How to sell a house in Imperial County

Imperial County is a smaller, border-region market where listings can take longer to find buyers, and many owners hold houses they inherited or rent out. Extreme summer heat is hard on roofs and air conditioning, and those items often turn up in inspections. Selling for cash lets you pass the house along as it is, without cooling-system repairs or a buyer’s financing.

1. Reach out by form or at (424) 435-2326.
2. Get a written offer within 24 hours.
3. Pick the closing date.
4. Close through escrow and receive your funds.

What if my Imperial County property taxes are delinquent?

Unpaid taxes carry a 10 percent penalty after the December 10 and April 10 deadlines, and taxes still unpaid after June 30 are defaulted and collect monthly interest. The Tax Collector publishes the properties that are tax-defaulted ahead of any sale, so owners who are behind should act early.

If you sell before a sale is scheduled, escrow pays the balance from your proceeds. Ask the Tax Collector’s office on West Main Street for the payoff figure for your closing month.

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

Costs include transfer tax, unpaid taxes or liens and the prorated current-year tax. Agent commissions and repairs add to that on a listing, while our cash offers have none.
