List it in Los Angeles, or sell it to us.
Every city adds its own paperwork to a sale. Here is what a listing in Los Angeles asks of you, and what changes when we are the buyer.
If you list in Los Angeles
- Transfer tax: Los Angeles County charges $1.10 per $1,000 of price, and the City adds $4.50 per $1,000. Sales above $5.4 million pay the Measure ULA rate on top (4%, rising to 5.5% above $10.9 million). Negotiated in escrow, usually the seller.
- Residential Property Report (the "9A"): ordered from LADBS, valid six months, delivered to the buyer before the sale. It triggers the retrofit checklist. Water-saving fixtures with an LADWP certificate before closing, a seismic gas shut-off valve, smoke and CO alarms, impact-safety glazing on sliding doors, and quick-release security bars.
- Tenants: the Rent Stabilization Ordinance and the Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance cover every rental unit in the city. Selling is not a ground to end a tenancy, and owner move-in requires city-set relocation payments.
- Plus the usual: repairs, showings, commissions, and weeks on market before a buyer's loan even starts.
If you sell to us
- As-is. No repairs, no staging, no showings.
- No agent commissions. Every cost in the deal is written into the offer before you sign, so nothing new appears at closing.
- You choose the closing date, as soon as seven days or months out.
- Tenants in place are fine. We buy occupied property and do not ask you to evict anyone first.
- State disclosures still apply to every sale (smoke and CO alarms, water-heater strapping, the standard California forms). We walk you through them; they take minutes, not weeks.
- We order the 9A report and take on the retrofit items the ordinance lets a buyer assume, so the checklist becomes our job, not yours.
Rules verified against City of Los Angeles, LADBS, LAHD and Los Angeles County sources on . Ordinances change; we re-check before every offer.

How fast can I sell my house in California?
We can close in as little as 7 days, sometimes faster when title is clean and the seller is motivated. The typical close is 7–14 days. Once you submit your property info you receive a cash offer within 24 hours, and you pick the closing date, anywhere from 7 to 60+ days.
Do I need to make repairs before selling?
No repairs are needed to sell a California house to us; we buy as-is, including houses that would fail an inspection. We buy houses in any condition: fire damage, flood damage, hoarder homes, inherited properties, foundation issues, code violations, open permits. You sell as-is. Leave behind whatever you don't want.
Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs?
There are no fees, commissions or closing costs when you sell to us; the written offer is the amount you receive. We pay all closing costs, title fees, escrow fees, and recording fees. There are no agent commissions because there is no agent.
Can I choose my own closing date?
Yes, you choose the closing date, anywhere from seven days to several months out. We work on your schedule.
