How to sell a house in Mariposa County

Foothill and mountain properties can sit on the market, especially when they need work or have access issues. Listing means showings, inspections and a wait for a buyer’s financing. A cash sale offers a single written offer, no repair list and your choice of closing date, at the cost of a lower price than a perfect listing might reach.

1. Send the property details. Use the form on this page or call (424) 435-2326.
2. Review a written offer within 24 hours. No fees, no obligation.
3. Choose your closing date. Escrow pays off the mortgage, taxes and liens from the proceeds.
4. Close and get paid. The deed is recorded at the Mariposa County Recorder.

What does it cost to sell a house in Mariposa County?

The county recorder collects documentary transfer tax on transfers of real property, and the purchase contract decides who pays it. Property taxes owed are paid from the proceeds at closing, and a late installment adds a 10 percent penalty after December 10 or April 10. Selling before those dates avoids the penalty. A cash offer from us adds no agent commission and no repair costs.
