"I know the Mountain View market is unique. I know driving US-101 to San Jose is a grind. I see Ranch style homes dealing with Federal Pacific Electric panels or strict city planning and permitting for renovations. Unlike Coldwell Banker Mountain View, I don't ask you to fix it. I buy it as-is, saving you $117,000 in commissions. We handle the PG&E and Santa Clara County Assessor's Office paperwork for you."
- Max Cohen, Founder MyFastCashOffer

Inheriting a property in Mountain View can be complex, especially when navigating the California probate process. The timeline in California can be extensive, often taking 9 months to 2 years, particularly if the estate goes through formal probate. Dealing with the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder office, legal requirements, and potential family disputes adds significant stress. Selling to a cash buyer like MyFastCashOffer simplifies this. We can purchase the property directly from the estate, often before probate is fully complete (with court approval), providing liquidity to beneficiaries and avoiding the burden of property maintenance, taxes, and repairs during a difficult time. This bypasses typical market listing delays and agent commissions, offering a swift resolution for inherited homes.
Facing foreclosure in Mountain View is a serious situation, but there are options. California primarily uses a non-judicial foreclosure process, meaning it happens outside of court. Once a homeowner misses payments, a Notice of Default (NOD) is filed with the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder. This triggers a 90-day reinstatement period where you can catch up on payments. If not resolved, a Notice of Trustee Sale (NTS) is recorded, and the sale can occur as early as 21 days later. This compressed timeline leaves little room for traditional sales. We can intervene quickly by offering a fast cash purchase, allowing you to sell your Mountain View property before the auction date. This can help you protect your credit, avoid a public foreclosure record, and potentially walk away with some equity rather than losing everything. Our process is designed for speed and discretion during this critical period.
Older homes in Mountain View, particularly Ranch style properties built decades ago, often come with hidden issues or unpermitted work that can become significant obstacles when selling. Common issues like outdated electrical systems, such as Federal Pacific Electric panels, or renovations completed without proper permits, can deter conventional buyers and complicate mortgage approvals. The City of Mountain View has increasingly strict building codes, and selling a property with existing violations can require expensive and time-consuming retrofits, inspections, and permit applications. We specialize in buying homes as-is, regardless of permit status or existing code violations. This means you don't need to spend time or money bringing your property up to current standards. We assume the responsibility for any necessary repairs and permitting after the sale, providing a stress-free exit for homeowners dealing with these challenges.
| Repair Item | Estimated Cost Range | Our Offer (No Repairs Needed) |
|---|---|---|
| Federal Pacific Electric Panels Replacement | $3,000 - $6,000 | Included |
| New Roof (for Ranch style home) | $15,000 - $30,000 | Included |
| Foundation Repair (minor crack/slab leak) | $5,000 - $15,000 | Included |
Max's Insight:
Mountain View code enforcement is strict about strict city planning and permitting for renovations. We buy with the violation attached, saving you time and potential fines. You don't need to resolve any open permits or unpermitted additions before selling to us.

Monta Loma boasts a strong, engaged community and is strategically located close to the Google campus, Shoreline Amphitheatre, and Rengstorff Park, a major local landmark. It's part of the Mountain View Whisman School District and offers a blend of suburban calm with convenient access to major employment hubs.
