The short answer
Share the address, the house's condition and occupancy, and the date that matters. We review it as-is and put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. Compare those terms with a listing plan, including repairs, cleanout, showings, commissions, carrying costs, and the time a listing may take.
Listing can fit when you want to reach retail buyers and can take on preparation and access. Compare repair bids, cleanup, photos, showings, inspection requests, listing costs, commissions, taxes, insurance, utilities, and the time you may carry the house. The asking price is not the amount you keep.
Compare the written price and terms with the work, carrying costs, payoff, taxes, access, occupancy, and title questions that apply to your property. You do not need repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout to sell to us.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Local property facts
The City describes restored Victorian homes and business fronts alongside newer homes in Northgate and Hiddenbrooke. Its historic-district list includes Mare Island, Vallejo Heritage District, St. Vincent's Hill Historic District, and Vallejo Old City District. Those descriptions do not establish a home's age, condition, or district status; check the actual address with the City before planning work.
Vallejo's Building Division and Central Permit Center handle construction, addition, alteration, and remodel permit and inspection questions. The City also lists property-maintenance and vacant-property registration programs. These are routes for a project or actual notice; they do not establish a general inspection or certificate requirement when a house is sold.

Closing questions and deadlines
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Ask the title company to review the recorded ownership and settlement items for the address.
Start with the deed and gather any estate, trust, or court papers. Ask the title company to check recorded owners and identify who must sign for this property. Solano Superior Court publishes a Probate Division route and filing instructions that include filing drop boxes at its Vallejo branch and Fairfield Hall of Justice; that is routing information, not a signer or venue determination for a particular estate. Ask a California attorney if authority is unclear or disputed.

California counties charge documentary transfer tax of $0.55 for each $500 of consideration, or fraction of $500, when consideration is over $100; a lien or loan that stays on the property is not counted. A city may take half of the county rate as its own share, credited against the county tax, while some cities add a larger tax. State law identifies a person who signs or benefits from the deed as responsible, but the purchase agreement can allocate the cost. Ask title or escrow to confirm the taxable amount, any city tax, and allocation for the property.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.

Bring the lease, who lives in the house, access limits, notices already received, and the possession plan you want considered. Solano Superior Court lists a local landlord/tenant advisory route; it does not decide the status of a private lease or notice. Ask a California attorney about the actual agreement or court papers if they affect your plan.

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.
