Direct answers. No fine-print fog.
These are the questions homeowners ask most often. Your property may have details that change the answer, so reach out when you need specifics.
About us and our mail
Yes. We are a local company with an office at 1701 Westwind Dr, Suite 107 in Bakersfield. We write to homeowners who may be facing a foreclosure or handling a probate. Our mail lists different local phone numbers by area, and they all reach our team.
No. A conversation is free, whether or not you ever sell.
No. You never have to accept an offer, and we will not pressure you to sign on the first call. A conversation or offer does not obligate you to sell. Review the terms and get independent advice when you need it.
No. We are a real estate company. We can explain the property side of your situation, and we will tell you when you need an attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor.

Selling to us
When we make a direct purchase offer, Kern Home Solutions Group is the buyer—not your listing agent. If another path appears more suitable, we will say so.
We consider the property's location, condition, size, recent comparable sales, repairs, title and occupancy issues, holding costs, and the time and risk involved in resolving the situation.
Sometimes, but not every property should be promised a seven-day closing. Clear title and straightforward ownership can move quickly. Probate, lender, solar, lien, or occupant issues usually take more coordination.
That can often be addressed in the purchase agreement. Tell us what you want to remove and what you may need to leave behind.
For a direct purchase by Kern Home Solutions Group, there are no agent commissions and we typically cover the ordinary closing costs we agree to in writing.
No. If we buy the house, we buy it in its current condition. We evaluate the property as-is. You do not need to clean it out, stage it, or complete repairs for us.
Foreclosure and probate
No private company can guarantee that. Depending on the timeline and facts, there may be reinstatement, loss-mitigation, listing, or sale options. Contact us early and speak with qualified legal or housing professionals when appropriate.
We can help with the property evaluation, title and escrow coordination, and a possible as-is purchase. Probate authority and legal decisions should be handled with a qualified attorney.
No. The earlier you call, the more options are usually open. See the foreclosure timeline on our pre-foreclosure page.
We have three free two-page guides, with no email required.
