WHO WE HELP
Sell house as is california rules, in plain terms
Selling as-is in this state does not mean selling blind. You still complete the transfer disclosure statement, and you still tell a buyer what you know about the property. What as-is changes is the repair obligation. When people search sell house as is california, that distinction is usually what they are trying to pin down. You disclose. You do not have to fix. The two ideas get tangled together in most conversations about as-is sales, and untangling them is half the battle.
Why owners ask about as-is
The conditions owners ask us about
These are the things people apologize for on the first call. None of them stop a sale.
Foundation movement, a cracked slab, or a house that has settled- A roof that has been patched for years rather than replaced
- Fire or water damage that was never fully put right
- An addition or an in-law unit built without permits
- Original wiring, galvanized plumbing, and a furnace well past its life
You don’t have to solve all of this before you sell to us.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
No. California still requires the transfer disclosure statement on most residential sales. As-is limits what you are obliged to repair, not what you are obliged to tell a buyer, and honest disclosure protects you after closing.
Yes. You are only required to disclose what you actually know about. We do our own walkthrough and price the condition ourselves, so an inspection report is not something you need to produce or pay for.
The written figure accounts for the condition we saw. We are not looking for a second bite at the price once you have accepted, which is the part most sellers are guarding against after a bad listing experience.
We cover the standard closing costs and there is no agent commission on our side, so the number you agree to is close to what you actually walk away with at the end of escrow.
Yes. Estates and trusts sell property as-is routinely, and the executor or trustee signs a slightly different disclosure package. If that is your situation, say so on the first call and we will walk the sequence with you.
It is, provided the problems are disclosed rather than hidden. Foundation trouble, fire history, unpermitted additions, none of these bar a sale in California. They are priced in and written down, and then the sale proceeds like any other.
