Why Sell Your House to First Choice in Pasadena

Pasadena has one of the most significant collections of historic residential architecture in the country — Greene & Greene craftsmans in the Park Place and Arroyo districts, the dense bungalow stock of Bungalow Heaven (the city's first Landmark District), the Tudor and Spanish Colonial estates of Madison Heights and Oak Knoll, and the mid-century moderns scattered throughout the foothills above Altadena. That historic depth is beautiful and brutal in equal measure for sellers. Pasadena's Cultural Heritage Commission and the Landmark District design review can hold up exterior changes for months, and most of these homes carry pre-war systems that conventional buyers' inspectors flag immediately.

We've bought across Pasadena — Bungalow Heaven craftsmans on streets like McDonald and Catalina, Madison Heights homes near California Boulevard, larger properties in Oak Knoll and the Lower Arroyo, mid-century homes in the Linda Vista hills, and condos near Old Pasadena and the Playhouse District. We've handled estates with knob-and-tube wiring, original galvanized plumbing, seismic retrofit demands on the older brick foundations, and properties tied up in trust and probate disputes for years. We don't require historic-review compliance to close.

Whether you own a Bungalow Heaven craftsman, a Madison Heights Tudor, or an Oak Knoll estate, we can issue a written cash offer in 24 hours and close in as little as 7 days — no commissions, no historic-review delays.
