Sell Your House Fast in Fortuna, CA. Houses Bought As-Is.

You send the address and a few details about the house. We can send a written cash offer within one business day, if the numbers work. If you accept, a title or escrow company handles the closing. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.

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 Fortuna: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

On the open market, repairs, cleaning and showings take time, and buyers may ask for changes after an inspection. Selling to cash buyers like Eagle can skip those steps, since we can consider a house as it stands and send a written cash offer within one business day, if the numbers work. If your house is in good shape and you have time, listing with an agent may bring a higher price.

An offer is only an offer, and nothing is binding until you and Eagle sign a purchase agreement. After signing, what you can do depends on the terms of the contract and the stage of the closing, so read it closely and ask an attorney if you have questions.

We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own both, send us the address and we will take a look.

We can consider it, if the numbers work. You do not have to wait for the lease to end. Who takes over the lease at closing depends on the lease terms and the contract, so send us a copy. California tenant protection rules can apply in some cases, so an attorney can confirm what applies to yours.

We start with what a similar house in good condition would sell for, subtract what repairs would cost a buyer and the costs of reselling it, and allow for a margin. You get the offer in writing, and you are free to compare it with others. At Eagle, we think comparing offers is a good idea.

No. You can leave furniture and belongings, and you do not have to fix anything. We can consider the house as it is, if the numbers work.

We look at houses across Humboldt County as well as in Fortuna. For mobile homes, we buy only when the home is sold together with the land it sits on. Send the address and we can usually tell you whether we can make an offer.

That is part of the agreement, and you set the date with us. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time, so you can plan the move around the closing.
