How it works
How selling to us works
No listing, no showings, no repairs. Here is exactly what happens from your first call to closing day.
Tell us about it
Fill out the form or call 916-720-0007. A few details about the property and your timeline is all we need.
Get a cash offer in 3 hours
Within 3 hours of getting your property details, we give you a fair cash offer and walk you through how we got the number. No pressure.
Close and get paid
Pick your closing date. We close through a local title company, pay the closing costs, and you walk away with cash.
What happens at each step
1. Your first call. We ask about the property, its condition, what you owe and when you want to move. It takes about 10 minutes.
2. One visit. We set up a time to see the property. There is no need to clean or fix anything first.
3. Your offer. Within 3 hours of getting your property details, we give you a written cash offer and show you how we got the number: what similar homes have sold for, and what the repairs will cost.
4. Open escrow. If you accept, we sign a simple purchase agreement and open escrow with a local title company. They make sure the title is clear.
5. Closing day. You sign at the title company or with a mobile notary. The title company pays off any loans and sends the rest of the money to you.
What you will not pay
- Agent commissions
- Closing costs
- Moving headaches. We help you plan the move
- Repairs, cleaning or cleanout
- Inspection or appraisal fees
