From the South Bay to the Antelope Valley, owners ask for cash offers when a house needs work, sits empty after a death in the family, or comes with tenants. You can see a written number before you decide anything.
Covering Los Angeles County, including Long Beach, Lancaster and Palmdale.
Step 1 of 2
No cost to request an offer and no obligation to accept. We don't sell your information.
Step 2 of 2
Los Angeles County is a patchwork. The Superior Court describes it as 88 cities plus about 140 unincorporated areas, and the houses in them range from 1920s bungalows in the Gateway Cities to newer tract homes in the high desert. A repair list that barely matters in one area can change the math in another, so we look at each property on its own block and its own recent sales.
We make offers across the county, including Long Beach and the Antelope Valley cities of Lancaster and Palmdale, as well as the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys and the South Bay.
The Eaton Fire, which started in Eaton Canyon on January 7, 2025 and burned into Altadena, and the Palisades Fire, which burned through Pacific Palisades, Topanga and parts of Malibu, destroyed thousands of structures. Some owners now hold a damaged house or a cleared lot and are weighing whether to rebuild, wait, or sell.
If that's you, talk with your insurer, your public adjuster or attorney if you have one, and your mortgage servicer before you sign anything. A cash offer on a fire-damaged property is one option you can compare against those, not a substitute for the insurance claim. Owners who lost private coverage sometimes end up on the California FAIR Plan, which the Department of Insurance describes as a basic fire policy with coverage limits; that can affect what a future buyer can insure, too.
Most LA County home loans are secured by a deed of trust with a power of sale, which means a lender can foreclose without filing a lawsuit. Before anything is recorded against an owner-occupied home, Civil Code 2923.5 requires the servicer to reach out, or make diligent attempts, to discuss alternatives, and then wait 30 days. The first public step is a Notice of Default recorded with the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk in Norwalk. Civil Code 2924 bars the trustee from giving notice of a sale until at least three months after that recording.
Section 2924f then sets out the Notice of Trustee's Sale. One copy goes on the door, another goes up somewhere public in the city, the notice runs in a newspaper of general circulation for three straight weeks, and it has to be on record in Norwalk 20 or more days ahead of the auction. Under section 2924c, owners can generally reinstate until five business days before the sale, and section 2924g lets the trustee or lender move the date. Planning to sell before the auction? Share the date with us; we buy LA County houses for cash and will give you a realistic timeline in writing.
We review houses anywhere in the county. Whether an offer makes sense depends on the property and recent nearby sales, and some houses will simply do better listed with an agent. If that's the case, we'll say so.
Yes, you can request one for a damaged house or a lot. Keep your insurance claim, mortgage servicer and any attorney in the loop, because a sale can affect the claim and the loan payoff. Escrow handles the payoffs at closing.
Usually, yes. Documents can be signed remotely or with a mobile notary, and escrow handles recording with the Registrar-Recorder. If the estate is in probate, the personal representative signs, and court confirmation may be required.
No. A cash offer is usually below what a fully prepared house might get on the open market. What you get in return is no repairs, no showings and no agent commission. Compare your net proceeds in writing.
