Which Del Norte County communities do we buy in?

We buy in Crescent City, Smith River, Klamath, Gasquet, Fort Dick and the rural areas around them. That includes older coastal homes, manufactured homes, houses on acreage and inherited properties. The county’s small size and remote location can make a financed sale slow, which is where a direct cash purchase helps.

How to sell a house in Del Norte County

You can list with an agent or sell directly to a cash buyer. A traditional listing suits a well-kept home in a good location, but the market is thin, appraisals and inspections can add weeks, and weather, moisture and age can turn up repairs.

A cash sale gives you a firm answer, no showings and a closing date of your choice, in return for a price below a full retail sale.

1. Tell us about the house with the form here or at (424) 435-2326.
2. Get the offer in writing within 24 hours, free and with no obligation.
3. Choose the closing date. Escrow pays the mortgage, taxes and liens from the proceeds.
4. Close. The deed records with the Clerk-Recorder in Crescent City and escrow releases your funds.

How do property taxes affect a Del Norte County sale?

Secured taxes are billed in two installments, each with a penalty after the delinquency date. Unpaid taxes are a lien on the property, so on a sale escrow clears them from your proceeds. The Treasurer-Tax Collector at 981 H Street, Suite 150 can give you the amount due for your closing month. Note the office keeps shorter hours than many counties, closing at 1 p.m. on Fridays, so call ahead at (707) 464-7283.

What does it cost to sell a house in Del Norte County?

State law sets the documentary transfer tax at $0.55 for each $500 of value, paid when the deed records. Local transfer-tax rules can also apply in some places, so ask escrow to confirm the total for your property. The calculator below shows the county amount only. A traditional sale adds commissions and repair costs; our cash offers do not.
