We should say up front that we're Pacific Home Buyers, another cash buyer in Sacramento. Everything below comes from Google, the BBB and the state license lookup, and you can check all of it yourself. Where we think we do things differently, we say so.
What do Bobby Buys Homes reviews say?
Mostly that the staff were helpful and the process was easy. Google groups the phrases reviewers repeat, and those two are far ahead of everything else.
Number of reviews mentioning each topic, as grouped by Google. Checked October 31, 2026.
The most detailed recent review is from August 2026. Two sisters sold a family house that had been empty for years and was in bad shape. They wrote that the first cash offer was fair, the price didn't drop later, and the closing went quickly.
Not every reviewer sold a house to the company, though. Bobby Buys Homes also sells houses, and two of its four newest five-star reviews came from real estate agents who did a deal with the team. Those agents liked working with them, which is good to know, but it isn't the same as selling them your home.
The newest review was one star
It went up on October 29, 2026. The writer said the phone rang for about two minutes with no answer, so they called another buyer. When someone from Bobby's team called back later, the questions felt too personal, and they went with the other company. As of October 31 the business hadn't replied.
One review out of 108 doesn't sum up a company. Still, it's about the first thing most sellers notice, which is whether anyone picks up. Google lists the Bobby Buys Homes office hours as Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, and closed on weekends.
We built our process around that first call. We call back within minutes, from 8am to 8pm, Saturdays and Sundays too.
Bobby Buys Homes complaints and BBB rating
The BBB gives Bobby Buys Homes an A+. The company has been accredited since March 20, 2025, and the BBB has the business starting in May 2015. It's an LLC that also uses the name BJP Properties, LLC, and Robert Peterson is listed as CEO.
There's one complaint from the last three years, filed in June 2026. A homeowner kept getting mailers asking them to sell, even after calling to be taken off the list. The company replied a week later that the mailing had probably gone out already and that the owner's details were now removed. The BBB marks it as answered. You can look up any company on the Better Business Bureau site.
Is Bobby Buys Homes licensed?
Yes. The California Department of Real Estate shows Robert James Peterson with an active salesperson license, number 01975523. It was first issued on May 14, 2015 and runs through May 2027. His responsible broker is South Hall Investors, Inc., at the same Truxel Road address as the company office, and the record shows no disciplinary action.
The company's website says Bobby grew up in Sacramento, studied business at Chico State and worked as an agent at Keller Williams Natomas before he started Bobby Buys Homes in 2015.
The buyer named on your contract may be an LLC rather than the brand you saw on TV. That's normal, but ask who it will be and look the company up before you sign.

Good reviews don't tell you your price
Reviews are a fair way to see whether a buyer closes deals and treats people decently, and Bobby's mostly say yes. They can't tell you what that company, or any other, will pay for your house. Only a written offer does, and getting a second one takes about ten minutes.
So here's our pitch. Pacific Home Buyers is a local, family-run Christian team, and we've been buying houses in Northern California for over 25 years. Here's what happens when you send us your address:
- We call you back within minutes, between 8am and 8pm, seven days a week.
- You get a written cash offer within 24 hours, with the math laid out: what the house would sell for fixed up, what the repairs cost, and our margin.
- We pay all the closing costs. There are no commissions or fees.
- You pick the closing date: 7, 21 or 60 days.
- Leave anything you don't want. We donate what's left to local charities.
Get your second offer today
Fill out the short form. Someone from our Sacramento team calls you back within minutes during office hours, Saturday and Sunday too, and your written offer follows within 24 hours. You're free to say no.
How to read reviews of any cash home buyer
- Sort by newest. The last six months tell you more than a company's best year.
- Check who wrote each review. A homeowner who sold is different from an agent or an investor who bought.
- Read the one- to three-star reviews and see whether the company replied.
- Check BBB complaints, not just the letter grade.
- Look up licenses: real estate on the DRE license lookup, contractors on the CSLB license check.
- Match names. The buyer named on the contract should be a company you can find in the California Secretary of State business search.
