Where do we buy houses in Sutter County?

How to sell a house in Sutter County

You can list with an agent or sell directly to a cash buyer. A listing can bring a higher price on a house in good shape, but it means showings, repairs, inspections and waiting on a buyer’s loan. A cash sale gives up some price for speed and certainty, and you choose when to close.

1. Tell us about the house. Use the form on this page or call (424) 435-2326.
2. Review the written offer. It arrives within 24 hours, with no fees and no obligation.
3. Pick a closing date. Escrow pays off your mortgage, taxes and liens from the proceeds.
4. Close and get paid. The deed is recorded at the Sutter County Clerk-Recorder in Yuba City and funds are released through escrow.

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

The Clerk-Recorder says the documentary transfer tax is $0.55 per $500 of the sale price or value and is due at the time of recording any transfer of real property. The county’s content does not mention a separate city transfer tax. Who pays is set in the purchase contract.

Unpaid property taxes and liens are paid from the proceeds at closing. A traditional listing adds agent commissions and repair costs, which our cash offers do not carry. See the statewide picture in our California transfer tax report.

What situations do we help with in Sutter County?
