Common Los Angeles Situations

We see these often. Each one has a guide with more detail.

You own a rent-stabilized rental

The city's Rent Stabilization Ordinance generally covers rentals built on or before October 1, 1978. We make offers on rentals too, so share your lease details early.

Selling a rental property

Your building has a soft-story order

LADBS requires retrofits for many pre-1978 wood-frame buildings with ground-floor parking. We can often make an offer on a building as-is, with the order still open.

Selling a house that needs repairs

Your home or lot was hit by fire

CAL FIRE counts 6,845 structures destroyed in the January 2025 Palisades Fire. We make cash offers on damaged homes and burned lots in many cases.

How a cash offer is put together

Your home sits in a hazard zone

Hillside and canyon homes may be in a fire, fault or seismic hazard zone. California sellers disclose these zones under Civil Code 1103.

What to have ready for your first call

You are selling a higher-priced home

City of Los Angeles sales above $5.4 million that close after June 30, 2026 carry the Measure ULA tax. A tax professional can estimate your total before you sign.

What a net cash offer means

You have military orders

Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo is the only active-duty installation in the county. We can often plan your closing around a report date.

Selling before a military move

You inherited a house

Under Prop 19, a child generally must move in within one year to keep a parent's tax base, per the Board of Equalization. We often buy inherited homes as-is.

Selling an inherited house

You are behind on payments

California law requires the notice of sale to be posted and recorded at least 20 days before a trustee sale. You can often still sell before that date.

Selling a house in pre-foreclosure

Cash Sale or Listing?

Both work. The right one depends on your timeline and the condition of the house.

California Rules Worth Knowing

The basics for selling a home in Los Angeles County. General information, not legal or tax advice.

County and city transfer tax

Los Angeles County charges $0.55 per $500 of value. Inside the City of Los Angeles, the city adds $2.25 per $500, per the County Registrar-Recorder.

Measure ULA

For sales closing after June 30, 2026, the ULA tax is 4% on sales over $5,400,000. It rises to 5.5% at $10,900,000 or more. The Office of Finance adjusts these thresholds each year.

Transfer Disclosure Statement

Civil Code 1102 requires the statement for most single-family home sales, including as-is sales. Civil Code 1102.2 exempts probate court sales, foreclosures and some fiduciary sales.

Trustee sale timeline

A notice of sale can follow no sooner than three months after the notice of default (Civil Code 2924c). Owners can generally reinstate until five business days before the sale.

Los Angeles Seller Questions

Straight answers on how a cash sale works here.

Who makes the offer on my house?

We do. Cash Offer Company buys houses in Los Angeles County. Requesting an offer is free and there's no obligation.

Does Measure ULA apply to my sale?

Only for property inside the City of Los Angeles that sells above the threshold. For closings after June 30, 2026, that starts above $5,400,000. Your escrow officer can confirm it for your address.

My address says Los Angeles. Which city tax applies?

It depends on the city the property sits in, not the mailing address. The County Registrar-Recorder lists its own rates for Culver City, Pomona, Redondo Beach and Santa Monica.

Do I need to fix anything before I sell?

Usually not. We often buy Los Angeles homes as-is, so you can skip repairs, staging and showings in many cases.

What disclosures do I give in an as-is sale?

Usually the Transfer Disclosure Statement and a Natural Hazard Disclosure. Civil Code 1103 says the hazard disclosure cannot be waived. An attorney can confirm what applies to you.

Can I sell a property under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance?

Often, yes. A new owner registers the units with the Los Angeles Housing Department within 45 days. Ask an attorney about tenant rules before giving any notice.

Can I sell a home or lot damaged by fire?

In many cases, yes. Tell us what was lost and what remains. Your insurer and a title company can explain how a claim or lien affects the sale.

How fast can I close?

It depends on escrow and title work. Many cash sales close sooner than a financed sale, and you can often ask for a date that suits you.
