Sell Your House Fast in Isla Vista, CA. Student Rental, Inherited Home or Fixer.

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.

A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means for each tenant depends on the lease terms and the law that applies. Send us copies of the leases and tell us who lives in the house. We evaluate rentals with tenants in place, and an attorney licensed in California can confirm the details for your situation.

Not by itself. Tell us what was built and when, and we evaluate the house as it stands, with the price reflecting the issue. We cannot promise an offer on every house, since it depends on the property, the title and whether the numbers work.

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.

Everyone whose signature or authorization is required has to agree and sign, and a probate or estate attorney can confirm who that is. At Eagle, our policy is to have everyone on the deed and every decision maker on the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together whether to move forward. You can sign in person or remotely.

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.

Closings are handled through a title or escrow company, which checks the title, arranges payoffs and prepares the settlement statement. You pick the closing date. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time, and you can sign in person or remotely.

We can usually send a written cash offer within one business day after we have the property details. Some properties need more research, photos or a walkthrough before the offer can be finalized. There is no obligation to accept it.

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 Isla Vista: county tax of $0.55 per $500 of value (about $1.10 per $1,000), subject to the purchase agreement.

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 the land under the home, send us the address and details and we will evaluate it.

We evaluate houses in Isla Vista and in the communities around it in Santa Barbara County, including Goleta and Eastern Goleta Valley. Whether we can make an offer depends on the property, its title and its marketability, and mobile homes are covered only when sold with the land.

In some cases Eagle can agree to a short stay after closing, usually 7 to 14 days. Part of the seller's proceeds is held in escrow by the title company or attorney and released when the seller moves out. Eagle does not offer rent-backs or longer stays.

Usually not. Cash offers sit below what a fully repaired house can fetch on the open market, since the buyer takes on repairs, holding costs and resale risk. If your house is in good shape and you have both the time and the money to prepare it, listing with a good local agent may bring more, and we can usually tell you so.

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.
