How to Sell My House for Cash in Los Angeles
We help Los Angeles homeowners explore selling directly to our local buyer without preparing a house for the market. Learn what happens from the first conversation through closing, then call or send the short form to request a no-obligation cash offer.
Start with a call or the short form
Call us or send the short form to tell us which house you want to sell. The form asks for the property address, phone number and email, along with a required consent checkbox. A virtual assistant answers calls and takes your name, phone number and property address; calls are recorded. The assistant collects contact details so our local buyer can call you about the property.
Talk with our local buyer about the house
Our local buyer contacts you to discuss the house and arrange a look in person or by video. Explain its current condition, who occupies it and what you want from a sale. You can point out unfinished work, repairs you have set aside or belongings you want to leave. The visit is a chance to understand the property as it stands, without staging it for prospective purchasers.
Review the cash offer and ask questions
You receive a no-obligation cash offer from our local buyer and decide whether it suits you. Ask what the proposed purchase includes, which costs each side would pay and how possession would work. This part of the cash offer process is for understanding the terms before making a decision. Request explanations of anything unclear and take the time you need to review the written agreement.
Let the closing professional handle the paperwork
If you accept, the sale moves into escrow, where the escrow officer handles the closing paperwork. They review the ownership record and identify matters that need attention before the property can transfer. Provide the documents they request and ask them to explain any unfamiliar entry on the closing statement. The proposed closing costs are explained in writing so you can review the responsibilities before signing.
Agree on the closing date and handover
You close with the buyer on a date you choose together, once the title work is done. Discuss access, keys and the condition in which you will leave the house before that date. Unwanted items can stay if the buyer agrees, so have that understanding included in writing. You can also read our answers about selling for cash before starting a conversation.
What You Can Skip and What You Decide
No repair work
Sell the house in its current condition to our local buyer, without arranging contractors or finishing projects before the buyer reviews it.
No cleaning or staging
Leave the property as it stands for the review, and discuss any belongings you would like the buyer to accept with the house.
No public showings
You avoid open houses and repeated tours for prospective purchasers; our local buyer arranges a property review directly with you.
Your decision
Requesting a cash offer creates no obligation to accept it, and you can ask questions before deciding whether to proceed with the buyer.
Your closing date
Choose a date with the buyer once the title work is done, and agree on when keys and possession will change hands.
How Our Local Buyer Works Out the Cash Offer
Our local buyer considers the house's condition, the repairs it needs and recent sales nearby when preparing a cash offer. The review also takes account of the costs of holding and reselling the property. A house with unfinished projects calls for a different repair plan than a house ready for someone to move into.
Tell the buyer about known problems and work already completed so the conversation reflects the house you are selling. You can ask how particular repairs affected the assessment and which assumptions the buyer made. The amount depends on the property, its condition and the local market, rather than a standard figure for every address.
A cash offer is usually below what a fully repaired house might bring on the open market. The trade is speed, more certainty about the agreed terms and avoiding repairs. Our cash sale and agent comparison explains the choices so you can weigh the work involved alongside the proposed price.

Common questions
How does selling to a cash buyer work from the first call?
We take your contact details, then our local buyer calls to learn about the house and arrange a review. The buyer prepares a no-obligation cash offer for you to consider. If you decide to proceed, the escrow officer handles the closing paperwork and property transfer through escrow.
What should I have ready before I contact you?
Have the property address and your contact information ready so we can pass your request to our local buyer. You can describe the house in its current condition when the buyer calls. You do not need to prepare rooms for photographs, clean the property or finish repairs to begin that conversation.
Will I speak with the buyer when I first call?
A virtual assistant answers the initial call, which is recorded, and takes your name, phone number and property address. Our local buyer then calls you to discuss the property. Questions about the house, the proposed cash purchase and the sale terms belong in that conversation with the buyer.
Can I leave things behind when the sale closes?
You can leave unwanted items if the buyer agrees to accept them with the house. Describe those items during the property review and confirm the arrangement in writing before signing. Discuss anything you intend to remove as well, so the agreement gives you and the buyer a clear understanding of the handover.
Start with Your Property Address
