We buy land and homes with redevelopment potential in Phoenix and Scottsdale.
Own a vacant lot, an older home, or a property that needs work? Tell us about it. We'll review the property and give you a straightforward offer, with no obligation to accept.
What we buy
Three kinds of property, one kind of buyer
We're a principal buyer, not a wholesaler shopping your contract around. If we quote a number, we're the one bringing the money to closing.
Lots & raw land
Homes, any condition
Entitled & assembled sites
How we price it
Your property has two values. We pay from the higher one.
The first value is the one every cash buyer works from: what the home would sell for fixed up, minus a repair budget and a margin. That math is fine as far as it goes, but it charges you for every year the roof got older.
The second is what the property could become — a full remodel, a new home, or two where there's room for two. That depends on the land: size and shape, what's allowed there, whether it can be split, irrigation, views, and what finished homes on the street actually sell for.
We run both numbers and make our offer from whichever is higher. On an oversized, irrigated or split-eligible lot it's usually the second one, which is how we end up paying more than a buyer who only ever looks at the house.
Our buy box
What we'll look at
- Property type
- Vacant lots and land, single-family homes, and small assemblages of adjacent parcels.
- Condition
- Any. Move-in ready, dated, mid-project, or uninhabitable — we plan the work and pay for it.
- Where
- Phoenix and Scottsdale, concentrated in our five corridors. We'll look anywhere in the valley.
- Lot size
- No minimum. Oversized, irrigated and split-eligible parcels are where we compete hardest.
- Situation
- Inherited property, estates and probate, out-of-state owners, tired rentals, sales that fell through.
- What we don't need
- Repairs, cleanout, staging, showings, inspections or an agent on your side of the table.
Outside the box on one line? Send it anyway. We'd rather tell you no in a day than have you wonder.
What we do
Acquisitions, remodel and development
Five parts of one business. Which one your property belongs in is most of what we work out before we make an offer.
Acquisitions
Buying direct from owners with our own capital — lots, land and homes, no listing and no middleman.
Remodel
Plenty of what we buy is worth keeping and renovating. When that's the higher and better use, that's what we do.
Development
Lot splits, infill and new construction on parcels that support more than what's standing today.
Real estate
Pedro is a licensed Arizona agent, so when listing your property is genuinely the better outcome, he'll tell you.
Auctions
We buy and sell at auction, which is part of why a five-day close is a real option here and not a slogan.
Where we buy
Five corridors we know parcel by parcel
These aren't marketing radiuses. They're the submarkets whose zoning, lot patterns and rebuild values we can speak to without looking anything up.

Ask about your parcelHow it works
Three steps, no showings, no surprises
- 01
Tell us about the parcel
Address or APN is enough to start. We pull zoning, lot dimensions, split potential and comparable rebuilds before we ever call you back.
- 02
Get a written offer in 24 hours
A real number with the reasoning behind it — what the lot supports, what it will cost to build, and what that leaves for you. No obligation.
- 03
Close on your date
As fast as five days, or months out if that's better for you. We pay cash, cover standard closing costs, and buy strictly as-is.
Work with us
Two other ways people do business with Hernandez Homes
Builders & developers
We control lots that never reach the MLS. Tell us your buy box — area, lot size, price band, entitlement appetite — and we'll send matches first, including sites we've already run zoning and feasibility on.
Private investors
Deal flow has outrun our own capital. We partner with a small number of private investors on individual projects — secured positions and equity participation, on real dirt in neighborhoods you can drive to.
Sellers
What owners say afterward
“Pedro looked at the lot, not the house. He gave me a number in a day and never moved off it. I didn't fix a thing.”
“Straightforward the whole way. No agent, no showings, no strangers walking through. We closed on the date I picked.”
“I'd talked to two other buyers who kept renegotiating. Pedro's offer was the offer. That's why we closed with him.”
Principal buyer
Our own capital. Your contract is never shopped to a third party.
Offers that hold
We do the zoning work up front so we don't renegotiate later.
Local, parcel-level knowledge
Five corridors, studied street by street — not a national buy box.
No cost, no obligation
