I buy houses in the South Bay and bring them back to life.
I'm Ryan LaRocca. LRG Homes is a small San Jose company: me, and the crews I've worked with for years. If you got a letter from me, this is who you'd be dealing with.
Look me up on Google. The reviews on this page are on our Google listing — read them there, not here.
Call the number on your letter. Each mailing has its own number so I know which letter you got; they all reach me. Or the website line, (650) 670-3914.
Ask me anything first. No hard sell. Most people who call just want to know what their options are.
The work
Four houses, four stories.
Every house I buy has a person behind it. These are recent ones — in the sellers' own words where they've shared them.
Estate sale · Blossom Valley, San Jose · Closed October 2026
A family's estate, settled from out of state
Rob and Diana live a long way from San Jose. They'd inherited a 1971 three-bedroom in Blossom Valley that needed updating, and they didn't want to run a remodel and a listing from a thousand miles away.
We agreed on a price, I did my inspection quickly, the paperwork went over by DocuSign, and we opened escrow at Chicago Title. I called them most weeks until we closed on October 1st. Then my crew gave the house a light refresh — floors, paint, a cleaned-up yard — and it went on the market.

“We sold an estate home in San Jose to LRG Homes that needed some updating and remodeling. Once we negotiated the price, Ryan moved quickly to complete the inspection. Amanda promptly emailed us the DocuSign purchase offer and set up escrow with Chicago Title. Ryan communicated almost weekly to keep us informed of the closing timing. He was certainly professional and personable to work with. We are from out of state, and would recommend using and trusting Ryan and his team with LRG Homes, LLC.”
As-is sale · East San Jose foothills · Bought January 2026, sold October 2026
Bill's house in the foothills
Bill wanted a straightforward, as-is sale with no games, and that's what he got: we agreed on terms, I closed, and he moved on with his life.
Then we did the full remodel this house deserved — new kitchen, new bathrooms, floors, lighting, the arched entry brought back — all permitted. It sold to its new owners in October.

“Ryan Larocca of LRG Homes purchased my home in San Jose. In my experience Ryan was straight forward and honest. He did not play games. We agreed on a fast, as-is transaction and Ryan executed his side smoothly and as agreed. I found Ryan to be a pleasure to work with. I would do business with him again.”
Family trust sale · Berryessa, San Jose · Bought 2024, sold 2025
Limewood: their mother's house, rebuilt
This was a family home, held in their mother's trust. Mark and his brother wanted it sold quickly and as-is, without fixing anything first. We wrote the offer, the trust's attorney reviewed it, and we closed in under a month.
Then the house got everything it needed: foundation and pier repair, a new electrical panel, new windows, a new kitchen, both bathrooms redone, new floors, a rebuilt staircase, and fresh paint inside and out, all permitted and inspected by the City of San Jose. When it was finished, Mark sent me this.

A buyer that fell through · West San Jose · Closed October 2026
The house on Quito Road
The seller had his house tied up for weeks with a buyer who, in the end, couldn't perform. Once that contract was cancelled, we wrote him a clean offer and closed on the exact date written in it — no renegotiation at the finish line.
The refresh took under two weeks: new floors, paint, the old wood paneling gone. It's on the market now.

“Ryan helped our family with the sale of two of our investment properties. We had inherited some homes through our family trust and Ryan was able to step in and help us sell the properties. The first home was a townhome we owned in Los Gatos and the second was a single family home in west San Jose. The process was seamless and we received multiple offers on both of our properties. We sold both for top dollar. Great experience for us. Highly recommend.”

Who you're dealing with
Local, hands-on, and not going anywhere.
I grew up in San Jose. I went to trade school and spent my first working years in commercial HVAC, which is where I learned how buildings actually go together — and what it costs when they don't. In 2014 I got into real estate, working as an agent with Keller Williams and then Intero, and in 2017 I bought my first investment property. Since then LRG Homes has been my full-time work: buying houses that need help, fixing them properly, and selling them to families.
I keep the operation small on purpose. When you call, you get me. When we agree on a number, that's the number.
Fixers, estates, tenant-occupied, any condition. A written offer within a day of seeing it; you represent your client and get paid as on any other sale.
