Selling as an Absentee Owner
If you live outside California but own a house here, selling remotely is a common scenario for us. We handle the whole transaction from wherever you are — photos, offer, contract, and closing through a mobile notary. No flights, no property visits, no coordinating contractors.
When we help
Situations we handle regularly
- You inherited a house in California and live in another state or country.
- You bought a rental in California but moved and no longer want the headache.
- The house is empty, tenanted, or somewhere in between — condition does not matter.
- You do not want to fly in to manage a listing or cleanout.
- You want a straight cash sale you can close from your couch.
How it works
Absentee owner sale walkthrough
1. Send us photos or grant access
We can walk the house on our own if you cannot get there.
2. Offer and contract by email
No printing, no faxing, no wet signatures required until closing.
3. Mobile notary at closing
A notary comes to wherever you are — home, office, hotel. Documents are signed and returned overnight.
4. Wire to your bank at close
Funds hit your account by wire the same day the deal closes.
Own a house you never visit?
We'll buy it as-is, sight unseen. Everything remote.
