No - We're local homebuyers who purchase properties directly. You don't pay commissions or listing fees.

We buy houses, condos, townhomes, duplexes, and vacant land - in any condition.

Not at all. We buy homes "as-is". You don't need to spend thousands of dollars on renovations, complete a single repair, or even clean out the property. We take care of all that so you don't have to.

As quickly at 21 days. Or later, if you need more time. The sale is flexible to your timeline.

We buy properties in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Delta, Surrey, Richmond, Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Mission, Fraser Valley, Langley, Abbotsford, and Vancouver Island including Nanaimo.

You can fill out our contact us form or give us a call at 604-265-6805. We'd be happy to answer and and all questions you might have.

Yes. We work with your timeline and can coordinate the purchase of your current home so you can confidently move forward with your next one. Our process is designed to eliminate the uncertainty of listing on the market, avoiding extended selling timelines and unpredictable outcomes that could impact your ability to secure your dream home.

Yes! As long as you have equity in your home, you will likely be eligible for a cash advance ranging from $20,000 up to $200,000. These funds can be used for moving expenses, a down payment on your dream home, or any costs that come up while you're waiting for your sale to close. We've got your back every step of the way.

Yes, you can absolutely start the process. While a real estate transaction cannot officially close and transfer titles at the Land Title Office until the court grants probate, you don’t have to wait around the three to seven months the probate period typically takes. We can evaluate the property and enter a contract early that specifies the official closing will take place shortly after probate is granted. This gives your family peace of mind and certainty while the legal paperwork catches up.

In British Columbia, probate fees typically range between $3,500 and $7,500, plus PST/GST and out-of-pocket court filing/disbursement costs. These fees must be paid before the court issues the Grant of Probate. If your estate is facing this "catch-22" and cannot afford the upfront costs, we can help. In situations where it is absolutely necessary, West Coast House Buyers can work directly with your estate lawyer to advance and pay the probate fees on your behalf to get the process moving.

No, you don’t need to do any work at all. We buy inherited properties exactly as they are. You do not need to spend thousands of dollars on renovations, hire junk removal services, or stage the home for endless public showings. You are free to take the personal belongings you want to keep and leave any unwanted furniture or items behind—we will take care of the rest.

Not necessarily. Many sellers assume that putting money into an older home guarantees a higher profit, but major renovations are rarely simple or cheap. Between unexpected cost overruns and the high risk of mismatched tastes—where a buyer looks at your brand-new $40,000 kitchen and immediately plans to tear it out—renovating can often result in wasteful spending rather than a higher bottom line.

Homeowners usually underestimate the physical, financial, and emotional toll of a remodel. The most common headaches include:

• Contractor Issues: Dealing with unreliable schedules that drag projects out for months, and unforeseen repairs that blow through your budget.
• Quality of Life: Living in a chaotic construction zone, dealing with constant dust, and losing access to essential spaces like the kitchen, which can make day-to-day living more difficult.
