I'm Max Cohen. I know the Los Gatos market is unique. I know driving CA-17 to San Jose is a grind. I see Ranch style homes dealing with Federal Pacific Electric panels or strict Strict Historic Preservation rules. Unlike Coldwell Banker Realty Los Gatos, I don't ask you to fix it. I buy it as-is, saving you $138,000 in commissions. We handle the Pacific Gas and Electric and Santa Clara County Assessor's Office paperwork for you. My team and I are here to provide a clear, fair cash offer, cutting through the typical sales complexities.
Older homes in Los Gatos often come with dated electrical systems. We buy homes as-is, meaning you don't need to update or repair anything. Save time and significant costs.
Los Gatos faces specific environmental challenges. Selling to us eliminates the need to navigate complex insurance markets or mitigate risks before sale. We take on the property's future challenges.

Fill out our short form or call us directly. We gather basic details about your Los Gatos home, no obligations.

Navigating the sale of an inherited property in Los Gatos requires understanding California's probate process, which can be complex and time-consuming. Typically, a non-court supervised probate can take 6-12 months, while a court-supervised probate often extends beyond a year. Delays from the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder's Office can add to the timeline and stress.
We offer a streamlined solution for heirs looking to sell a probate property quickly. Our cash offers allow you to bypass the need for repairs, staging, and traditional market listings, converting the inherited asset into liquid funds without the usual headaches. This can be crucial when dealing with estate taxes or shared inheritances.
Facing foreclosure in California is a daunting prospect. The state primarily uses a non-judicial foreclosure process. Once a Notice of Default (NOD) is recorded by the lender, a mandatory 90-day reinstatement period begins. During this time, you have the opportunity to cure the default. If not resolved, the lender can then issue a Notice of Trustee Sale (NOTS), which must be published for at least 21 days before the property can be sold at auction.
Our team specializes in fast closures, often within days. This rapid timeline can be a critical advantage, providing you with a quick sale to avoid a foreclosure on your credit history and potentially recover equity, rather than losing everything to the bank. We act fast to help you regain control of your financial situation.
Selling a home in Los Gatos with unpermitted work or active code violations, especially those related to older systems like Federal Pacific Electric panels, can deter traditional buyers and complicate lender approvals. Most buyers will require these issues to be resolved and permits closed, which can lead to significant out-of-pocket expenses and protracted delays.
We purchase properties as-is, which means you do not need to undertake costly and time-consuming repairs or navigate the permit application process. We handle any existing code violations or needed updates post-purchase, offering you a clear path to sale without the additional burden.

| Federal Pacific Electric panels Replacement | $3,500 - $7,000 | Included, No Cost to You |
| Roof Replacement | $15,000 - $30,000+ | Included, No Cost to You |

Max's Insight:

Los Gatos offers a distinct blend of historic charm and modern amenities, appealing to a diverse range of residents, many of whom commute to San Jose for work. The town is renowned for its high-performing Los Gatos Union School District, which significantly influences property values and desirability across its various neighborhoods. Each area presents unique characteristics, from tree-lined streets to mountain views, but all benefit from the town's vibrant downtown and access to natural beauty.
Known for its traditional family homes and proximity to schools, Blossom Manor is a highly sought-after area. The streets are often quiet and tree-lined, making it ideal for families.

Situated in the western part of Los Gatos, Rinconada offers larger lots and a more suburban feel. Many properties here feature spacious yards and a sense of privacy.

While offering tranquility, some properties in Alta Vista may face increased Wildfire Risk due to their elevated positions. Access to Los Gatos High School (lgsuhsd.org) is a key benefit for families in this area.
