🏠 The Selling Process

How does selling to cash home buyers in Sacramento work?

We buy houses in Sacramento with a simple and straightforward process:

  • Step 1: Fill out our online form or call us at (916) 385-8496 with basic property details
  • Step 2: We'll schedule a quick property assessment (virtual or in-person) in Sacramento
  • Step 3: Receive your fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours
  • Step 4: Choose your closing date - we can close in as little as 7 days
  • Step 5: Get paid in cash at closing with no hidden fees or surprises

What information do you need to make an offer?

To provide you with the most accurate cash offer, we need:

  • Property address and basic details (bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage)
  • Current condition of the home
  • Your preferred timeline for selling
  • How long you've owned the property
  • Your reason for selling (helps us customize our approach)

Don't worry if you don't have all the details - we can work with whatever information you have available.

Do I need to clean out my house before selling?

Absolutely not! One of the biggest advantages of selling to us is convenience.

You can:

  • Take what you want and leave everything else behind
  • Leave furniture, appliances, personal items - we handle removal
  • Skip the stress of cleaning, organizing, or decluttering
  • We've handled everything from fully furnished homes to hoarding situations

We understand that moving can be overwhelming, so we make it as easy as possible for you.

💰 Pricing & Costs

How much will you offer for my Sacramento house?

Our cash offers for Sacramento houses are based on:

  • Current market value in Sacramento and surrounding areas
  • The condition of your Sacramento property
  • Needed repairs and renovations
  • Comparable sales in your Sacramento neighborhood
  • Current Sacramento real estate market conditions
We pride ourselves on making fair, competitive offers to Sacramento homeowners. Our business depends on satisfied sellers, so lowballing isn't in our interest!

Remember: What you see is what you get - no surprise deductions, no hidden fees, no last-minute price changes when we buy your Sacramento house.

Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs?

Zero out-of-pocket costs to you!

We cover all:

  • Closing costs and title fees
  • Transfer taxes and recording fees
  • Attorney and escrow fees
  • Home inspections (if needed)

Unlike traditional sales, there are no:

  • Real estate agent commissions (typically 6%)
  • Repair costs or improvement expenses
  • Staging or marketing costs
  • Holding costs while waiting for a buyer

The offer you accept is the amount you receive at closing (minus any existing liens or mortgages).

Why aren't automated online offers accurate?

Automated online tools can't account for:

  • The actual condition of your home's interior
  • Needed repairs or maintenance issues
  • Recent improvements or renovations
  • Local market nuances and micro-trends
  • Your specific selling situation and timeline

Our offers are based on real research, actual property assessment, and current market conditions - not algorithms that guess from limited data.

We provide transparent, honest offers with no bait-and-switch tactics.

⏰ Timeline & Speed

How quickly can you buy my house in Sacramento?

We can close on your Sacramento house in as little as 7 days!

Our typical timeline for Sacramento home sales:

  • Day 1: You submit your Sacramento property information
  • Day 1-2: We review and assess your Sacramento home
  • Day 2-3: You receive your cash offer
  • Day 3-10: Closing (you choose the date)

However, we're flexible with your timeline. Whether you need to sell your Sacramento house immediately or prefer to wait a few months, we can accommodate your needs.

No waiting for buyer financing, inspections, or appraisals when we buy houses in Sacramento!
Can you really buy my house in one day?

While we can make an offer quickly, a legitimate one-day closing isn't realistic even for cash sales.

Here's why a proper closing takes time:

  • Title search and title insurance requirements
  • Legal document preparation and review
  • Escrow and closing coordination
  • Lien searches and payoff calculations
  • Final property verification

Our fastest realistic closing is 7 days, but we can close faster in emergency situations when all parties work together efficiently.

How does this compare to selling with a real estate agent?

Traditional agent sale timeline: 30-90+ days

  • Property prep and repairs (1-4 weeks)
  • Listing and marketing (ongoing)
  • Showings and negotiations (2-8 weeks)
  • Buyer financing and inspections (3-6 weeks)
  • Closing process (2-4 weeks)

Our cash sale timeline: 7-30 days

  • Property assessment (1-2 days)
  • Offer presentation (1-2 days)
  • Closing process (3-25 days, your choice)

Plus, with us there are no surprises, no deals falling through, and no last-minute complications!

What makes you the best cash home buyers in Sacramento?

As Sacramento's trusted cash home buyers, we stand out through:

  • Local Sacramento expertise: Deep knowledge of Sacramento County real estate markets
  • Fair cash offers: We base offers on real Sacramento market data, not algorithms
  • We buy houses as-is: No repairs needed in any condition
  • Flexibility: We work around your timeline and needs
  • No pressure: Take time to decide - no obligation whatsoever
  • Full service: We handle everything from start to finish

Our business model is simple: make fair offers to Sacramento homeowners, provide excellent service, and build long-term relationships in our community.

Do you actually buy houses or just list them?

We are direct buyers - we purchase your home with our own funds.

The difference:

  • Real estate agents: List your home and wait for other buyers
  • Cash home buyers: We purchase directly using our own capital

We work with a network of investors and use our own funds to purchase homes quickly. After we buy your house, we typically renovate and either resell or hold as rental properties.

However, if listing with an agent might be better for your situation, we'll honestly tell you and can connect you with trusted local agents.

🔧 Property Conditions & Situations

Will you buy my house if it needs major repairs in Sacramento?

Yes! We buy houses in Sacramento that need work and specialize in distressed properties.

We buy Sacramento houses with:

  • Foundation or structural issues
  • Roof damage or leaks
  • Outdated plumbing or electrical systems
  • Fire, flood, or storm damage
  • Mold or environmental concerns
  • Vandalism or neglect
  • Code violations
The more work your Sacramento house needs, the more attractive it is to us! We see potential where others see problems.

You'll often get a higher net amount selling your Sacramento house to us as-is versus spending money on repairs and selling traditionally.

What if my house is in perfect condition?

We buy move-in ready homes too! You might choose us even with a perfect house if you:

  • Need to sell quickly due to job relocation
  • Want to avoid showings and open houses
  • Don't want to deal with agent commissions and fees
  • Need certainty (no deals falling through)
  • Want to avoid repair negotiations with picky buyers
  • Prefer a simple, straightforward transaction

However, if your house is in excellent condition and you're not in a hurry, listing with an agent might get you a higher price. We'll give you honest advice about what's best for your situation.

Do you buy houses in foreclosure or with liens?

Yes, we can often help even in difficult situations:

  • Pre-foreclosure: We can buy before the auction, helping you avoid foreclosure on your credit
  • Tax liens: We can work with existing tax obligations
  • Mechanical liens: We can resolve contractor disputes
  • Bankruptcy situations: We work with attorneys and trustees
  • Probate sales: We handle estate and inheritance situations
  • Divorce settlements: We provide quick resolution for asset division

Each situation is unique, so we'll need to review the specific details to determine if and how we can help.

Time-sensitive situation? Call us immediately - we often have solutions even when others can't help.
