Skip the repairs, contractors, and showings

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

A traditional listing can mean finding contractors, preparing the house, and arranging showings around two schedules. With a direct sale to us, you can discuss the house as it stands without first settling who will handle those jobs.

Who can sign for the San Luis Obispo house?

Start with the recorded deed to see whose names are listed and how ownership is held. California's general community-property rule may also matter: state law generally treats property acquired during marriage while a spouse is domiciled in California as community property, subject to exceptions.

That general rule does not answer who can sign for a particular house. How the property was acquired, the deed, a divorce judgment or agreement, and any court order about the house can affect the sale. The title company reviews the documents and confirms the signatures and closing requirements; a California family-law attorney can explain what an agreement or order means for your situation. You can talk with us while that review is happening.

Bring us the problem before everything is settled

Different schedules, a disagreement about repairs, or difficulty arranging showings? Tell us what is happening. You do not have to resolve every practical disagreement before you start a conversation about the house.

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above.

What happens next

Start with what you know about the house and the situation. You do not need every answer before you call.

  1. 1. Tell us about the house

    Share the San Luis Obispo address, condition, who lives there, access or timing concerns, and anything you know about the deed or court papers.

  2. 2. Review the written offer and terms

    We discuss the house as it stands. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. You can read the written terms before you decide whether to accept.

  3. 3. Confirm title and signing details

    The title company reviews recorded ownership, any court papers that apply to the house, and the documents and signatures needed for closing. A California family-law attorney can explain the legal effect of an agreement or order.

  4. 4. Review the closing figures and sign

    When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate items. Review the settlement figures with the closing team.

    Signing from another location

    You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.

    Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
