Why Los Angeles homeowners sell with Sundae
On the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), turnkey properties tend to fetch top-dollar. For this reason, a traditional real estate agent might recommend that you do renovations to your dated and distressed house before you list it. This is time consuming, expensive and doesn’t guarantee that you’ll net more money when it’s all said and done.
Let us sell your house fast in a short amount of time without making any updates or costly repairs. You won’t need to have any open houses, you could receive multiple offers, and there are no fees paid to Sundae by the seller.

Risks to selling your house fast
There are three main risks that you might come across when trying to sell your house fast:
- Undervaluing your property. Buyers will try to get you to accept a low offer, because they know you want to sell fast. That means less money in your pocket.
- Getting scammed and unsavory behavior. Beware of predatory tactics like low-ball offers and the bait-and-switch. This is when you’re offered a certain price, then the buyer renegotiates for way less than they promised after they have you on the hook.
- Missing out on another opportunity. It’s important to evaluate your options for selling before making a decision, so that you know you made the right choice when the deal is done.
Sundae understands the risks of selling your house fast and takes this into account throughout our process. If you’re concerned about leaving money on the table or afraid that you missed a good opportunity, our marketplace offers reassurance. You might get your highest offer on our platform with no obligation to accept. We also ensure that our investors have proof of funds when they make an offer, so that you can’t get scammed or otherwise taken advantage of.
No matter where you are in the home selling process, we’ll help you navigate situations so that you’ll always know what’s happening.
Compare multiple offers for your house on your timeline
With Sundae, you don’t need to settle for less. In fact, we’re dedicated to helping you discover more options.
Sundae’s marketplace is full of cash home buyers. Our platform drives investor competition for your house, sometimes leading to multiple offers.

As a result, you’re in control to decide which offer works best for you and your family.

What our customers are saying
Royce & Lee B.
“Took the burden of selling off us”
One of the benefits of Sundae was that they took much of the burden of selling the house off of us. Sundae sold our house in under a month. We appreciated that Sundae represented our interest.
Roy & Blanche
“Thought of preparing to get the house ready was overwhelming”
We’d been thinking about selling the house for quite some time but just the thought of preparing to get the house ready for sale was overwhelming. When Sundae proposed their as-is program, that made a lot of sense for us.
Margie W
“There was a lot of stuff that needed to be done”
My sister and I shared responsibilities in taking care of my mom. She had passed away so we didn’t want a whole, long drawn out situation. We already knew none of us had the money or the time to put into the house because there was a lot of stuff that needed to be done.
Andrew H.
“My life has changed remarkably since selling with Sundae.”
My life has changed remarkably since selling with Sundae. Not having the weight of the uncompleted home hanging over my head is really a game changer.
Shelley D.
“I couldn’t recommend you enough!”
I’ve recommended you to several people, two of whom are actually going to use Sundae to sell their homes, plus I already have a friend who is about to close. I couldn’t recommend you enough!
Oscar S.
“I was somewhat baffled at how easy it was.”
It was the smoothest transaction I’ve ever done, and I’ve done about 5 houses in my lifetime. I was somewhat baffled at how easy it was. I was waiting for more paperwork, but none ever came. Everything was extremely simple and easy.
Ferdinand S.
“This company is legit.”
This company is legit... the process was smooth, straightforward and painless. Sundae definitely treated me more than fair and I recommend them to anyone trying to sell their place with no renovations and showings!
Stan M.
“Things turned out great.”
Well, at first I didn’t believe it, but that’s the way it turned out. I had him explain that to me, because I thought ‘how could somebody bid on a property and not physically inspect it themselves before making an offer?’ but it worked out great…Three of the offers I received were, in my opinion, absurdly high. But, I went with one of them and things turned out great.
Camille S.
“Was really cool to see a pool of buyers bid on my home.”
I really liked that you guys put the house out to your network of investors. It was really cool to see a pool of buyers bid on my home, I thought that was amazing. Having the ability to see all of the offers from investors on your marketplace made this a truly unique selling experience for me.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to sell a house that needs work?
The fastest way to sell a house that needs work is by selling off market. This means selling with a fast cash offer either directly to an investor, iBuyer or using a marketplace like Sundae. In doing so, you’ll be able to save time and money that would’ve otherwise been spent on renovations.
Even though your house may not be at risk of entering foreclosure, you want to move on with your life. When evaluating ways to sell, consider all of the on-market and off-market options.

How long does it take to sell my house in distressed condition?
In general, it takes longer to sell a house that needs work on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) than it does for market-ready properties. Whether you decide to sell as-is or renovate before listing, it could take several months to sell. Your money will likely sit in escrow during this time.
The fastest way to sell a house that needs work is by exploring off-market options such as working with a wholesaler or iBuyer, selling to an individual investor or using Sundae’s marketplace. These options give you more control over the time horizon for selling.
Though you might not get an offer today, our team will help you field offers just days after a home inspection takes place and we receive your completed home seller disclosures. During this time, property investors on our marketplace will place offers on your house. We will bring your highest non-contingent cash offer to you at that point.

What’s the difference between Sundae and an iBuyer?
Sundae is not the same as “we buy houses,” iBuyers, or another home buying company. Both iBuyers and marketplaces like Sundae help you sell your home fast, but there are some key differences that you should be aware of:
- iBuyers typically target houses that need minimal updates so that they can resell them quickly.
- Sellers receive one “take it or leave it” offer.
- When you sell to an iBuyer, they might charge you a fee. This cuts into your bottom line.
On the other hand, Sundae’s marketplace connects sellers with investors who pay cash and specialize in renovations for houses in poor condition. They compete for your house , giving you an opportunity to receive multiple offers. And the best part? As a seller, you pay no fees to Sundae.

Should I sell my house now in Los Angeles, CA?
You might want some quick cash to move on from your situation, but it’s crucial that you do some research first. Before deciding to sell your house, you need to understand some real estate basics and how they impact you in the Los Angeles area.
The market is shifting from a strong seller’s market into an equilibrium. This is a result of rising interest rates, supply chain issues and other factors. With that said, people sell in various market conditions for a variety of reasons. Keep that in consideration when it comes time to price your house.
A good way to get a better feel for pricing in the current market is to conduct your own research. As of August 2022, the median sold price of a single family home in the Los Angeles metropolitan area is $765,000. Less houses are facing foreclosure due to the market appreciation seen across the country, especially in 2021.
