of the rest.
No waiting: We buy houses directly with cash, often closing in just days.
No fees or commissions: You keep every dollar of the sale price.
No showings or open houses: You deal with just one buyer—us!
RescuEquity:
We buy houses directly, eliminating the need for showings, open houses, or waiting for the right buyer to come along. With no commissions or fees, you keep more of your money. Plus, we close on your schedule, often within days, and handle all repairs ourselves.
Real Estate Agents:
Agents list your home on the MLS, market it, and coordinate showings with potential buyers. On average, it takes 4-6 months to sell a property. When it does sell, you’ll pay commissions (usually 3-6% of the sale price) and may have to handle closing costs and repairs.

A: Our offer calculation is transparent and based on:
- The property’s location—is it in a desirable neighborhood?

- The value of comparable homes recently sold in San Diego.
We use these factors to determine a fair, competitive cash offer that reflects your home’s true value.

Q: How do you determine your offer price?
A: Transparency is at the heart of everything we do. When we evaluate your property, we consider:
- The property’s location (is it in a desirable area?).
- The current condition of the home (what repairs or updates are needed?).
- The value of comparable homes recently sold in your neighborhood.
Using this information, we calculate an offer that’s fair, competitive, and tailored to your property’s unique features.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions when selling to you?
A: Absolutely not! When you sell your house directly to us:
- You won’t pay any commissions or listing fees.
- We cover all closing costs.
- You avoid repair expenses—we buy houses as-is.
Our process ensures you get the most out of your sale without any hidden costs or surprises.
Q: Is there any commitment when I share my property information?
A: No commitment, no pressure! When you provide us with details about your property, we’ll evaluate it and make a cash offer. The choice to move forward is entirely yours. We’re here to provide options, not push you into a decision.
