Selling a home often comes with unexpected complications. In San Juan Capistrano, we understand the specific local hurdles that can derail a traditional sale. Our goal is to provide a straightforward alternative, allowing you to bypass these common stressors.
Probate & Inheritance in Orange County
Navigating an inherited property can be emotionally and financially draining. In California, the probate process can be lengthy. Even a non-contested will can take a minimum of 6 to 12 months, often longer, especially with delays at the Orange County Clerk-Recorder office. Selling through probate typically requires court approval, adding further time and legal fees. We provide a direct cash offer, which can simplify the estate settlement and often expedite the distribution of assets to heirs. We buy these properties as-is, removing the burden of maintenance or repairs during the probate period.
Foreclosure in California
Facing foreclosure is a serious situation. California is primarily a non-judicial foreclosure state, meaning the process can be swift. Once a Notice of Default (NOD) is recorded by the lender, you typically have 90 days to cure the default. If not, a Notice of Trustee Sale (NOTS) is issued, followed by a trustee sale in as little as 21 days. This compressed timeline leaves little room for a traditional sale. We can intervene quickly with a cash offer, often allowing you to sell before the auction date, pay off the lender, and protect your credit. Our fast closing capabilities are designed for these time-sensitive scenarios.
Permits & Code Violations
Many older Ranch style homes in San Juan Capistrano might have unpermitted additions or code violations. Common issues include significant property defects like Slab Leaks. Repairing a Slab Leak can involve jackhammering concrete, extensive replumbing, and drywall repair, costing thousands. A traditional buyer will demand these issues be fixed before closing, leading to significant delays and out-of-pocket expenses. We purchase properties with these issues attached. You avoid the retrofitting nightmare, the permit hassle, and the repair costs. We evaluate the property as it stands and factor any necessary work into our offer, providing a truly as-is solution.
