Property problems
Outdated interiors, deferred maintenance, roof concerns, plumbing issues, code items, damage, or a house that simply needs more work than you want to handle.
Cash in your hand. On your timeline. No fees, no repairs, no waiting.
We buy houses in San Bernardino for cash, directly and as-is. You send us the address, we walk the property, and you get a written offer, usually within 24 hours of the walkthrough. A cash sale typically closes in 7 to 21 days versus 60 to 90 for a traditional listing, and you skip repairs, showings and agent commission. The tradeoff is price: cash offers generally land at 70 to 85 percent of fixed-up value.
What Miles Buys Homes does
We buy houses that are hard to list the traditional way. You do not need to make the property market-ready before starting the conversation.
Outdated interiors, deferred maintenance, roof concerns, plumbing issues, code items, damage, or a house that simply needs more work than you want to handle.
Inherited houses, relocation, tenants, family changes, vacant homes, or a timeline that makes showings and months of back-and-forth difficult.
A direct cash sale can be useful when convenience, condition, privacy, or timing matter more than chasing the highest retail listing price.

Before repairs or cleanup
Talk to us before you spend money on repairs, updates, cleaning, or hauling things away. The point of an as-is conversation is to look at the house as it sits and decide whether a direct sale makes sense for you.
Simple next steps
The short version: share the property, talk through the details, then review your option without pressure.
Use the form or call Miles. Start with the address, your best phone number, and anything important about the house or your timeline.
We look at the property details, the condition, the location, and what you need from the sale before we talk about a number.
If an offer is a fit, you can compare it with your other options and decide whether to move forward. You are not required to accept it.

Common reasons people call
A cash sale is not only for distressed houses. It may be worth reviewing when speed, condition, privacy, or simplicity matter.
You may live out of the area, share decisions with family, or simply want a cleaner path forward.
The house may need updates or systems work before a retail buyer would feel comfortable.
A rental can become hard to manage when repairs, rent issues, or communication problems stack up.
If timing matters, a direct conversation can help you understand whether a sale option exists.
A move, job change, divorce, separation, or downsizing plan can make a long listing process harder.
Sometimes the house is not an emergency. You are simply done paying, cleaning, showing, or worrying about it.
Choose the right path
There is no universal winner. The better choice depends on your house, your cash needs, your repair budget, and how much time you have.

A real person behind the site
I am Miles, the person behind Miles Buys Homes. If you are thinking about selling a San Bernardino house as-is, my job is to help you understand the direct-sale option clearly enough to make your own decision.
Some homeowners are ready to sell. Some are still comparing. Either way, you can ask questions before signing anything or spending money on the property.
“A good conversation should leave you clearer, not pressured.”
Offer transparency
A cash offer should not feel random. We start from what the house would sell for fully repaired, then subtract the repairs it needs, closing costs on both the purchase and the resale, holding costs, a risk buffer, and our margin. In practice that lands most offers between 70 and 85 percent of fixed-up value. On a $450,000 after-repair value, that is roughly a $330,000 offer.
Current condition affects repair scope, risk, and what a buyer may need to handle after purchase.
Roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, interior updates, cleanout, and deferred maintenance can all matter.
Recent local sales and property type help frame what the house may be worth after work is complete.
Holding time, resale costs, buyer demand, and market conditions affect whether a direct purchase works.

Questions homeowners ask
We buy houses in San Bernardino, California, including properties in ZIP codes 92401, 92404, 92405, 92407, 92408, 92410, and 92411. Start with the form or call to talk through your address and property details.
The timeline depends on the house, the title, your needs, and the details of any agreement, so no honest buyer can promise one fixed closing date for every property. A cash sale commonly closes in 7 to 21 days once an agreement is signed, compared with 60 to 90 days for a traditional listing. If timing is important, share that early so Miles can explain what may be realistic. Real timelines are laid out here.
You can contact Miles Buys Homes before making repairs, cleaning, or removing belongings. The property can be reviewed in its current condition so you can decide whether an as-is cash sale is worth comparing with your other options.
We start from what the house would sell for fully repaired, then subtract the repairs it needs, closing costs on both the purchase and the resale, holding costs for the months we own it, a risk buffer, and our margin. On a $450,000 after-repair value that typically produces an offer around $330,000. Cash offers generally land between 70 and 85 percent of fixed-up value. The full formula is published here, including the margin.
No. Requesting information or reviewing an offer does not mean you have to sell. The goal is to understand your choices clearly enough to decide whether a direct cash sale, an agent listing, or another path makes more sense.
A direct sale does not use a traditional listing agent, so there is no commission. We pay the standard closing costs: title, escrow, transfer taxes and recording fees. Any specific cost that applies to your sale is stated in the written offer before you sign anything.
We buy inherited houses, rentals, vacant properties, houses needing repairs, properties full of belongings nobody wants to sort, and situations where timing or simplicity matters. That said, we can’t promise every property will get an offer.
Sometimes. A cash sale may fit if you value speed, as-is condition, and convenience. Listing with an agent will usually net you more if the house is market-ready, you can wait 60 to 90 days, and your main goal is the highest retail price. We’ll tell you when that’s the case. Miles spells out exactly when he’s not the right answer.
We get your name, phone number, and property address. Miles looks up the property, then calls or texts you personally, usually the same day and within 24 hours at the latest. The first conversation runs 10 to 15 minutes and you’re not committed to anything. The whole sequence is spelled out here.
Before you accept anything
An offer is information, not a decision. When a number comes back, hold it up against your other options before you say yes or no to anyone, us included.
This page is the summary. If you want the detail before you talk to anyone, the How It Works page walks through the entire process: the three steps in full, the offer formula with a real $450,000 example, a sale that closed in 23 days, and the honest comparison against listing with an agent or using an iBuyer.
If what you actually want to know is who you’d be dealing with, start with Miles instead: how he makes money, what he won’t do, and the situations where he’ll tell you to list with an agent rather than sell to him.
