Why sell your Sacramento house with SellMyHouse.co
Here’s what a cash sale looks like compared to a traditional Sacramento listing.
-
No traditional lender requirements. When a buyer uses a traditional mortgage, the lender may require flood insurance or other measures for properties in certain flood or levee zones. A cash buyer isn’t relying on that type of mortgage approval.
-
No repairs required. Cash home buyers purchase as is. You don’t need to update, repair, or stage anything before getting an offer.
-
No commissions. There are no agent commissions when you sell through SellMyHouse.co.
-
No financing contingency. Cash buyers don’t depend on typical mortgage approval, so the deal doesn’t fall apart over a lender’s timeline.
-
Close on your schedule. You set the closing date, fast or at your own pace.
What Sacramento sellers need to know
Required disclosures
California requires sellers to provide a Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS), which is a general condition report, and a Natural Hazard Disclosure (NHD) which covers environmental risks. In Sacramento, the NHD has to identify levee flood zone status. Cash buyers review these disclosures and generally don’t require sellers to complete flood mitigation work before closing.
State disclosure rules
Sacramento sellers are subject to the same California state-level disclosure requirements, including the TDS and any supplemental county disclosures.
Levee flood zones
If your Sacramento home is in an area near a levee, such as Natomas or Pocket, the Natural Hazard Disclosure may show that the property is in a flood zone. A cash buyer can take that information into account when making an offer, without requiring the levee to be recertified first.
No attorney required
California is an escrow state, so a licensed escrow company handles the closing rather than an attorney.
Frequently asked questions
