How long does it take to sell a house in California?

A traditional listing with an agent typically takes 75 to 120 days from listing to closing, depending on pricing and market conditions. Cash buyer companies can close in 7 to 14 days, but usually at a lower price than a traditional sale. Jessica can walk you through which timeline fits your situation.

What's the best time of year to sell a house in the Central Valley?

Spring generally brings more buyer traffic and can yield prices 4 to 6% higher than winter listings, since buyer demand rises with the season. Winter has less competition from other sellers, which can work in your favor depending on your home and neighborhood.

What documents do I need to sell my house in California?

California sellers are required to provide a Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) and a Natural Hazard Disclosure (NHD) report, along with other required seller disclosures. Jessica walks every seller through exactly which documents apply to their property before listing.
