Los Angeles
A listing needs the city's 9A report and its retrofit checklist, plus a city transfer tax on top of the county's. We take the report and the retrofit items on as the buyer.
Selling a house in Los AngelesWhere we buy
Where we buy houses in California.
We buy anywhere in the state. The cities below have their own page because selling there comes with its own paperwork: city transfer taxes, point-of-sale reports, local tenant rules. Each page shows what a listing asks of you and what changes when we are the buyer.
