Real Sellers. Real Stories.
Homeowners across Fresno and the Central Valley share their experience selling to Alder Heritage Homes — foreclosure, inheritance, divorce, fire damage, and more.
"My mother passed and left us a home in south Fresno that needed a lot of work. We live in Sacramento and couldn't manage a renovation from two hours away. Connor gave us a fair cash offer within 24 hours, handled all the paperwork, and we closed in 12 days. He was honest about what the home was worth and never pressured us. I would recommend him to anyone dealing with an inherited property."
"We were 4 months behind on our mortgage and had received a Notice of Default. We thought we had no options. Connor called us back within an hour, explained exactly what our options were, and made us a cash offer that paid off our mortgage and put money in our pocket. We closed 10 days before the foreclosure auction. He saved our credit and our sanity."
"Going through a divorce is hard enough without trying to coordinate a home sale with someone you're no longer on good terms with. Connor worked with both of us separately, was completely neutral, and got the deal done without drama. The process was clean and professional. We closed in 18 days and both walked away satisfied."
"I was moving to be closer to my grandchildren in Arizona and needed to sell quickly. I didn't want to deal with open houses, strangers walking through my home, or waiting months for a buyer. Connor made the process completely painless. He was respectful of my timeline, gave me a fair offer, and I was in Arizona within 3 weeks of calling him."
"We had a kitchen fire that caused significant damage. Our insurance settlement didn't cover the full cost of repairs, and we couldn't afford to fix it ourselves. Every agent we called said they couldn't list it in that condition. Connor came out the same day, gave us a straightforward cash offer, and we closed in 14 days. No games, no lowballing — just a fair price for what the home was worth as-is."
"I was a year behind on my mortgage after a medical emergency wiped out my savings. I was too embarrassed to call anyone. A friend told me about Connor and I finally reached out. He was completely non-judgmental, explained everything clearly, and helped me understand exactly what would happen at each step. We closed in 9 days and I was able to pay off my mortgage and start fresh."
"I had a rental property in central Fresno with tenants who had stopped paying rent. The eviction process was dragging on and I was losing money every month. Connor bought the property with the tenants still in place — I didn't have to wait for the eviction to complete. He handled everything after closing. It was the cleanest exit I could have asked for."
"Our home had significant foundation problems that a structural engineer estimated would cost $45,000 to repair. No conventional buyer could get financing on it. We thought we were stuck. Connor came out, assessed the situation honestly, and made us an offer that reflected the real cost of repairs — not a lowball. We closed in 16 days and moved on with our lives."
The Clovis Inherited Murder Home
One of the most difficult transactions we've ever handled — and the one we're most proud of.



A mother inherited her daughter's home in Clovis after her daughter was murdered by her husband. The murderer's mother had been living in the home as a squatter for over two years. The seller had not been able to bring herself to visit the property — not once.
Connor and his team suited up in full hazmat gear to enter the property for the first time. There was no water, no sewer service, and the home was filled with years of accumulated debris. They handled the squatter eviction, the hazmat remediation, and a complete renovation — all without the seller ever having to step foot inside.
The seller saw the finished, renovated home for the first time on the day of closing. The photos above were taken that day. She received $200,000 cash and was able to move forward with her life.
"I never had to see it the way it was. Connor handled everything. I just had to sign and show up to closing."— The Seller, Clovis CA
