How We’re Different

When you accept an offer from Sierra Homebuyers, you can sell your house in 7 days (or more if you need additional time) – without the stress of…

  • Meeting realtors
  • Making expensive repairs
  • Cleaning and staging the property
  • Putting on stressful open houses
  • Having strangers in your home
  • Considering offers that may or may not even close
  • Needing to pack and move out of the home on the buyer’s schedule
  • Disposing of old furniture and trash – leave it! We can do that 🙂

Dealing with Sierra Homebuyers was a pleasure. Beginning with Tara at their office and then with Joel at our house that we are wanting to sell. Sierra Homebuyers' staff provided us with professional information that we are using, they were very helpful.

Joel and his crew showed up at a crucial time in my life, I was ready for a major change. Joel said take what you need and walk away from the rest, we will take care of it . It took me awhile to get my head around the idea but I finally did and I am so much happier. Sierra Homebuyers was great and very patient.

Admittedly apprehensive reading so many negative articles about the cash selling process. Very easy to work with and none of the deceptive tactics that are depicted with perhaps less reputable companies. From what I've seen so far they are absolutely deserving of their excellent BBB rating.

We recently lost our father on fathers day and it was unexpected. We needed help with house and these guys came to the rescue. They were honest, prompt, and helped guide us through our options. Others called about the house but they weren't the same and were not here locally. I would highly recommend there services and reaching out.

I called shscash because I needed to sell my house after my wife pases away. They answered the phone every time I called and quickly came out to the house. They showed up on time and the communication was amazing. They helped open my eyes on how to move and how to maximise the money I get for the house. These guys were honest and shot me straight.

Joel and SHS were very helpful in the sale of our fire damaged property. Although we sold to a different party he still did followup calls and was concerned that we were taken care of throughout the process. Joel is very honest and helpful, also very knowledgable and has many connections with people in the business. I would definitely recommend Joel and SHS to anyone who needs a quick and safe sale with a very reputable company. Thanks Joel !!!

I couldn’t believe my good luck in finding Sierra Housing Solutions. As a retiree I couldn’t qualify for a decent mortgage so I needed to sell my current home in order to pay cash for a new one. They made it so easy! I got a good price without having to replace the carpet and deal with realtors etc. Also they are letting me stay in my home for a short while so I can get ready for the move more easily. At every step they made the process as easy as possible for me. I’m so grateful to Sierra Housing Solutions.

I can't say enough about the people at SHS. We were in a hurting situation, and Alex and Annie couldn't have been any kinder and professional. Everything they did was with the intention of helping, and they certainly hit the bullseye! They kept their word at every turn, making a difficult situation easier. This went fast and smooth, and I would highly recommend Sierra Housing Solutions to anyone!!! 6 stars!!!!

Can't thank these guys enough for help in expediting....and being flexible...in purchasing our home. Their ability to close quickly and with minimal input from me was key to the whole process. Second, and nearly as important was the ability to simply turn over the home when we were ready to move. Due to some complexities in the need to sell the home, not having to worry about minor repairs or even leaving a completely spotless home was super important. Timing was perfect and even when we had to ask for some additional flexibility from SHS they were able to accomodate.

If you’re looking for a nice professional business this is the place to call. We needed to sell my uncle’s house to pay for his medical care. His house was in extreme disrepair with much work needing to be done inside and out. Joel and his team were wonderful and very professional, while also being very compassionate about our families circumstances. The whole process from start to finish only took three weeks! Joel was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend SHS if you need to sell your home fast and in need of repairs.

We had already moved out of state at the time of our closing. There was a problem with the title company recording our sale. As soon as Joel received our call the problem was rectified. We would highly recommend SHS. From start to finish a great team to deal with!

In February of this year my wife and I were considering selling our home in Minden, NV and moving somewhere we have never had the opportunity to visit and explore. Our biggest fear was dealing with another fast talking slow walking realtor making big bucks and doing little or nothing to earn it. Then we saw the Sierra Housing Solutions commercial on television and made the call. Two days later we met with Joel and he came up with a plan to sell our home without the stress and hassle of a realtor. Joel even gave us 15k in advance to help with the expense of relocating. Without that money in advance we would not have been able to secure another home while Joel took care of the sale of our old house. We were able to focus on relocating and not worry about what a realtor was or wasn't doing. The SHS team was amazing. With Joel's leadership they took care of listing, showing, repairing and finalizing the sale of our house. SHS did everything the commercial advertises they do and 28 days later we are on our way to the house of our dreams in Tennessee. If there were such a thing as a 6 star rating I would certainly give it to Joel and his team at Sierra Housing Solutions.

Shane & Joel are remarkable young men, their way of doing business reminds me of times gone by, simple, fair, & caring. Hi, I am a Reno senior, For the last 5 years I have wanted to downsize, yet the stress of dealing with, having people in and out of the home, appts not kept and at times so much drama. I just couldn't do it. Then I over heard SHS t.v. ad, and thought, gosh if only it were that easy. then I saw the t.v. ad, who could resist watching this young man holding a boy on each hip, instantly made me smile. I began thinking of the ad in earnest, I did the pro/con list, looked at my home objectively , and ran the numbers. I went on line an reached out to SHS, Joel called me back and after visiting on the phone a bit Joel came to see the home, Joel was very thoughtful, and like on the phone he sort of interviewed me, making sure my. . .. decision was not made in haste . Joel and I came to an agreement, then Shane came to the home, like Joel , Shane very thoughtful and making sure I understood the process, both Joel and Shane stayed in touch during the process, before we knew it they had bought my home and gave me the chance to move on to my next adventure. No stress, just a wonderful win win situation. This is a great way of changing properties and I will forever praise Shane & Joel. Thank you both for everything, truly means more than you will ever know. sheila

The first thing i was told by Shane was if we can't help you we will get someone that can. They came out to my home promptly as we were doing the walk thru I let them know our family was and had just gone through medical crisis they were very kind and professional. Joel asked me what i needed for the house I told him then i asked him what could he offer me it was a very fair offer. Joel and Shane said they thought i could get what i needed for my home and they had the person to help me. They asked if they could make a call i said yes they put it on speaker phone and we all talked i made an appointment. About a week later Joel called me and asked how things were going i told him great . I would like to Thank Joel and Shane for helping me and my family and doing what they said they would do.

I called SHS just to ask how they go about helping folks who want to sell their home and I got to talk to Joel. Even though I'm not exactly sure, yet, how I want to proceed, he still spent about 30 minutes chatting with me. Our pleasant conversation was a nice break in my day. And I never felt like he was trying to rush me off the phone. He answered my questions, and made me feel like it was okay to ask them. I want to leave 5 stars for Joel's character and personality. If you have a house to sell folks, he's a patient, nice person to talk to.
