Selling your home to Osborne might seem daunting but it’s incredibly easy thanks to our easy-to-follow three-step process:

Reach Out

Once you've inherited your new home, reach out to Osborne Homes and we can get the no-pressure process started.

Appointment

After reaching out, we'll have a quick virtual consultation to learn more about you and your recently inherited home.

Get Cash

At last, you can close typically within a few short weeks. Enjoy all cash with zero stress. That's the Osborne way.

Quick Closure Assurance

In the real estate world, timing can be everything. Osborne Homes stands out for our ability to close deals quickly. We recognize that many homeowners looking to sell inherited properties are often in need of prompt solutions. Our process is tailored to meet these needs, offering quick closure – often within a few weeks. This rapid turnaround is a significant relief for those who require immediacy in their transactions, such as those relocating or settling estate matters ASAP. Our assurance of a quick closure is not just a promise but a cornerstone of our service, providing you with a reliable and efficient path to selling your inherited property.

don't stress about Outstanding mortgages.

When you inherit a home you also inherit any outstanding mortgages on the property or home. When selling a home with a mortgage on the traditional market you’re required to pay it off in full with cash or to take out a personal loan for the difference. 

When you sell a home with an outstanding mortgage to Osborne Homes we’ll work with you and the title company on paying off the mortgage.

Addressing Complex Joint Ownership

Inherited properties often come with the challenge of joint ownership, where multiple parties have a stake in the property. Osborne Homes specializes in navigating these situations with a focus on fairness and collaboration. We work diligently to ensure that all parties’ interests are considered and respected. Our team facilitates open communication and transparent negotiations, helping to resolve any disputes amicably. This approach not only simplifies the selling process but also helps maintain harmonious relationships among all involved parties. With Osborne Homes, you have a partner who is skilled in handling the nuances of joint ownership, ensuring a smooth and fair selling process for everyone involved.

Avoid dealing with realtors.

When you sell any home on the traditional market with a realtor you’ll typically pay anywhere from 6-8% of the homes value in real estate agent fees. 

Selling to Osborne Homes ensures that you don’t have to pay any realtor fees, instead you can just enjoy fast cash.

Avoid high California home repair costs

California is an expensive place to live in and to maintain and repair homes is just as costly. If you’ve inherited a California property out of state, you may be surprised at the average cost of repairs.

Foundational Repairs$7,500 - $25,000

Cracks in the foundation should not be taken lightly, as they are more prevalent than commonly assumed and can incur substantial costs. Approximately 25% of homes encounter foundation issues that must be addressed before being placed on the market for sale.

Roof Repairs$3,000 - $8,500

Roofing repairs are a frequently encountered contingency for sellers, particularly in light of California’s intense sunlight. Over time, roofs may develop leaks, cave in, or lose shingles. However, the cost of fixing these issues can be significant.

Electrical Issues$100 - $2,500

Electrical issues are not confined to older homes; they are equally prevalent in newer homes. These problems can arise from various factors, including bug infestations, water damage, and other potential sources.

Water Damage$2,500 - $3,500

California is no stranger to water damage. The diverse climate conditions in California, which can vary significantly from day to day, expose homes to challenges such as fluctuating humidity, cold temperatures, and rainfall, posing a significant risk.
