Fourplexes represent the largest residential multi-family property before crossing into commercial lending territory. In San Francisco, this means a narrow buyer pool split between residential investors and commercial buyers. Lender requirements for 4-unit properties are stricter, and financing fall-throughs are common. A cash sale bypasses every one of these obstacles.
San Francisco's housing market is undergoing a historic recalibration — the only major US city where median home prices are meaningfully lower than their 2022 peak — as tech sector layoffs, remote work, crime concerns, and population outmigration converged to create an actual buyer opportunity in a market that had seemed permanently unobtainable. Median condo prices have fallen 15–20% from peak to approximately $1.1M–$1.2M, while single-family home prices remain stubbornly high at $1.5M+ due to extreme scarcity. Contrarian investors who believe in San Francisco's long-term recovery thesis — underpinned by the world's highest concentration of biotech and AI/tech talent — see the current window as generational, while those concerned about population trends and governance challenges remain cautious.

Pacific Heights
San Francisco's most prestigious residential address, where Victorians, Edwardians, and contemporary mansions overlook the Bay and command $4M–$30M+, home to tech billionaires, venture capitalists, and old San Francisco money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a fourplex require a commercial appraisal to sell?
On the traditional market, many lenders require a commercial-style appraisal for fourplexes, which can take weeks and add uncertainty. Since we pay cash, no appraisal is needed and the process moves much faster.
Can I sell my fourplex if some units are vacant?
Yes. We buy fourplexes in San Francisco regardless of occupancy — fully leased, partially vacant, or completely empty. Vacancies do not prevent a cash offer.
What if my fourplex has mixed-use units (residential and commercial)?
Mixed-use fourplexes are still eligible for a cash offer. We buy properties with ground-floor commercial and upper residential units, as well as traditional all-residential configurations.
How do tenant issues affect the sale of my fourplex?
They do not. Whether you have non-paying tenants, month-to-month leases, or tenants with long-term contracts, we purchase the property with tenants in place. No evictions required.
Will deferred maintenance on a fourplex lower my offer significantly?
We make fair offers based on the property's current condition and the San Francisco market. While deferred maintenance is factored in, we do not penalize you the way a traditional buyer's inspection would.
Is there a minimum occupancy rate required to get a cash offer?
No. We buy fourplexes at 0% to 100% occupancy. There is no minimum rental income or occupancy threshold to receive an offer from EasyOffer.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
