From the first conversation to settlement
The Yuba City sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Call or use the form with the property address and the details you have. We ask about condition, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. You can start before every answer is settled.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We discuss what the house needs, how it is occupied, and any payoff, lien, tax, estate, or title questions that may affect a sale. We review it as-is and explain the available written sale options so you can compare them with listing or another choice.
3. Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding.
4. Let the title company check title and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for settlement. Keep statements, notices, and estate papers that apply to the house handy; the title company confirms what is needed for this transaction.
5. Review the settlement sheet
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. 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.
6. Decide, sign, and close
You decide whether to proceed after reviewing the written terms and settlement figures. If you proceed, sign the final papers through the title company and receive your money through that company's instructions.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
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.

Local records for Yuba City sellers
Start recorded-property questions with Sutter County
Yuba City is in Sutter County. For recorded property documents, start with the Sutter County Clerk-Recorder ↗. A record search can help locate documents; the title company checks which records affect this sale and what must be resolved for closing. If you have a notice, payoff statement, or estate paperwork, you can share what is available while the remaining questions are sorted out.
Before the signatures
Review the settlement figures and transfer tax
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, property-tax amounts, closing charges, and the amount scheduled for you. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
California's county documentary transfer tax is $0.55 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500, when consideration is over $100. A lien or loan that stays on the property after the sale is not included in that consideration. The county rate equals $1.10 per $1,000. A city may take half of that rate as its own share, credited against the county tax; some cities add a larger transfer tax on top. The county recorder collects the tax when the deed is recorded. State law identifies a person who signs or benefits from the deed as responsible, while the purchase agreement can allocate the cost between buyer and seller; some transfers are exempt. Ask the title company or escrow to confirm the property's county, any city tax, the taxable amount, and any exemption.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
When the process gets difficult
We stay with the process
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
