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.

There is no one number for every house. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with the costs that come out before you keep the proceeds: repairs, commissions, cleanout, utilities, insurance, taxes, mortgage payoff, liens, and the time you carry the house. Change the calculator assumptions to fit the Riverside property instead of relying on a headline price.

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 value, or fraction of $500, when taxable consideration exceeds $100; a lien or loan that stays on the property after the sale is not counted toward that threshold. A city may receive a credited share of the county tax, and some cities add their own tax. Have the title company or escrow confirm the taxable amount and any city tax for the property. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Yes. Start with the address, what you know about the house and who occupies it, and the timing or question on your mind. A deed, lease, estate paper, payoff record, lien notice, or sale notice may help answer the next question, but you can call before everything is gathered.

A tenant-occupied house is something you can ask us about. Share the lease or occupancy details, access limits, notices you have, and your timing so those facts can be considered in the property review and written terms.

Yes. You can start with the property and the papers you have. Before closing, the title company needs to confirm the recorded ownership and who has authority to sign from the actual deed and estate or court records.

Often, yes, if there is time to complete the title work, confirm the payoff, and close before the sale. 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, followed by a 90-day cure period. A notice of sale can follow; it must be posted, published, and recorded at least 20 days before the trustee’s sale, a public auction. You can usually reinstate by catching up until five business days before the sale, or 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 one-to-four-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.

A house with recorded liens or delinquent taxes can be discussed, but a sale does not by itself settle every balance. Share any notices or payoff information you have; the title company and closing professionals confirm the amounts and settlement treatment for the property. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from our closing-cost promise.

For a copy of a deed or another recorded land document, start with the Riverside County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder’s recording services. A document search does not determine whether a court judgment affects title; ask the title company about the records and payoffs that apply to your sale.
