Sell Your House Fast in Santa Paula, CA. Main Street Bungalow or Orchard-Side Home.

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 Santa Paula: 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.

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.

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.

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

In California a sale usually closes through escrow, held by an escrow company or a title company. Escrow collects the funds and handles payoffs, and the title company records the deed and issues title insurance. Your escrow officer or an attorney can answer questions about your own transaction.

Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot, because we buy manufactured homes only with the land. If you are not sure how the home and land are titled, send us the address and we will ask the right questions.

Yes. You do not have to end the lease or ask the tenants to leave before you talk to us. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, but that depends on the lease terms. Send us a copy and the rent details and we will explain how it would work for your house.

Yes. We make offers on houses in their current condition, including ones with fire, smoke or water damage. Photos and a short description help us make the offer. An offer does not depend on repairs being done first. If you have an open insurance claim, tell us, and the purchase agreement can set out how any claim or proceeds are handled.

A vacant house is fine. Send the address and what you know about the condition. If you live outside Santa Paula, most of the process can be handled by phone, email and signed documents, and the title or escrow company can coordinate the closing with you.

It can affect what we look at, such as the age of the roof, the wiring and the plumbing, but we still buy older houses as they are. If the house is on the City and County historic landmark list, tell us. Contact the city if you have questions about what rules apply to the property.

No. Homeowners in 43 states, including California, can request a written cash offer from us. We have 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews and are BBB accredited. We may buy directly or assign our contract to another buyer, and the agreement tells you if that is the case.
