Questions About Selling a House in Napa, CA

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what work the house needs and what you know about access, occupancy, or timing. Read more about as-is sale options in Napa or questions about repairs, permits, or code issues.

A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations. EZ Sale is often a better fit when a house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. The comparison below lays out the program terms; compare the written numbers and choose what works best for you.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read how the Napa cash-offer process works.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. California counties charge $0.55 for each $500 of taxable value, or fraction of $500, when consideration is over $100; a lien or loan that stays on the property is not counted as consideration. A city may receive a credited share of the county tax, and some cities add a larger tax. The purchase agreement can allocate the cost. Have escrow or the title company confirm the taxable amount, any city rate, and any exemption for the property. This does not pay a mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. See California Revenue and Taxation Code sections 11911, 11912, and 11931. Compare the other costs in the Napa net proceeds calculator.

Often, yes, but the recorded notices and sale date matter. California home loans commonly use a deed of trust, so most foreclosures are nonjudicial: the trustee named in the deed of trust runs the process without a lawsuit. After the trustee records a notice of default, a 90-day cure period comes before a notice of sale can follow. The notice of sale must be posted, published, and recorded at least 20 days before the 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 sale. The trustee may postpone the sale 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 a title company or attorney confirm the current 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. For the California process and deadlines, see California Courts’ nonjudicial foreclosure guide, Civil Code sections 2924c, 2924f, and 2924g, and the California Department of Real Estate’s foreclosure guide.

Yes. You can start with what you know about the house, who is handling the estate, and your timing. What is needed for the sale depends on the property and who has authority to sign. See inherited-property questions in Napa for the next questions to consider.

Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who occupies it, and your timing. A deed, lease, tax notice, payoff statement, lien notice, or court paper may help answer the next question, but you can call before everything is gathered.
