I've been seeing these guys on TVs for years.. we inherited the house it wasn't sure what to do. We thought let's give him a try and started with them since we saw a good reviews. Now I can see why. It didn't feel salesy or pushy and looked at every angle on what we should do. Actually in the end we just decided to keep the house and I feel so much better. Thank you Joel and team for being a straight shooter and so prompt. That would highly recommend starting with these guys first. They even said if an agent was the right thing to do they would help us find a great resource. Thank you

I was scared to call Sierra Homebuyers but my mom saw their add on TV told me about them, it took me a while to call because I was afraid but Josh was very transparent with me and we talked about my options. He made me feel better about what I could do and less overwhelmed.

I would recommend this company. I got a flyer in the mall and was hesitant to call but gave it a shot. I spoke with Dan on the phone and he was very nice and set up an appointment for the next day with Joel. Joel came over and was very nice and not pushy over anything. He helped use with figuring out what we wanted to do and if his company was a good fit or not. He was so informative on the market as well as setting goals on what we wanted to do. He was so helpful and I am very grateful for his help. I would recommend him if you are looking for an individual that will be straight forward with where things are at and then let’s you decide what you want to do. We ended up with a referral to an A+ realtor that gets things done. Thank you Joel for all the help. We look forward to working with you in the future!

I was looking into the best way to sell my move-in ready home in Sparks. Sierra Homebuyers came out and made recommendations. Joel was so laid back and we just had a great conversation. He made a real estate agent recommendation. I highly recommend giving Sierra Home Buyers a call if you have any real estate sales opportunities.

I called these guys to get an estimate on my house in Reno. They were the most honest and upfront people.I've met in this venture of mine, though I was told I shouldn't go through people that do cash offers. I fill, these guys are the most honest and upfront people.I've ever met.I would suggest you go with them first before going through a realtor.

We met with Mark Hodgson last week from Sierra Homebuyers and were pleasantly surprised by the experience, not at all what we expected. We anticipated that someone would come in for a few minutes and give us a ridiculously low offer on our home and leave. But Mark spent a great deal of time with us and considered our needs and goals for selling our property. In the end we all decided that a cash offer was not the best option for us at this time but his knowledge and how thorough he was about considering the best path for us was extremely helpful.

Meeting Joel was such a great experience. We were looking in to all of our options trying to sell a house for a family member who is passing. He sat down with us a gave us a wealth information. He helped us find the correct path for our situation… that actually meant going a different direction. His integrity, and honesty was very refreshing. I would not only use him given the right situation, but I would also highly recommend him to anyone. He is 100% legitimate.

George Ball

Joel was neither recalcitrant or obstinate in his demeanor. I have experienced both in the home selling world. His professionalism and curtousey were both refreshing and much appreciated. He took the time to understand the temporary VS eternal issues in this life decision of letting go of my home. I highly reccomend him for these things. LeRoy Wilson Reno Nevada

My husband and I recently sold our house to Sierra Homebuyers. The employees at Sierra Homebuyers like Joel, Mark, Susan Kohl and Vincent, to name a few, are the kindest, nicest and friendliest we ever had in selling a house. They made the whole selling process from start to finish quick and smoothly. They even help us get rid of the things and garbage we left behind. Sierra Homebuyers really cares. We love the advertisement with Joel and the twins on TV. Sierra Homebuyers, Thank you so much for buying the house from us. You saved us from a financial disaster. We love you, thank you and appreciate you. To everyone out there who is thinking of selling a house, we recommend Sierra Homebuyers. They will definitely help you make everything possible with selling your house.

Words cannot describe Joel. I have had life we experiences meeting individuals from TV and they have not been good. When I first knew Joel was coming I was hesitant to deal with someone who I believed did not care and just wanted your house. To my surprise Joel was the complete opposite the personality and energy you see on TV from Joel is who he is in person. Again words cannot even describe how wonderful of human being he is. I fully 100% recommend anyone to Joel if your are selling your house for the first time. He helped my aunt and I tremendously and I beyond grateful.

After careful consideration I called Sierra Home Buyers and set up an appointment to view my property. I went through all the reviews and it seemed that this company actually cared for their clients best interest, ie: win-win. After meeting with Joel our property was not the best fit for both of us, however Joel did refer me to a great realtor and I am on my way. If you are in doubt about this company let me assure you, make the call. Joel will shoot you straight. Tennas Neilson

Very easy company to work with. Knowledgeable and professional interaction with everyone we came in contact with. Met with Joel Janson himself . Found him pleasant and easy to converse with. Process was easy and informative. I was confident we could get a fair price and in my timeframe. Really like the family owned business and their philosophy to "Find A Way". We negotiated a fair price and a 30 Day closing. I was very comfortable moving forward with this Family Owned company. I'm a 25 year retired Contractor and I know a good company when I see one. Very happy I chose Sierra Homebuyers. I rate them excellent.

Mark was very helpful courteous professional he spent two hours with us ultimately could not give us a cash offer that was what we were looking for but did set us up with a realtor so that we can go that route I would highly recommend Sierra homes. thank you so very much John and Pam Conatser

John Conatser
John Conatser September 6, 2025

I wholeheartedly recommend this business when they say they buy a house as is that is exactly what they mean. They not only mean that but they also try to make it a good transaction for you as well so you’re not trying to find money to come up and fix your home so you can sell it Vince and Joel are wonderful to work with. I would always go to them from now on if I needed a house sold as is

Joel Janson and Sierra Homebuyers did a great job from day one. We had a 30-year-old home that needed a lot of cosmetic work. Joel put our minds at ease and answered every question; he made sure we were comfortable with the process before moving forward. We received a fair cash offer; if I had to do it again I would definitely contact Sierra Homebuyers.

We had a great experience with Joel and Mark. We were considering selling our house and downsizing to less maintenance. We actually didn’t know where to start but remembered the commercials from Sierra Homebuyers. I called to get some information and got an immediate appointment for the next day. They showed up on time and did a complete walkthrough and evaluation of our home. Joel was extremely personable and explained how their company works and why. There was never any pressure. Although he wasn’t able to help us with the purchase of our home he helped get us set up with a realtor who could help. We are very happy that we called them. They gave us some great suggestions. I would recommend Sierra Homebuyers to anyone needing to sell their property quickly for whatever reason.

Case Study

A Smooth Path Forward During Life’s Hardest Moments

The Challenge:
The property was a solid single-family home, but it carried the weight of years of memories and “to-do” lists. While the kitchen had been tastefully updated, the rest of the house needed work—popcorn ceiling removal, fresh exterior paint, and new flooring. More importantly, the home was filled with personal belongings that required an estate sale.

The Solution:
Erik reached out to Joel Janson and the team at Sierra Homebuyers after seeing a TV commercial. Within an hour, the process was in motion…

The Challenge:
In the quiet neighborhoods of Reno, Nevada, a homeowner faced one of the toughest decisions of his life — selling the family home he inherited from his parents. After living there alone since 2012, the house at Beechcraft Drive was filled with memories that made parting with it deeply emotional.

He discovered Sierra HomeBuyers through a TV commercial and decided to reach out. Within an hour, Joel Janson personally responded. From the very first conversation, the seller felt a genuine sense of trust and relief…
