How to sell a house in Lassen County

You can list with an agent or sell straight to a cash buyer. A listing means showings, inspections and a buyer who needs loan approval, and winter weather can slow all three. A cash sale replaces that with one written offer, no repair list and a closing date you set. You may accept a lower price in return, so compare the two routes.

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. Pick your closing date. Escrow pays off the mortgage, taxes and liens from the proceeds.
4. Close and get paid. The deed is recorded with the county and funds are released.

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

The documentary transfer tax is the main government charge, and the contract decides who pays it. Property taxes you owe are paid from the proceeds at closing, and a late installment adds a 10 percent penalty after December 10 or April 10. Call the Tax Collector at (530) 251-8218 for the amount due on your parcel. Our cash offers include no agent commission and no repair costs.

What situations do we help with in Lassen County?
