Yes, absolutely. California law allows homeowners to sell property in any condition. You are not required to make any repairs before selling. However, you must disclose all known material defects to the buyer. Selling as-is is often the fastest and most cost-effective option, especially if the property needs significant work. Sell As Is specializes in buying houses in any condition, with no repairs required on your part.

No. When you sell to a professional cash buyer like Sell As Is, you don't need to clean, repair, or even stage your home. We buy properties in exactly the condition they're in—whether they're cluttered, damaged, or haven't been updated in decades. This saves you thousands of dollars and weeks of work.

We typically provide a no‑obligation cash offer within 24 hours of receiving your property information. In many cases, we can even provide an offer the same day. Just fill out our short form or give us a call at 916-896-5605.

We can close in as little as 14 days from the day you accept our offer. If you need to close even faster, we can sometimes accommodate a shorter timeline. Alternatively, if you need more time to plan your move, we can schedule closing for a later date that works for you. The timeline is completely flexible.

Absolutely not. There are zero realtor commissions, no hidden fees, and we cover all standard closing costs. The price we offer is the cash you receive at closing. No deductions, no surprises.

The fastest way is to sell directly to a reputable cash home buyer like Sell As Is. Traditional home sales through an agent take an average of 3‑6 months and require showings, repairs, and negotiations. A direct cash sale can close in as little as two weeks with no hassle.

An 'as-is' sale means the seller will not make any repairs or improvements to the property. The buyer accepts the property in its current condition. However, California law still requires sellers to disclose known material defects. Even in an as-is sale, you must complete disclosures.

Yes, California law requires sellers to complete certain disclosures, such as the Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) and Natural Hazard Disclosure, even in as-is sales. However, when you sell to us, we'll provide the necessary forms and guide you through filling them out accurately. We're here to make it easy.

Yes. We specialize in buying houses in any condition, including those with fire damage, water damage, mold, foundation issues, or any other major problems. You don't need to file an insurance claim or make any repairs. We'll give you a fair cash offer based on the as-is value.

No problem. Many homes in California have unpermitted additions or code violations. We buy them as-is, and you don't need to worry about bringing them up to code. We'll handle any issues with the city or county after the sale. This is a common situation we deal with every day.

We can still buy the house, but the presence of non-paying tenants can affect the offer price and the timeline. We may need to work with you on a plan to handle the tenants before or after closing. In some cases, we can close quickly and deal with the eviction process ourselves. Call us to discuss your specific situation.

Yes. Selling for cash is often the best way to stop foreclosure and protect your credit. We can close quickly, often before the trustee sale date.

Yes, we routinely buy properties with tax liens, contractor liens, HOA liens, or other judgments. At closing, we'll work with our title company to pay off those debts from the sale proceeds, so you walk away free and clear. The amount you receive will be the sale price minus the payoff amounts.

This is called being underwater or having negative equity. In some cases, we may still be able to help through a short sale, where the lender agrees to accept less than the full payoff. We have experience negotiating short sales with lenders and can guide you through the process. Contact us to discuss your specific numbers.

Yes. If you or a loved one has a reverse mortgage and need to sell, we can help. The reverse mortgage payoff will come from the sale proceeds. We can work with the lender to ensure a smooth transaction.

The remaining lease obligations or loan balances will be factored into the offer, and we'll coordinate with the lienholder to ensure everything is cleared at closing.

Maybe. If you're in Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, selling requires court approval and coordination with the trustee. We have experience working with bankruptcy trustees and can help structure a sale that benefits your case. Consult with your bankruptcy attorney first.

Selling for cash is a standard real estate transaction and has the same tax implications as any sale. You may owe capital gains tax if the property has appreciated significantly. Consult with a tax professional for your specific situation. We can't provide tax advice.

Yes, we regularly buy occupied rental properties. Selling with tenants is possible, but there are specific considerations under California landlord-tenant law. We'll work with you to understand your lease terms and the rights of your tenants. In many cases, we can close quickly while respecting tenant rights, or we can coordinate with you on timing. Call us to discuss your specific situation.

We can still buy the house, but the presence of non-paying tenants can affect the offer price and the timeline. We may need to work with you on a plan to handle the tenants before or after closing. In some cases, we can close quickly and deal with the eviction process ourselves. Call us to discuss your specific situation.

Squatters complicate a sale, but we may still be able to buy the property. The timeline and offer price will depend on the specific circumstances. We'll need to work with you and possibly legal counsel to resolve the situation before or after closing. Call us to discuss.

Absolutely. Inherited properties often need repairs, have uncertain ownership, or are located far from the heirs. We make the process simple: we buy the property as-is, handle all paperwork, and you receive cash. We can also help navigate probate if needed. Many of our clients are heirs who want a quick, fair sale without the burden of managing an inherited home.

Yes, but the sale may need to go through probate. The court will need to approve the sale. We have experience with probate sales and can work with the executor or administrator to navigate the process. It may take a bit longer, but we can still close.

Yes. If the property is held in a trust and the trustee is authorized to sell, we can buy it. We'll need to review the trust documents to ensure proper authorization. Many inherited homes are in trusts, and we handle these regularly.

Sell As Is is a real estate investment company, not a real estate brokerage. We are not licensed real estate agents or brokers.

Our partners are fully licensed and insured, giving you peace of mind.

Sell As Is is a family-owned, California-focused company with over 13 years of experience. We're not a national hedge fund—we're real people who care about helping homeowners in difficult situations. Our offers are fair, our process is transparent, and we have hundreds of satisfied clients. We also cover all closing costs and never charge fees. We're here to help, not to take advantage.

Our offers are based on the after‑repair value of your home, minus our estimated repair costs and a fair profit margin. We look at recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, the condition of your home, and current market trends. The offer is transparent and you are under no obligation to accept.

We strive to make our initial offer fair and competitive. However, if you have a specific number in mind or have received another offer, please let us know. We're always open to a conversation to see if we can meet your needs.

Once you accept, we'll order a title search to ensure there are no surprises, schedule a closing date that works for you (usually within 14 days), and handle all the paperwork. You'll receive a closing statement showing the final cash amount, and at closing, you'll get your money. It's that simple.

In most cases, yes, you or your authorized representative (like a power of attorney) will need to sign closing documents. However, if you're out of state, we can often arrange remote signing or work with a notary near you. Just let us know your situation.

We typically make an initial offer based on information you provide and sometimes exterior photos. Before closing, we will need to do an interior walkthrough to confirm condition. This is standard practice to ensure our offer still reflects the property's state.

No. When you sell to us, there are no showings, open houses, or strangers walking through your home. We may need to do a brief interior inspection to confirm condition, but that's it. You maintain your privacy.

Our contracts typically allow you to cancel within a certain timeframe (often 3 business days) if you have second thoughts. We're not here to pressure you; we want you to be comfortable with your decision. Read your contract carefully and ask questions.

Simply fill out the form on this page with your address and contact information, or call us at 916-896-5605. We'll ask a few questions about your property and situation, then provide a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours. It's free, fast, and confidential.

We pay via wire transfer or certified check at closing. You'll receive clear funds, typically the same day. We don't use risky payment methods.

Yes, selling the marital home quickly can simplify a divorce settlement. We can provide a fair cash offer, close on a timeline that works for both parties, and provide the funds to be divided. It's often the fastest, cleanest way to move forward.

Absolutely. Relocation is one of the most common reasons people sell fast. We can work around your timeline to ensure you have the cash you need to move and start your new job. Just let us know your deadline.

Our primary focus is residential real estate (single-family homes, condos, townhouses, and small multifamily up to 4 units). For larger commercial properties, we may still be able to help or connect you with a trusted partner. Call us to discuss.

We generally purchase entire properties. If you have a large parcel and want to subdivide, that's a more complex transaction. However, we're open to creative solutions; give us a call to explore possibilities.

Yes, we buy condemned properties. They often require significant work, but we're prepared for that. If your house has been red-tagged, call us—we may still be able to help.

Yes. Flood zones, earthquake fault lines, or other environmental factors don't disqualify a property. We buy homes as-is, with full knowledge of the risks. We'll factor any potential issues into our offer, but we won't walk away because of them.

Selling to a cash buyer is faster, simpler, and costs you nothing in commissions or repairs. With an agent, you pay 5-6% commission, wait months, and must prepare your home for showings and inspections. With us, you get a guaranteed cash offer, no fees, and a closing in as little as 14 days.
