Problems We Solve

Your situation isn't unique to us.
We've seen it all.

We don't just buy houses. We solve the problems that come with them — fast, without judgment, at zero cost to you.

🏠
Avoiding Foreclosure
You've received a Notice of Default or are behind on payments. Every day matters. We move fast — often closing before the bank can act.
Urgent
📄
Inherited Property
Someone you loved left you a property — and all the paperwork, taxes, and decisions that come with it. We handle probate complexity and buy as-is.
Probate OK
🔨
Massive Repairs
Fire damage, mold, foundation issues, water damage — traditional buyers walk away. We buy in any condition. No repairs required from you.
Any Condition
🔑
Tired Landlord
Bad tenants, unpaid rent, constant repairs — being a landlord stopped being worth it. We buy with tenants in place. No evictions needed from you.
Tenants OK
📊
Behind on Taxes
Property tax liens don't disappear — they compound. We work with homeowners who owe back taxes and can often still close a clean sale.
Liens OK
⚖️
Divorce / Relocation
You need a clean, fast sale — not months of showings. PCS orders, job transfer, or a fresh start after divorce. We close on your timeline.

Common Questions

Straight answers.
No sales pitch.

If a cash sale isn't your best option, we will tell you that. Always.

What if I've already received a Notice of Default?
Call (619) 734-7306 immediately. A short sale can often still be initiated even after a Notice of Default is filed — but every day matters. California's foreclosure timeline gives you a window, and we know exactly how to use it.
What if my home is worth more than I owe?
Then a short sale isn't the right tool — and we'll tell you that. If your home has equity, a cash sale or traditional listing will put more money in your pocket. We'll show you the real numbers for both options honestly.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in San Diego?
We can close in as little as 7 days. Unlike unlicensed cash investors, Mewawa Group is a licensed CA agent (DRE #01821172) — meaning we also offer full listing to maximize your price if that's the better option. You get both paths, not just one.
Do I need to clean or repair my house before you buy it?
No. We buy homes in any condition — fire damage, water damage, mold, foundation issues, full of belongings, or simply outdated. You don't need to clean, repair, or stage anything. We handle everything after closing.
Are there any hidden fees when selling for cash in San Diego?
Zero. No commissions on cash purchases, no closing costs to you, no hidden fees — ever. We put everything in writing before you sign anything. As a licensed CA agent we are legally required to disclose all fees — something unlicensed investors are not required to do under California law.
Can I sell my house if it has tenants who won't leave?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied properties in San Diego. You don't need to evict anyone before selling — we handle all tenant situations post-closing. This is one of the most common reasons San Diego landlords come to us.
Can I sell a house with fire or water damage in San Diego?
Yes — we buy fire damaged, water damaged, and mold-affected homes as-is across all of San Diego County. You do not need to remediate or repair anything. We make a cash offer based on current condition and handle all repairs after purchase.
Can I sell my house if I owe more than it's worth?
Yes — this is exactly what a short sale is for. As San Diego's veteran-owned short sale specialist, Mewawa Group negotiates directly with your lender to accept less than what you owe. Most sellers pay nothing out of pocket. IBuySD and most cash investors cannot do short sales — we can.
Trusted Local Expert

Why we are the safest choice
in San Diego.

Anyone can print a "We Buy Houses" sign and make you an offer. Very few are licensed to do it — and legally accountable if they don't. Jeffrey Vidal is a California-licensed real estate agent with 18 years of San Diego experience, bound by a fiduciary duty that unlicensed wholesalers simply are not.

That license isn't just a credential. It means every offer is backed by California real estate law. You can verify our standing with the state. If something goes wrong, you have recourse. That's the protection unlicensed cash buyers cannot give you.

  • Legally accountable to you. As a licensed agent, Jeffrey operates under a fiduciary duty — a legal obligation to act in your best interest. Not just a promise. The law.
  • 18 years of San Diego market precision. We price accurately because we know this market — every zip code, every condition, every comparable sale.
  • Two paths, not one. A licensed agent can offer a cash purchase or a traditional listing — whichever nets you more. Unlicensed wholesalers can only offer you one: their price.
  • Verifiable. Transparent. Look up CA DRE #01821172 on the California Department of Real Estate website right now. No unlicensed buyer can say that.

Short Sale FAQs

Questions San Diego
homeowners ask us.

What is a short sale and how does it work in California?
A short sale is when your lender agrees to accept less than what you owe on your mortgage as full payment, allowing you to sell the property and avoid foreclosure. California's anti-deficiency laws (CCP §580b) often protect sellers from owing the difference — meaning you can walk away clean. Mewawa Group handles the entire lender negotiation process for you at no upfront cost.
Will a short sale hurt my credit score?
Less than foreclosure. A short sale typically appears on your credit report for 2–4 years and allows you to qualify for a new FHA or conventional mortgage in as little as 2–3 years. A foreclosure stays for 5–7 years and can delay homeownership much longer. Acting sooner always produces a better credit outcome.
How long does a short sale take in San Diego?
Most short sales in San Diego take 30–90 days from submission to closing. Mewawa Group's direct relationships with major California mortgage servicers — including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase, and others — often significantly speeds up the approval timeline compared to agents without those relationships.
What does a short sale cost me as the seller?
In most cases, nothing out of pocket. As a licensed agent, standard commission applies — but in a short sale, this is paid from the sale proceeds and is part of the lender-approved transaction. We disclose the complete fee structure in writing before you commit to anything. You will not be surprised at closing.
Will I still owe money after the short sale?
In most California short sales, no — especially on your primary residence. California's anti-deficiency laws are among the strongest in the country. We negotiate specifically for deficiency waivers and will tell you upfront what to expect based on your loan type and lender.
Can I do a short sale with a second mortgage or HELOC?
Yes, though it adds complexity. We negotiate with both lien holders simultaneously. This is common in San Diego and something we've handled many times. Don't assume two loans makes a short sale impossible — it often doesn't.
