Sell Your House Fast in South Whittier, CA. An Unincorporated L.A. County Community.

We look at houses in South Whittier, which is an unincorporated community of Los Angeles County and not part of the city of Whittier. Send us the address and we can usually say whether we can make an offer. Whether we can depends on the property and whether the numbers work.

No. We can buy a South Whittier house as it is, in any condition, when the numbers work. The offer usually reflects the repairs the house needs, so you do not fix, paint or clean out anything first.

A licensed title or escrow company handles the closing. It runs the title search, holds the funds, arranges the payoffs and has you sign the paperwork, and you can sign in person or remotely. You can have your own attorney review the purchase agreement before you 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 we can usually say whether we can make an offer.

We send a written cash offer within one business day. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date.

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.

Not on a direct sale to us. An agent commission is usually between 5% and 6% of the sale price when you list; it is negotiable and depends on the agent. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission when you sell directly to us.

Usually not. A cash offer is usually lower than the price a fully repaired home could reach on the open market, because the buyer takes on the repairs, the holding costs and the risk of reselling. In return you skip the repairs, the showings and the wait. We encourage you to compare written offers.
