Frequently Asked Questions About Selling in Los Angeles County

Will I be pressured to accept a cash offer?

No. The purpose of the review is to compare realistic paths. You can choose to list, consider a cash option, wait, or take no action.

Can I sell the property as-is?

Possibly. You may be able to list as-is on the open market or consider an off-market cash sale. “As-is” does not eliminate required disclosures, and buyers may still investigate the property or negotiate contract terms.

How long could the sale take?

An open-market listing commonly takes about 30–60 days, but preparation, pricing, market response, financing, inspections, and escrow can change the timeline. An eligible cash purchase may close in as few as 10 days, subject to title, access, disclosures, property review, and the written agreement.

Does Ready Realty buy homes directly?

Ready Realty may purchase a property directly when the situation and property fit its criteria. Cash is one possible outcome—not the assumed answer. If Ready Realty may act as buyer, that role, the proposed terms, and applicable conflicts or compensation will be disclosed in writing.

Will a cash offer equal full market value?

Not necessarily. Cash buyers typically account for condition, repairs, holding costs, risk, and convenience. A cash offer may be lower than the price a prepared property could achieve with full market exposure. Compare estimated net proceeds and contract certainty, not only the headline price.

What might it cost to list?

Possible costs include negotiated brokerage compensation, seller closing costs, preparation, repairs, concessions, and holding costs. A 6% commission may be discussed, but commissions are negotiable. You will receive the applicable agreement and an estimated net sheet before deciding.

What costs apply to a cash sale?

In an eligible Ready Realty cash purchase, the buyer may pay customary closing costs. The written purchase agreement controls. Review the offered price, buyer identity, proof of funds, escrow, title, contingencies, repair responsibility, and any other fees before accepting.

Can Eddy help with inherited, tenant-occupied, or repair-heavy property?

Yes. Eddy can help organize the selling decision when probate or inheritance, tenants, deferred maintenance, vacancy, relocation, liens, code concerns, or family coordination are involved. Legal, tax, probate, eviction, and title questions may require an attorney, tax adviser, escrow holder, or other qualified professional.

How is a home valuation prepared?

A useful market analysis considers nearby sales, active competition, condition, location, property features, and current market conditions. It is not an appraisal. A cash evaluation may also consider repairs, resale assumptions, transaction costs, and risk.

What information do I need to provide?

Start with the property address, phone number, desired timeline, and main selling goal. Email is optional. Eddy may then ask about condition, occupancy, access, title, liens, mortgage status, probate, and repairs.

What happens after I submit the form?

You will receive an on-screen confirmation. If you provide email, you will also receive a confirmation message. Eddy personally reviews the request and responds within 24 hours during business hours, Monday–Sunday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m.
