PROPERTY CASE STUDY #1
In Stockton, a homeowner was preparing to relocate to San Diego after retiring, eager to be closer to her family. During her move, her tenant vacated the property, leaving it in poor condition. Faced with the challenge of finding a new tenant and handling renovations, she reached out to us. We offered a fair cash deal that allowed her to avoid the hassle of repairs or managing a rental. The sale closed in just a few weeks, and she received her cash even after moving to San Diego, with no delays or complications
Mary Webb
"Jon was so professional and reasonable with the purchase of my run down rental. With all the repairs/refurbishing needed to prepare it for sale, we reached an agreeable purchase price. It closed escrow in ten days, just as he promised. He saved me a LOT of headaches by taking on this project himself. I know it saved me at least three or four months of my time and money, and would have delayed the time for me to get rid of other debt. And it turned out so much more beautiful than anything I would have been able to do. I’m sure the neighbors are delighted with the outcome too."
PROPERTY CASE STUDY #2
In Stockton, a family inherited a home in severe disrepair that had turned into a hoarder situation. With special needs family members still living there, the new owner felt overwhelmed managing both this property and their own, all while juggling a full-time job. We stepped in, offering a fair cash price that worked for them, which allowed us to close escrow in just two weeks. This gave the family the funds they needed to care for the tenants while lifting the burden of managing the distressed property.

PROPERTY CASE STUDY #3
This inherited home in Stockton came with years of deferred maintenance, multiple unpermitted additions, and two garages stuffed to the ceiling. The homeowner had suffered several strokes and was no longer able to care for the property. After his wife passed away, their daughter—who lived out of state—was left to handle everything as the executor of the family trust.
To make things more complicated, a family friend had moved into the house and was supposed to manage the cleanout, but that quickly fell apart. With no local support and the situation getting worse, the executor was in over her head.
That’s where we stepped in.
We helped coordinate the full cleanout of both garages, assisted with removing the family friend from the home, and handled all communication and paperwork remotely so the executor never had to fly in. She didn’t have to lift a finger or deal with the stress of managing a long-distance rehab.

"Jon Sump went above and beyond to help me with the sale of my mom's home after she passed. It was reassuring to know that he could guide me through the sale with the complications of a trust. I would highly recommend Mr. Sump for his overall dedication, professionalism, and knowledge of real estate."
PROPERTY CASE STUDY #4
This Stockton home once belonged to a well-known musician from a legendary American rock band. After he passed away, the property was inherited by his brother in Kansas, who was overwhelmed by the distance and the home’s condition.
He reached out through a mutual friend, and we stepped in to assess the situation. The house had significant deferred maintenance, and the interior was filled with music memorabilia and personal belongings that required a thoughtful approach.
We walked the family through their options—renovating vs. selling as-is—and they chose to move forward with a fast, no-hassle sale. We coordinated directly with their family friend, managed the timeline, and handled the entire process respectfully.
In the end, the family didn’t need to travel or handle any cleanup, and the house received the fresh start it deserved.

I would highly recommend 209Housebuyers.com based on the very positive experience I had recently. My bother owned a house in Stockton which I inherited after his unfortunate death. I live in middle America so I asked a friend of my brother to recommend someone to sell or buy this house. Almost immediately I hired Jon Sump and within a month or so the house was sold. Both the buyer and me were pleased with the results. The buyer was Jon as he is an investor as well as real estate agent. He made the process extremely easy for which I am grateful. I believe him to be a good and honest man with the best interest of his clients always at the forefront. I would not hesitate to contact Jon Sump for your real estate needs.
PROPERTY CASE STUDY #5
This Stockton property had been sitting empty for over three years. The owner had gone through a deeply emotional experience tied to the house and had avoided returning ever since. Over time, the home fell into major disrepair, including extensive water damage and destruction caused by a pet left inside to protect the place.
When the owner finally reached out, he was overwhelmed by the condition and the memories. We met him at the property, walked through it together, and gave him a fair, no-pressure offer based on its current state.
He accepted, and we took it from there—no cleanup, no repairs, no judgment. We handled the process quickly and discreetly, allowing him to move forward without having to revisit the pain tied to the property.
Tim M.
"Recently, Jon bought my Stockton condo. It was beat up and needed a lot of work including water damage that sat for years. I didn’t think anyone would want it. It was a rental that went really bad, and I needed to sell it fast. I was stressed, Jon was cool and calm, and he bought the condo for $15K more than anyone was offering me!! And it closed in 2-weeks!! Thank you Jon!!!!"
