North County: Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos and Escondido. East County: El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, Lakeside and Ramona. South Bay: Chula Vista, National City and Imperial Beach. Also the city of San Diego. East County's backcountry has a well-known wildfire history: the 2003 Cedar Fire burned more than 273,000 acres and destroyed over 2,200 homes. That history still affects insurance in some areas.
The San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk (ARCC) records deeds and foreclosure notices and sets assessed values. For probate, the Superior Court's local Rule 4.1.2 puts the East, North and South County divisions into the Central Division. Filings go to the Central Courthouse, 1100 Union Street, where the probate business office is on the third floor. The North County Regional Center in Vista has only a probate drop box. In a few limited case types, North County residents may have a hearing in Vista by video link with the Central judge.
We make cash offers on San Diego County houses, including some in pre-foreclosure. Nothing needs fixing or cleaning first, you pick the target closing date, and closing costs are spelled out in your written offer.
San Diego County has a large military presence, so PCS orders often drive a sale. If you're on active duty and your mortgage started before your service, the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act generally requires a court order to foreclose during your service and for one year after. Your installation's legal assistance office or the CFPB's SCRA pages can explain the details. A cash sale can make sense if you can't be around for showings, but compare it with renting the house out or listing it.
At the Central Courthouse, 1100 Union Street, under local Rule 4.1.2. The Vista courthouse has a probate drop box, but cases stay with the Central Division.
Whether you're in Arizona, back East, or overseas, a notary can meet you where you are, and a neighbor or relative can show us the house.
Backcountry places from Ramona to Julian come up, and each one gets its own look. A private well, an old septic system, a shared dirt road, or trouble getting fire insurance can all change the numbers.
Often, yes, as long as the closing can happen before the auction. Share the date with us and we'll give you a realistic timeline in writing; the house can stay as-is.
