Sell Your House Fast in San Francisco, CA. From the Sunset to the Mission.

No. We buy houses as they are, so you do not need to repair, clean out or stage anything first. Tell us honestly what the house needs, and the offer reflects its condition. If you would rather fix things and list the house, that is a legitimate choice, and we are happy to give you a written offer to compare.

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.

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 San Francisco: San Francisco is a city and county and sets its own transfer tax, which rises with the sale price; the City's rate table is on the page linked here (sf.gov, checked November 2026), subject to the purchase agreement.

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.

We buy houses with tenants in them, so you do not have to end a tenancy first. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and how it affects the tenants depends on the lease terms and the rules that apply to your property. Send us a copy of the lease and the rent details, and ask a California attorney if you have questions about a tenant's rights.

We look at them, yes. Fire, smoke, flood and long-term leak damage all change what a house needs, so we ask for photos and a description, and the offer is based on the house as it stands. If an insurance claim is open, tell us about it early because it may affect timing.

Yes, when you own the land and sell it together with the home. If you own both, send us the address and details and we can usually say whether we can make an offer.

Once we have the address and the details of the house, we send a written offer within one business day. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the closing date that suits you, and the agreement states the timeline before you sign.

A title or escrow company handles it. It runs the title search, holds the funds, arranges payoffs and records the deed. We explain which company is being used and what it will need from you, and you can sign in person or remotely. You can also ask a California attorney to review the paperwork if you prefer.

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. 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.

A listing price is what a house might sell for after preparation, showings, negotiation and the buyer's financing. A cash offer is built around the condition of the house and the buyer's own costs, and it comes with a firmer timeline. Ask each buyer to put the offer, the closing date and who pays which costs in writing, then compare.

Yes. Many sellers handle the sale from a distance. You can send the address and photos by form or phone, and you can sign in person or remotely, as the title or escrow company arranges. Tell us early if you are out of the area so the closing steps can be planned around your schedule.

Yes, and many sellers do. You pick the closing date, so a sale can be timed around your own move, and a signed purchase agreement is something you can ask for and show other real estate professionals as evidence that a sale is under way; ask them what they need to see. Tell us your timing early and we work through the dates with you.

We look at houses across San Francisco, including the Sunset, the Richmond, Noe Valley, Pacific Heights and the Mission. Whether we can make an offer depends on the house and its details. Send the address and we can usually tell you where things stand.
