Ready to Sell Smarter? Let's Get Started
Everyone likes to know the “value” of their home but the big question really isn’t “What is my house worth?” it’s “What will I actually walk away with if I sold it on the market?” Aside from what you may owe on your mortgage, there are plenty of costs, fees and risks with every traditional sale: 5-6% realtor commissions (yikes), repairs, closing costs, title/escrow fees, holding costs, and of course, price reductions….sellers almost ALWAYS ask for concessions or money for repairs, which will further chip away at your bottom line. Once you really understand what you’d make from selling your house just listing it with a realtor, then you can truly choose the best path forward for YOU, as you have several options.
Selling on the market might look appealing with a higher listing price, but is it worth the time and upfront costs? For some, a quick, hassle-free cash sale might be the better choice—no repairs, no waiting, just an easy transaction. Others who are somewhere in the middle – maybe you don’t have time and energy to wait 3-5 months to sell, but maybe you’re not willing to take an as-is cash offer – you might prefer to maximize your property’s value through our funded renovation & Equity Boost Program, where we fund and manage renovations, and you pay nothing until your house sells for top dollar, guaranteed.
Our Home Sale Calculator takes the guesswork out of the process. By entering a few details, you’ll see an estimate of what you’d pocket in a traditional home sale after deducting the average expenses. From realtor commissions to staging costs, our tool breaks down the expenses so you can make a more informed decision, by looking at which option aligns best with your goals. No two situations are alike, and the best option depends on your priorities: time, convenience, and maximizing your profit. How much equity are you willing to trade for your time and peace of mind? Use our home value estimator & home sale calculator today to find out what your house is worth after the numbers are crunched.

Went through a divorce and had to sell my house in 10 days. SD House Heroes saved me in a time of need!!

They really were our heroes! We closed in 8 days and they gave us a a very fair offer! Thanks Brock & Robyn!!
Had a rental property I had to sell that needed some work, Brock & Robyn did their fix & sell (for free) and I got an extra $56,000!!
Nothing short of a Godsend to my mother, she got an additional $65,000 from the equity boost updates. They even helped her move! She was a very happy camper.
Equity Boost Program was so great for my family, Brock & Robyn were able to pay me $80k more than the cash offers we got for our Carlsbad house. Couldn't believe how fast they put in floors, painted and staged to get it sold too!
We inherited an older house from my grandmother and we needed to sell as-is. The cash offer was very fair, and they were open and transparent the entire time. We closed and got paid in 20 days.
My wife & I did the equity boost program on our townhouse in La Mesa, SDHH got us $115,000 more than the highest cash offer! And they moved us out to Tennessee and took care of literally everything. Couldn't have been better.
They truly were our superheroes. Fortunately they moved us to Arizona but if Brock & Robyn were here today I’d give them a big hug!!
Brock and his team sent the request letter, the authorization, our contract and my proof of funds, and the bank gave us a few more weeks and we got the sale done. Thank God I avoided foreclosure and all the damage to my credit.
My wife and I needed to sell our house for financial reasons, but we didn’t want to move out after a death in the family. SD House Heroes bought our house and did a leaseback to us for 2 years. Brock & Robyn were our true heroes in a time of need.
San Diego House Heroes paid for the renovations upfront and I got the extra profit at closing. This was easily worth the extra 6 weeks!
Yes my husband & I walked away with $115,000 MORE for our Carlsbad house than we would have with the cash as-is offer we almost took! So grateful for the equity boost program but mainly for YOU Robyn!!
I was hesitant at first, but WOW! I walked away with so much more money than I expected after they fixed it up. Absolutely worth it!
I didn’t want to deal with contractors or upfront costs. Brock’s team handled everything, and my house sold for way more than I thought possible.

It’s like free money LOL. Our house was in decent shape, but after the upgrades it seriously looked like a model home. SD House Heroes handled everything and got me WAY more than I expected!
As advertised! Brock’s team fronted the cost, painted and put new lighting in and updated the front yard and we walked away with $64,000 more profit! Yes if you have time and don't need to sell ASAP, do the funded renovation and equity boost guarantee.
I owned a multi-unit apartment building in IB that I couldn’t sell, but SD House Heroes came in and did a fast renovation, and sold it for almost $200k more than it was appraised at!

San Diego House Heroes paid for the renovations upfront, and I got the extra profit at closing. I never thought selling could be this easy AND profitable!
Why pay for all the repairs and then 6% to a realtor and wait around for months!? I got a great offer without any fees, literally zero repairs, we closed in a few weeks and that was it. This is the easiest way to sell, hands down.
I was behind on my mortgage and worried about foreclosure. San Diego House Heroes gave me a way out, paying cash and closing before the bank could take my home. Now, I have peace of mind and a fresh start!

I lost my job and needed to sell my house quickly. Brock’s team gave me a great cash offer and closed in a week. They treated me with kindness and respect during a tough time.
My house needed too many repairs to list on the market. Instead of sinking money into it, I sold it as-is for cash to San Diego House Heroes. Best decision ever!
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but San Diego House Heroes made everything easy. No waiting, no headaches—just a fair offer and a fast closing. Thanks, Brock!
I was dreading selling my home, but Brock’s team took care of everything. I didn’t have to make a single repair or deal with realtors. Just signed, closed, and moved on. Fantastic experience!
