Frequently Asked Questions

Selling a house in California often raises questions about timelines, fees, repairs, and paperwork. Below, we answer the most common FAQs about selling your home fast for cash in California with Osborne Homes.

How does your home-buying process work? 

We follow three simple steps:

  1. Contact us with your property details.
  2. Receive a fair, cash offer within 48 hours.
  3. Close on your timeline, often in as little as three weeks.

Will I have to pay any fees or closing costs?

No. We cover all escrow fees, title insurance, and closing costs. The offer you accept is exactly what you’ll receive at closing with no hidden fees.

How long does it take to get an offer?

Every situation is unique, but it’s not unusual to receive a cash offer from us within 48 hours of your initial contact.

What do you mean by “cash”?

We use our own cash funds to buy houses, not bank loans. That means no waiting on approvals, appraisals, or financing delays. You get a guaranteed cash offer on your house and payment at closing.

How do you determine the value of my house when making an offer?

We look at:

  • Location & neighborhood
  • Property condition and repairs needed
  • Comparable California home sales
  • Your preferred closing timeline

Our goal is to give you a clear, transparent offer so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.

Am I obligated to accept your cash offer?

Not at all. You’re under no obligation. We provide a no-pressure evaluation and present a fair cash offer for your consideration without any commitment required.

How is selling to you different from using a real estate agent?

Selling to us eliminates agent commissions, staging costs, repairs, showings, and financing delays. You get a guaranteed cash sale with fast closing, avoiding traditional market uncertainty.

What types of property do you buy?

We buy houses in any condition, including single-family homes, duplexes, multi-family properties, inherited homes, and even properties with legal or tenant issues, anywhere in California.

Do you buy houses or properties in need of repair?

Yes. We purchase homes in any condition, including fire damage, water damage, mold, structural issues, or cosmetic problems. No repairs or cleaning needed before selling.

Do you only buy houses in California?

Yes. We purchase properties throughout California, from the Central Valley to Southern California. With 20 years of local expertise, we ensure fair valuations across all California regions.

Will you list my house?

No. We buy directly from you, eliminating listings, agent commissions, appraisals, and bank loans. We purchase your property outright for all cash.

What if my house is already listed with an agent?

You can still sell your house to us, however, you may need to compensate your agent according to your listing agreement terms.

I need to sell my inherited home, will you buy it?

Yes. We buy inherited properties. If you accept our purchase agreement, we can close and you’ll receive your money from escrow fast.

How do I sell my home fast if it’s in probate?

We prepare a valid purchase agreement that is subject to probate court approval. Our experience with probate home sales in California helps streamline the process so you can close quickly once probate is complete.

Can I still sell if I’m evicting a tenant or have tenant troubles?

Yes. We can close escrow with the tenant occupying the property, and will handle all tenant matters ourselves from there. Learn more about selling a house with tenants in California.

Do you buy houses with tax liens or other legal issues?

Yes. We often purchase properties with tax liens, code violations, judgments, or title complications. Our team handles these issues as part of the transaction so you can still sell your home fast.

Can you help with a short sale? 

Yes. If you owe more than your home’s worth, we work directly with your lender to facilitate a short sale, helping you avoid foreclosure with our experienced team.
