Bay Design + Remodel
& Sell Quick California

Our core focus goes far beyond traditional brokerage—we are a vertically integrated real estate group centered on acquiring, renovating, and developing residential properties throughout the Bay Area.

Through Sell Quick California, we specialize in purchasing homes directly from sellers, including off-market and distressed opportunities.

Our in-house construction company, Bay Design + Remodel, handles full-scale renovations, delivering high-quality, design-driven transformations that maximize property value.

On the brokerage side, Investly supports the process by partnering with agents, often giving them the opportunity to represent us on both the acquisition and resale of our projects.

While we are licensed real estate professionals, our primary focus is as active buyers and developers, creating win-win opportunities for agents who bring us deals and want to be part of the full lifecycle—from purchase to beautifully finished resale.

    Partner With Us & Earn Both Sides of the Deal

    Represent us on the purchase and get the listing back after renovation

    Our program is designed to create a true partnership with real estate agents by offering more than just a one-time transaction. When agents bring us off-market or value-add opportunities, they have the ability to represent us on the purchase and earn a full buy-side commission. What makes our model unique is that the relationship doesn’t end there—we typically invite the same agent to relist the property after our renovation is complete, giving them a second opportunity to earn commission on the resale. With our in-house construction team, Bay Design + Remodel, handling high-quality transformations, agents are able to bring a fully upgraded, market-ready home back to their buyers, often achieving stronger sales prices and faster results. This approach allows agents to maximize their income, strengthen client relationships, and build long-term repeat business while partnering with a reliable buyer and developer.

    General Questions

    What does Marc Afzal specialize in?

    I specialize in acquiring, renovating, and developing residential properties throughout Walnut Creek and the greater Bay Area. While we are licensed real estate professionals, our primary focus is on buying homes, adding value through renovation, and reselling for top market value. On occasion per referral we do help home buyers and sellers with over 23+ years in the industry.

    How can real estate agents work with you?

    We actively partner with agents who bring us off-market or value-add opportunities. Agents can represent us on the purchase and are typically invited to relist the property after renovation, creating multiple commission opportunities.

    Do you work with off-market properties?

    Yes—off-market and pocket listings are our primary focus. We rely heavily on agent relationships to source deals that aren’t publicly listed.

    What types of properties are you looking to buy?

    We look for fixers, outdated homes, probate sales, distressed properties, and homes with value-add potential in Walnut Creek and surrounding Bay Area cities.

    What makes you different from other investors?

    We are a fully integrated team with in-house construction through Bay Design + Remodel, allowing us to execute high-quality renovations efficiently. We also prioritize long-term relationships with agents, not one-off transactions.

    Do agents get paid commission when working with you?

    Yes—agents are paid full commissions on the buy side, and we often give them the opportunity to list the property after renovation, allowing for two sides of commission.

    Can I represent you on both the purchase and resale?

    Absolutely. We encourage agents to stay involved through the full lifecycle of the deal—from acquisition to resale—so they can maximize their earnings.

    How quickly can you close on a property?

    We can typically close in 10–14 days, often with no contingencies, depending on the deal.

    Do you require inspections or contingencies?

    In many cases, we purchase properties as-is with minimal or no contingencies, making the process smoother for sellers and agents.

    What price range do you typically buy in?

    We purchase homes across a wide range, often up to $2M+ depending on the location and opportunity.

    What areas do you focus on?

    Our primary focus is Walnut Creek, but we actively invest throughout Contra Costa County and the broader Bay Area, including Napa, Solano, and Alameda counties.

    Who handles the renovations?

    All renovations are handled by our licensed contractor, Bay Design + Remodel, ensuring quality control and high-end finishes.

    What level of renovations do you typically complete?

    We specialize in full-scale remodels, including kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, layout changes, and complete interior and exterior upgrades.

    How do your remodels benefit agents?

    Our renovations are designed to maximize resale value, helping agents list a fully transformed, market-ready home that attracts strong buyer demand and higher sale prices.

    Do you help agents build their business?

    Yes—we aim to build long-term partnerships by providing repeat opportunities, co-marketing listings, and helping agents grow their presence through high-quality resale properties.

    What types of sellers do you typically work with?

    We work with homeowners facing situations like probate, foreclosure, relocation, inherited properties, or homes in need of major repairs.

    Why should I bring you my off-market deals?

    We are a reliable buyer who can close quickly, minimize hassle, and provide agents with repeat business and multiple commission opportunities.

    Do you list your finished properties on the MLS?

    Yes—after renovation, we list properties on the open market, often partnering with the agent who brought us the deal.

    Can you help buyers and sellers outside of investment properties?

    Yes—through Investly, we also help traditional buyers and sellers navigate the Walnut Creek and Bay Area markets with expert guidance and local knowledge.

    How do I get started working with you?

    Simply reach out with your deal or client situation. We’re always looking to build new agent relationships and evaluate new opportunities.
