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 🙂

To leave every interaction better than we found it

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
We were very unsure on the direction to go. We are so glad that we called Joel for selling our home, he was wonderful!
Joel was excellent! He provided great options, so glad he was the 1st guy we called.
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!
Joel was great to work with. Very professional and was willing to take the time to sit with us figuring out what all our options were in regards to our home. I highly recommend Joel if anyone is looking to sell their home.
Called and set up a walk through appointment. Everyone was very nice, got all my questions answered. Joel was amazing. Answered everything and works with you on whatever you have going on. 10/10 would recommend
What a pleasant experience! The team at Sierra Homebuyers did everything they promised, when they promised. Fair price, excellent communication, my wife and I couldn’t be happier…highly recommended!
Thank you for everything, the process was very positive and the communication was very helpful.
I contacted for my house in Gardnerville NV and Joel came out and really made me feel at ease. Help me think about meny options and help me. You should call him if you're thinking about selling your house. He was wonderful.
Sierra Homebuyers was there for us offering moral support through our eviction process. Once we got to the selling of our property, the process went pretty fast, with no issues along the way.
Hey we reached out and sold our home everyone was great. Tera and Joel and everyone was very helpful and honest, aal and all great experience
Lived in the Bay area all my life and recently sold my property to Sierra Homebuyers. The offer was great ! The process was extremely efficient and hassle free. Definitely recommend them if you’re looking to sell quick, at a fair price and hassle free!
They came out to our home here in Reno and really help us out with our property. This was our first time going through cash buyers but they made everything extremely simple and easy. We got everything figured out within the day. Now we have a lot of weight lifted off our minds
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.
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
Showed up in a timely matter! They were both very professional they really cared about our situation and what we needed
Joel and his team were phenomenal in what we thought was going to be a stressful situation. Joel made the process so easy and seamless. He was attentive, kind, and easy to work with! If you’re interested in selling your home without all the stress please make a phone call to Sierra Homebuyers and let them handle everything! You will not regret it!!
Very nice people to work with. We had unexpected issues and they helped us work through them and stepped up when they didn’t need to
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.
Great.\nPresentation
Joel and his team were very helpful and knowledgeable!
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.
Mark H. Was honest and quick. Very sympathetic and understanding. Also had the knowledge to make the process easy and smooth. Without making an offer helped us in the right direction.
This was an amazing process from start to finish. They weren't the right option for us but they gave us a bunch of information that really helped us out!
Helped me and my wife sell the property and they made it as seamless as possible. Highly recommend
I called and if was proffessional from the start and well worgh the time. They gave me a ton of informatjon that is hslping ms make mg decision. I. You will gst treatesd fair. Im gladedd I called and you should too .
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
The process worked great. First time I’ve called one of these companies. Very nice on the phone. Set up an appointment around my schedule came out professional had a great conversation with options. Will highly recommend.
I have experienced working with a lot of home buying companies in the past. I can tell you that Vince, Angelo and the whole team at Sierra Homebuyers care about their customers and do business the right way. I highly recommend them to see if they are a good fit for your situation.
The team at Sierra is honest, hardworking, and most importantly full of integrity. They do exactly what they promise and follow through every step of the way. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy home buyer!
They are professional and friendly. They put you at ease and there is no pressure. Also no judgements, they give the honest truth. I was nervous about calling and meeting them but they were great. We highly recommend meeting them.
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
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
Met with Mark who was an absolute pleasure to work with. He provided us with great information. He was very honest, straightforward and provided us with many options to consider. Although we were unable to work together I highly recommend hearing what Sierra Homebuyers has to offer.
Trustworthy. Kind. Open. And honest.I tried several companies. Sierra Home Buyers were the best and easiest to work with. From beginning to end.
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.
This company is truly amazing!
Sierra homebuyers is a very good place to go When you need to sell a problem house. Joal and his team were very helpful. They adjusted to my particular situation and were very fair with the sale price. If I ever need to I will use them again and would recommend them for a low stress, Sale in a high stress situation.
Honest , kind & they are knowledgeable! If they can, they will bend over backwards to help. I'm So glad I met this team! Give them a call!
Joel, Mark, and his team were kind, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. They listened to my particular situation and got me in touch with the right people. Thank you Sierra Homebuyers!
Pretty streamlined & simple to deal with every body.
I reached out to Joel to see about selling my house as-is since I am going through a divorce, besides just giving me an offer he looked at my whole situation, he shot me straight to choose the best solution for me! I would highly recommend giving Sierra Homebuyers a call.
I figured I'd give the Home Buying route a shot since I'm retiring and selling my rental. I contacted 3 businesses. Sierra Homebuyers came out, gave a fair assessment and was willing to make an offer. No pressure and no hassle.
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.
I'm a licenesed agent and had a good consultation with Mark at Sierra Homebuyers. They are straight shooters, transparent, and get right down to it. Even though we didn't get a deal done this time, I'm definitely open to using their services in the future.
