Our Approach
Built on Relationships
We treat every situation with care, taking the time to understand your needs and find the right path forward.
Why Choose Us
Simple and honest
No pressure. No confusion. Just clear communication, fair offers, and a team that follows through.
How It Works
A simple, straightforward way to sell your home.
We keep things clear, honest, and easy to follow so you always know what to expect.
STEP 01
Start With Your Situation. Not Just Your House.
We’ll ask a few questions to understand what’s going on, what matters to you, and what you’re trying to solve. No pressure. No assumptions. Just a real conversation.
STEP 02
Get Clear on your Options — Together.
After that first conversation, we’ll decide together if it makes sense to take the next step. If it does, we’ll schedule a time to see the property and walk through your options in more detail.
STEP 03
If It’s a Fit, We Make an Offer.
After seeing the property and understanding everything more clearly, we’ll put together a simple, transparent offer. No pressure. And if it doesn’t make sense for you—or for us—we’ll tell you that too.
STEP 04
Move Forward on Your Terms.
You decide what happens next. Move forward with us, take more time, or go a different route—we’ll support whatever feels right for you.
When Does This Make Sense?
Not every situation calls for selling this way. But for the right circumstances, it can be a huge relief.
This might be a good fit if you’re dealing with:
An inherited property you’re not sure what to do with
A rental you’re tired of managing
Major repairs or updates you don’t want to take on
A need to sell quickly without the usual delays
A life transition like a move, divorce, or job change
A property that just feels overwhelming right now
And if none of these apply? That’s okay too. We’ll help you figure out what actually makes the most sense.
For Realtors
A partner you can trust with your clients.
We work alongside agents to provide solutions when listings aren’t the right fit. You stay involved, your clients are taken care of, and we pay commissions on referred deals.

About Us
We’re Derek & Brooke Harms
A local San Diego family you can actually talk to.
We live and work right here in Point Loma, and this business was built on something pretty simple: treating people the way we’d want to be treated if we were in their shoes.
Harms Buys Homes isn’t about pushing people into a sale. It’s about helping you figure out what actually makes the most sense for your situation — even if that means we’re not the right fit.
Alongside us is a small, trusted team, including Drew and Laurence, who share the same approach. No scripts, no pressure — just real conversations and straightforward help when you need it.
