How My Home Sold Helps California Sellers
We buy houses any condition, in any situation, anywhere in Southern California. Here's what that actually means in practice, and how the process works from first call to closing day.
Overview
What we buy
My Home Sold buys California single-family homes, condos, townhouses, duplexes, multi-unit properties, and vacant lots. We buy houses any condition, from perfect retail-ready homes that just need a fast close, to fire-damaged shells, hoarder homes, code-violation properties, and condemned structures. The condition doesn't kill the deal; it just shapes the offer.
Specifically, we've closed on California homes with:
- Foundation issues (settling, cracking, slab problems)
- Fire damage (smoke, partial loss, full burn-down)
- Water damage and mold
- Roof failure and structural deterioration
- Hoarding and full-house contents we cleared after closing
- Unpermitted additions, illegal ADUs, and expired permits
- Active code violations and abatement orders
- Vandalism, copper theft, and squatting damage
- Septic and well system problems in unincorporated county areas
If your property has a problem we haven't listed, ask us. We've probably seen it. The dealbreakers are rare: environmental contamination of unknown extent (former meth labs, leaking underground tanks), or properties where lien stacks plus condition cost exceed any reasonable retail value. Everything else, we've found a number that works.
Situations we handle
California sellers come to us with a wide range of situational needs. Here's what we routinely help with, tap any card for the full breakdown.
For situations not on this list, the answer is usually still yes. Call us and we'll tell you up front whether your situation fits.
The 3-step cash sale process
Same path for every California cash sale we run, regardless of condition or situation.
- 1
Tell us about the property
Call us, fill out the offer form, or email. We need the address and a few details about the property and situation. The conversation is no-obligation and takes about 10 minutes.
- 2
Get a written cash offer in 24 hours
We pull California comps, factor your property's condition and situation, and send a written offer within one business day. The offer is firm, what we send is what we close at.
- 3
Close in 7 to 14 days
If you accept, we open escrow with a licensed local California title company. You sign documents (in person, with a mobile notary, or via Power of Attorney if you're overseas). We pay all standard closing costs. Net proceeds wire to your bank account at closing. If you need funds before closing, ask about an advance up to $30,000 on a case-by-case basis for qualifying situations.

Overview
What's included, and what isn't
What we cover at closing: title insurance premium, escrow fees, recording fees, document preparation, courier costs, and standard transfer documentation. None of these come out of your check.
What you don't pay: agent commissions (zero, we don't bring agents), service fees, application fees, evaluation fees, or any kind of upfront cost. If anyone calling themselves a cash buyer asks for money before closing, that's a red flag, see our guide on whether cash home buyers are legit.
What you can ask for: if you need cash before closing, whether for moving costs, medical bills, or relocation, we can advance up to $30,000 on a case-by-case basis for qualifying situations. That's money to you, never from you; we never charge sellers upfront fees.
What gets paid out of your sale proceeds: existing mortgage balance, recorded liens or judgments, unpaid property taxes, and HOA fees if applicable. These aren't fees you owe, they're debts already attached to the property that have to clear before clean title transfers.
What we don't require: cleaning, painting, repairs, staging, professional photos, MLS listing, open houses, multiple showings, or any pre-sale preparation. Take what you want when you leave; we handle the rest.
