Sell Your Los Angeles House Fast, As-Is
Top Cash Offer In USA connects Los Angeles homeowners with local cash home buyers who know LA County. Whether the house is in South LA, Boyle Heights, Highland Park, Van Nuys, North Hollywood, Pacoima, Sylmar, San Pedro or Wilmington, or out in Inglewood, Compton, Downey or Palmdale, send us the address and a buyer who works in your part of the county reviews it and makes you a cash offer, usually within 24 hours.
A 1920s bungalow with original wiring, a duplex with tenants still in it, a house you inherited from a parent, a home with an unpermitted garage conversion, a property that no longer fits after a divorce or a job change: buyers look at all of them as they are. You pick the closing date, skip the repairs and showings, and pay no agent commission. If the offer doesn’t work for you, you owe nothing.

Selling a House in Los Angeles: What to Know
Los Angeles is California’s largest city and the seat of Los Angeles County. Many addresses that say “Los Angeles” are in another city or in unincorporated county land, and that matters for your sale: the city your parcel is in decides whether a city transfer tax applies on top of the county tax.
- California sales close through escrow. In Los Angeles County the escrow fee is customarily split between buyer and seller, and the seller customarily pays for the buyer’s owner’s title policy. Custom isn’t law, so the purchase contract decides.
- The county documentary transfer tax is $1.10 per $1,000 of the price, and in LA County the seller customarily pays it. Inside the City of Los Angeles there is also a city tax of $4.50 per $1,000. Since July 1, 2026, sales above $5.4 million add 4% (and 5.5% at $10.9 million or more) under Measure ULA. On a $700,000 house inside the city, the county and city taxes together come to $3,920.
- LA County property taxes are paid in two installments: the first is due November 1 and late after December 10, the second is due February 1 and late after April 10. The escrow officer prorates them on your closing statement.
- Most California foreclosures are non-judicial trustee sales. The lender records a notice of default, at least three months must pass before a notice of sale, and the sale can’t happen earlier than three months and 20 days after the notice of default was recorded. You can sell any time before the trustee sale, and selling first is usually the better way to keep your equity.
- Sellers of homes with one to four units generally must give the buyer a Transfer Disclosure Statement. An “as-is” sale doesn’t waive it, so be honest about what you know: a cash buyer is pricing the condition anyway.
- Worried about deed fraud on a vacant or inherited house? LA County’s Homeowner Notification Program mails you a copy when a deed, a loan, a notice of default or a notice of sale is recorded on your property, and you can get email alerts by opting in on the County Assessor’s portal.
More detail on the statewide process is on our California page. This is general information, not legal or tax advice; the escrow officer or your attorney confirms what applies to your sale.

When a Cash Sale Makes Sense in Los Angeles
Listing a Los Angeles home with an agent can bring a higher price if the house is move-in ready, but it means repairs, staging, showings, waiting on a buyer’s loan and paying a commission at closing. Older houses with knob-and-tube wiring, foundation cracks, a failing sewer line or unpermitted additions often don’t pass a lender’s appraisal, which shrinks the pool of buyers. A cash buyer trades some of the price for speed and certainty.
Los Angeles homeowners usually call us when the house needs work, a notice of default has been recorded, they inherited a property or are going through probate, they are tired of being a landlord, or they need to move quickly for a job or a divorce.

FAQ
Selling a House Fast in Los Angeles: Questions
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Los Angeles?
You usually get an offer within 24 hours. If you accept, you choose the closing date: as little as 7 days once escrow and the title work are done, or later if you need time to move.
Do you buy houses in every part of Los Angeles?
Yes, from South LA, Boyle Heights and Highland Park to Van Nuys, Pacoima, Sylmar, San Pedro and Wilmington, plus nearby cities such as Long Beach, Glendale, Pasadena, Inglewood, Compton, Downey and Palmdale. Condition and location don’t rule a house out.
What transfer tax do I pay when I sell in Los Angeles?
The county documentary transfer tax is $1.10 per $1,000 of the price, and in LA County the seller customarily pays it. If the house is inside the City of Los Angeles, there is also a city tax of $4.50 per $1,000, plus Measure ULA on sales above $5.4 million. Other cities in the county set their own rates. The escrow officer shows every amount on your closing statement.
Are there fees or commissions?
No agent commission and no fee for using our service. You pay the usual seller costs at closing, such as your share of escrow, any transfer tax and the payoff of your mortgage and liens, and the offer tells you how those are handled before you sign.
Can I sell my Los Angeles house if I’m in foreclosure?
Yes. Most California foreclosures are trustee sales, and you own the house until the sale. You can sell before the sale date, pay off the loan at closing and keep what is left. Call as soon as you receive a notice of default: a cash sale needs a few weeks for escrow and title.
Can I sell a house I inherited in Los Angeles?
Usually yes. If the estate is in probate, the personal representative can sell it, sometimes with court confirmation; if the house was in a trust, the trustee signs. Buyers and escrow work with both. See selling an inherited property.
Do I need to clean out or repair the house?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest. The buyer prices the repairs into the offer, so you don’t fix anything or pay for a cleanout before closing.
