How to Sell Your Marin County Home to Osborne Homes
A simple, no-pressure process designed for homeowners who want certainty, speed, and zero hassle.
1. Contact us online or by phone
Call or fill out the form and describe your Marin County home – a property in Novato or San Rafael or an estate being administered through Marin County probate. We review the details and provide a preliminary offer.
2. Local walkthrough & offer
We visit the property anywhere in Marin County and assess condition – fire zone exposure, original systems on older hillside homes, and current occupancy. You receive a clear written cash offer with no hidden deductions.
3. Close on your timeline
Accept and choose your closing date – as few as 7 days, or later to coordinate a probate or estate timeline. We cover standard closing costs and require no repairs before closing.
We Buy Marin County Properties in Any Situation
Marin County's three seller situations: hillside properties in communities like Mill Valley and Fairfax where fire zone insurance non-renewals have eliminated the conventional buyer pool; inherited estates in San Rafael and Novato carrying some of California's highest monthly carrying costs; and original mid-century homes in Corte Madera and Larkspur that need renovation budgets heirs don't have.
Fire damage
Marin County's hillside communities – Mill Valley, Fairfax, Woodacre, and the communities bordering Mount Tamalpais – sit inside California's most significant fire hazard severity zones. Insurance non-renewals have eliminated conventional financing for many properties. We buy fire-adjacent and fire-damaged Marin County homes as-is.
Sell Home with Fire Damage →Inherited properties
Marin County estates passing through probate carry some of California's highest monthly carrying costs – property taxes on homes assessed at Bay Area valuations, plus maintenance on older hillside properties. We buy inherited Marin County homes as-is so families can close without funding major renovation work.
Sell Inherited House →Needs repairs
Mid-century homes in Corte Madera, Larkspur, and central San Rafael carry original electrical systems, aging plumbing, and deferred roofing that Marin County lenders decline to finance at current Bay Area valuations. We buy as-is throughout Marin County – no renovation before closing.
Sell House As-Is →Homes in foreclosure
High Marin County mortgage obligations can become unmanageable when Bay Area income changes. We provide a direct cash offer so you can act before foreclosure proceedings advance and significant equity is lost.
Sell House in Foreclosure →Vacant properties
Empty Marin County homes carry some of California's highest property tax bills while sitting vacant and accumulating maintenance costs. We buy vacant properties so that monthly exposure ends quickly.
Sell a Vacant Property →Bad tenants
Rental properties in Marin County can develop non-payment or damage situations that California eviction law makes slow and costly to resolve at these carrying costs. We purchase occupied homes so you exit cleanly.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Selling a Marin Home with Point-of-Sale Requirements
In parts of Marin, a sale can’t close until the home passes a city resale inspection or a sewer lateral test. When either one finds problems, sellers face repair bills and delays right when a buyer is waiting. We buy homes before or after those inspections and handle the required corrections ourselves after closing.
