Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers

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.

Yuba City seller questions, answered

Can I sell a Yuba City house that needs repairs or cleanout?

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 or occupancy. For more on local sale options, see the Yuba City Seller Guide 2026.

How soon can I get a written offer, and what do I see before deciding?

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

How can I compare what I would keep from each sale option?

Compare what remains after the costs of each path, not only the sale price. You can change repair, cleanout, monthly-cost, and closing-cost assumptions in the calculator. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition. Open the Yuba City net proceeds calculator.

Who pays California documentary transfer tax and other closing costs?

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 recorder collects the tax when the deed is recorded, and the purchase agreement can allocate the cost. Have escrow or the title company confirm the tax base, any city rate, and any exemption for the property. This does not pay your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. See California Revenue and Taxation Code sections 11911, 11912, and 11931.

Can I sell if a California foreclosure is underway?

Often, yes, but the recorded notices and sale date matter. Most California home-loan foreclosures are nonjudicial, meaning a 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, or pay off the loan up to the sale itself. There is no right of redemption after a nonjudicial trustee sale. 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 state 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. For Yuba City sale questions, see foreclosure options in Yuba City.

Can I ask about an inherited house before all the papers are gathered?

Yes. You can call with the property address and what you know about the house or timing; you do not need every paper gathered to start a conversation. For the local situation, see inherited-property questions in Yuba City.

Can you review a tenant-occupied Yuba City house?

We can review tenant-occupied properties. Tell us the lease status, access limits, rent situation, and any notices already involved. We do not tell owners to ignore a lease, court, or title process. See tenant-occupied property options for more.

Start with a question

You can call before everything is figured out

You do not need every paper gathered to ask a question. Start with the Yuba City property address and what you know about its condition, who is living there, and your timing. If you are not sure what matters yet, say that.

Call 888-274-5006.

Need a Sutter County property-record starting point?

For recorded property documents, start with the Sutter County Clerk-Recorder's real property records page. Use the office records for the question they address; a record is not a property-specific title or payoff determination.
