Seller FAQ
Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask most. No jargon, no runaround.
How does your process work?
Share your property details through our form or by phone. We review the property and discuss whether a direct purchase may fit. If a written offer works for you, the agreement sets the price, any due diligence, closing costs and an agreed closing date. Title and escrow requirements can affect timing.
Do I need to make any repairs before selling?
You do not need to repair or clean the property before requesting an offer. Tell us about its condition, damage, permits and known issues. We review the property before discussing a possible as-is purchase; an offer is not guaranteed for every property.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
No commission charged by us. Who pays which closing costs is spelled out in your written offer. Existing loans, liens, taxes, and other transaction amounts are addressed through the written offer and escrow documents.
How do you determine your offer price?
We look at recent comparable sales in your area, the property's condition, estimated repair costs, and current market conditions. We're transparent about our numbers — if you want to see how we arrived at our offer, just ask and we'll walk you through the math.
Can I sell if I have tenants in the property?
We can review tenant-occupied properties without requiring an eviction just to request an offer. Share the lease, deposits, rent history, access limitations and any disputes. A purchase remains subject to the existing tenancy, applicable rules and written terms; ask a landlord-tenant attorney about your obligations.
What if I'm behind on my mortgage payments?
Contact us early to discuss whether a sale may be workable. Requesting an offer does not pause foreclosure or extend a lender's deadline, and we cannot guarantee closing before an auction. Also discuss your options directly with your servicer, a HUD-approved housing counselor or a qualified attorney.
Can I sell an inherited property?
We can discuss inherited homes and a possible as-is offer. Closing requires the person signing to have authority to sell, with probate, court approval, title or other requirements resolved as applicable. Coordinate with your estate attorney and escrow; a pending offer does not remove those requirements.
How fast can you actually close?
We can discuss your preferred date and agree on a workable closing timeline, subject to the written agreement, title and escrow. Liens, probate, community approvals and signing requirements may add time. A later closing or rent-back is a separate arrangement that must be agreed in writing.
Is your offer negotiable?
Our initial offer is based on our best analysis of the property. That said, if you have information we don't (recent upgrades, comparable sales we missed, etc.), we're open to discussion. We want the deal to work for both sides.
What areas do you buy in?
We're actively buying in San Diego County and Riverside County, California. This includes cities like San Diego, Escondido, Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad, Temecula, Murrieta, Riverside, Corona, and surrounding areas. If you're not sure if we cover your area, just ask.
What types of properties do you buy?
Single-family homes, condos, townhomes, multi-family (2–4 units), and mobile homes on land. We also consider vacant land in some cases. If it's residential and in our market area, we're interested.
Am I obligated to accept your offer?
Absolutely not. Our offer is 100% no-obligation. If it doesn't work for you, no hard feelings. We'll never pressure you. Many sellers get our offer just to have a baseline number, even if they decide to list later.
How is this different from those 'We Buy Houses' signs?
My California Home Solution is a local home-buying and real estate investment business serving San Diego and Riverside Counties, not a licensed brokerage. Ask who is buying, whether the proposed transaction is a direct purchase or assignment, and how price, costs and due diligence work. Any separately agreed brokerage services are disclosed separately. Review the written agreement and title and escrow information before deciding.
What happens after I submit the form?
Our team will review your inquiry and contact you to discuss the property and your goals. If a direct purchase may fit, we will coordinate a property review and explain a possible written offer. Requesting an offer does not commit you to selling. Any obligations begin with the agreements you choose to sign.
