Sell Your Dana Point House for Cash. Harbor Town, Any Condition.

We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Dana Point: county tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000); some charter cities add their own, subject to the purchase agreement.

Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. California sellers commonly complete a Transfer Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in California can confirm which disclosures apply.

Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.

It depends on how title was held and California law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in California should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.

A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. In California, a home loan secured by a deed of trust is generally foreclosed by a trustee's sale rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the trustee or the court, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in California can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Our California page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.

We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own both the home and the land, send the address and we will tell you whether we can make an offer if the numbers work.

Often, yes, but an association may have its own rules and balances. Tell us the name of the association and any dues or fees you owe, because unpaid association balances are usually settled from the proceeds at closing. Send the address and we will tell you whether we can make an offer if the numbers work.

Some people sell to a family member for a very low price, but a sale far below market value can raise gift tax, capital gains, mortgage and other questions that depend on your situation. Ask a California real estate attorney and a tax professional first. Eagle makes an offer based on the house and the numbers, so it would not be a $1 sale to us.

It depends on your time and your money. If you have the time to wait out a listing and the money to put the house right first, listing with a good local agent may bring a higher price, and we can usually tell you so. If one of those is missing, a cash sale can make more sense, because you skip repairs, showings and the wait for a buyer's loan. Compare written offers either way.

The common mistakes are signing something you have not read and assuming a buyer's first number is final. Compare offers, ask what each one deducts, and ask who pays what at closing. Tell any buyer what you know about repairs, tenants and liens early, because hiding a problem usually costs more later. At Eagle we think comparing offers is a good idea.

In general, an offer starts from an estimate of the house's market value, then subtracts the repairs it needs, the costs of reselling it and a margin for the business. Our acquisition manager can walk you through those pieces, and you can compare that against any other offers you have.

Often, yes. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and how it works depends on the lease terms. Send us the rent, the lease end date and the condition of the unit, and we can usually say whether we can make an offer if the numbers work.

We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work. The price takes the repairs into account, and you do not pay for repairs or cleanouts. If the numbers do not work for us, we will tell you.

Often, yes. Distance is not the obstacle. Closing paperwork can usually be handled through the mail or through the closing provider, a licensed title or escrow company.

No. Eagle works in 43 states and has no office in Dana Point. You can send the address through the form or call, and we handle the rest by phone, email and through the closing provider.

We review the address and the details you give us. When we can make an offer, we can usually send a written one within one business day. If you accept, you pick the closing date, and a licensed title or escrow company handles the closing.
