Sell Your House Fast in San Jose, CA — Cash Offer in 24 Hours

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Compare the written price and terms with the work and costs that affect what you keep: repairs, cleanout, showings, commissions, concessions, taxes, insurance, utilities, mortgage payments, and the time you carry the house. A house ready to show may suit a listing; repairs, occupancy, ownership questions, or a deadline may make a direct as-is option worth comparing before you start that work.

A Cash Offer is a direct purchase by USA Home Buyers, with a 30-days-or-less program term and a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, with a 60-days-or-less program term and a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both have no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Compare the written numbers and choose what works best for you.

The City incorporated-area geometry overlaps both Santa Clara and Alameda County polygons, while the separate Census San Jose place geometry overlaps Santa Clara County only. The official city-level layers disagree at a small edge; neither comparison determines a particular parcel’s county. Check the parcel and title records for the address.

Can you still sell your California house in foreclosure? Often, yes. California home loans commonly use a deed of trust, so most foreclosures are nonjudicial: there is no lawsuit, and the trustee named in the deed of trust runs the process. The trustee records a notice of default. After a 90-day cure period, a notice of sale can follow; it must be posted, published and recorded at least 20 days before the sale. The sale is a public auction called a trustee’s sale. You can usually reinstate by catching up until five business days before the sale, and pay off the loan up to the sale itself. There is no right of redemption after a nonjudicial trustee’s sale. A sale can be postponed by the trustee, at the lender’s instruction or by agreement; for 1–4 unit homes, state law also allows limited 45-day postponements tied to a broker listing and a qualifying purchase agreement. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the sale date and payoff. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Counties charge a documentary transfer tax of $0.55 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500, which is $1.10 per $1,000. It applies when consideration is over $100, not counting any lien or loan that stays on the property after the sale. A city may take half of that rate as its own share, credited against the county tax, so the combined rate usually stays at $1.10 per $1,000. Some cities add a larger transfer tax on top. The county recorder collects the tax when the deed is recorded. State law assigns responsibility to a person who signs or benefits from the deed, while the purchase agreement can allocate the cost. Some transfers are exempt. Have the title company or escrow confirm the property’s county, any city tax, and the taxable amount. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

We can review an occupied house. Share who lives there, the lease or occupancy details you have, access limits, and any notices or dates already involved. A sale review does not decide tenant rights or change a legal deadline; ask a California attorney about the lease or notice when it affects your plan.

The title company reviews recorded ownership and any documents that authorize someone to act for an owner. Share the deed and any trust, probate, or court papers that apply, then ask the title company who must sign. For advice about legal authority in your situation, speak with a California attorney.
