How First Claim Works

First Claim is a California off-market deal specialist. We put distressed properties under contract, run the numbers, and assign to verified cash buyers with a transparent fee.

For Cash Buyers

Step 1: Join the Buyer List. Submit your proof of funds, buy-box (area, price range, property type), and preferred close timeline. No cost to join.

Step 2: Get matched to deals. When a property fits your criteria, you get first access before it goes to the broader network.

Step 3: Review the deal package. Each deal includes ARV, repair cost estimate, comparable sales, and the assignment fee. You see the full math before deciding.

Step 4: Close fast. Most deals close in 10 to 21 days. Title is already open. You bring proof of funds; we handle the rest.

For Sellers

If you own a California property you need to sell quickly, as-is, and without listings or commissions, contact us for a no-obligation consultation. We evaluate the property, present an offer, and can close in as little as 7 days.

Assignment Fees

Our fee is transparent and stated in every deal package before you decide. The minimum is $10,000. The fee scales with the deal's margin: a larger spread means a higher fee, and you see exactly what that number is before signing anything.

Markets We Work

Inland Empire (Riverside, San Bernardino counties) and the Central Valley (Fresno, Kern, Tulare counties) are our primary markets. These are California's highest-velocity wholesale markets with the cap rates and inventory that serious cash buyers prioritize.
