Navigating probate can be complex and time-consuming, especially when it involves inherited real estate in Chico. In California, the probate process can take anywhere from **9 months to several years**, depending on the complexity of the estate and whether the will is contested. When selling an inherited property, you often face delays with the **Butte County Clerk-Recorder's Office** and the courts, coupled with the emotional burden of managing an estate.
We understand these challenges. Our process allows you to sell the property quickly and efficiently, often bypassing the need for extensive repairs or costly preparation for the market. This means you can liquidate the asset, distribute funds to heirs faster, and avoid the ongoing costs of property maintenance, taxes, and insurance during a prolonged probate period. We work directly with executors and estate attorneys to ensure a smooth, compliant transaction.
Facing foreclosure in Chico is a stressful situation, but you have options. In California, non-judicial foreclosure is common, typically starting with a Notice of Default (NOD). After the NOD is recorded, homeowners have a statutory **90-day period** to cure the default. If the default is not cured, a Notice of Trustee's Sale (NOS) can be recorded, followed by a minimum **21-day period** before the sale can occur. This means from the NOD to the actual sale, it's roughly **111-120 days**.
Selling your Chico house for cash before the auction date can help you avoid a public foreclosure record, protect your credit score, and potentially recover some equity from your home. We can work quickly to provide a cash offer and close before your sale date, offering a confidential and dignified exit from a difficult situation. Don't wait until it's too late; explore your options with us today.
Older homes in Chico, particularly Ranch style properties built between 1950-1980, often come with hidden issues like Galvanized Pipes, outdated electrical systems, or more critically, unpermitted structural modifications. Dealing with these can be a bureaucratic nightmare and an expensive undertaking. The City of Chico code enforcement is proactive, and failing to address violations can lead to fines, liens, or even the inability to sell your home through traditional channels.
The good news is you don't have to bear that burden. We specialize in buying homes as-is, which means we accept properties with existing code violations, unpermitted additions, or needed repairs without demanding you fix them first. This saves you significant time, money, and stress associated with permits, inspections, and contractor headaches. Our offer reflects the current condition, allowing you to sell quickly and move on without the hassle.

Max's Insight:
Chico code enforcement is strict about unpermitted structural modifications. These issues can drastically delay a traditional sale and incur significant penalties. We buy with the violation attached, providing a clean exit strategy.
Chico offers a diverse range of neighborhoods, each with its unique character and appeal. Whether you're near the vibrant downtown, close to the academic hub, or seeking quiet suburban living, we're interested in your property. We understand the local nuances that affect property values and selling processes across the city. Below are a few distinct areas where we frequently purchase homes, often connecting residents to the reputable Chico Unified School District or providing convenient access for commutes towards Sacramento.
This historic area, encompassing many homes in the 95926 zip code, is characterized by its tree-lined streets and proximity to downtown Chico and Chico State University. Homes here are often older, featuring classic architecture from the early to mid-20th century, including many Ranch style homes. Residents enjoy walking to local shops, restaurants, and cultural landmarks like Laxson Auditorium. This area falls within the highly sought-after Chico Unified School District, making it attractive to families despite the potential for older home issues like Galvanized Pipes or electrical updates.
Located primarily within the 95928 zip code, California Park is a master-planned community known for its lakes, greenbelts, and family-friendly environment. Homes here are generally newer than those in central Chico, offering more modern amenities. While less prone to historical defects, some properties might still face concerns like potential Wildfires risks due to proximity to open spaces or specific homeowner association rules. It's a popular choice for those seeking a more suburban feel while still having good access to local amenities and schools in the Chico Unified School District.
This area, often associated with the 95928 zip code, is one of Chico's more affordable and historically diverse neighborhoods. It's an area with a strong community feel, home to many long-term residents. Properties here are often older, presenting challenges such as unpermitted structural modifications from decades past, or being in a Zone AE flood zone due to proximity to creeks. Despite these factors, its affordability and access to city services make it a practical option for many residents, often drawing in first-time homebuyers or investors. We are very familiar with properties in this part of town.
Spanning parts of the 95973 zip code, this western stretch of Chico blends residential areas with agricultural fringes, offering a quieter living experience. Homes range from established residences to newer developments. This area provides relatively easy access to CA-99 for commuters heading south towards Sacramento, making it a strategic location for those balancing city living with broader employment opportunities. While typically lower flood risk, careful consideration of local specificities like well and septic systems or potential impacts from the nearby Silver Dollar Speedway is sometimes needed. The area is served by the Chico Unified School District, providing solid educational options.
