Sell Your House Fast in Orinda, CA. Hillside Home or Older House, Sold As-Is.

We make an offer based on the house, its condition and what similar homes are worth, and we explain how we got there. A cash offer is often lower than a fully updated sale would bring, because you skip repairs, showings and the wait. Compare it with a listing before you decide, and take your time.

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.

Yes, we can make an offer on a house with an unpermitted deck, room or garage conversion. We look at the house as it is, and you do not need to bring it up to code first. What the law asks of a seller in that situation depends on the facts, so ask a real estate attorney if you are unsure.

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.

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 Orinda: 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.

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.

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. Our California page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

We buy a mobile or manufactured home when the seller owns the land under it. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot. If you own both the home and the land, send us the address.

In California a title company and an escrow holder (often the same company) usually handle the closing: title runs the search and records the deed, and escrow holds the funds and pays everyone out. Many sellers do not hire an attorney for a standard sale, but you can have one review the contract, and an attorney is wise if the house is in a trust or estate.

Selling quickly may not by itself create a tax. What you owe can depend on what you paid, how long you owned and lived in the house, any improvements and your own situation. We cannot give tax advice, so ask a tax professional before you sign.

Price, condition, timing and financing all play a part. A house that needs repairs, has unpermitted work or sits vacant for months can wait a long time on the market. Selling as-is for cash removes the buyer-loan step and the repair requests that often follow an inspection, though the offer will reflect the condition.

We can buy it with the tenants in place. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what that means in practice depends on the lease terms. Send us a copy and we can talk through it.

Ask for the company name, a written offer and the contract before you commit. Look at its Google reviews and BBB profile. Ask who the buyer will be, since a contract can be assigned to another buyer, and that should be stated in the agreement.
