13 most common questions

Anything missing? Pick up the phone — we answer ourselves.

Who is Golden State Cash Offers? +
We're a local Sacramento and Bay Area cash home buyer. For over 25 years we've helped California homeowners sell houses fast — without realtors, repairs, or commissions. We're not a national franchise or a tech-iBuyer; we're local people with local money buying houses in your neighborhood.
How are you different from a real estate agent? +
A real estate agent lists your house on the market and hopes it sells — that takes 60-90 days on average, costs you 5-6% commission plus repairs and closing costs, and the deal can fall apart over financing. We are the buyer. We pay cash, close on your timeline (as fast as 7 days), charge zero fees, and buy as-is.
What happens after I fill out the form? +
A team member contacts you within 24 hours — usually faster. We listen to your situation and goals, then schedule a quick walkthrough at your property (in person or via video call if needed). We assess condition, look at neighborhood comps, and present a written cash offer right away.
How long does the in-person walkthrough take? +
About 30-60 minutes. We tour the property, ask about any known issues, and discuss your timeline. We answer all your questions on the spot. If you can't meet in person, we can do remote walkthroughs via video call.
How many people will come to the walkthrough? +
Usually one or two of our team members. We don't bring photographers, contractors, or strangers — just the buyer.
What does the cash offer price include? +
Everything. We pay all closing costs, escrow fees, title fees, transfer taxes, and any other standard transaction costs. There are no hidden fees and no last-minute deductions.
Are there commissions or hidden fees? +
Zero. We're not realtors, so there's no commission. No listing fees, no inspection fees, no marketing costs, no closing fees on your side.
What is escrow and how long does it take? +
Escrow is the neutral third-party process where the title company holds funds and documents until the sale closes. For our cash sales, escrow typically takes 7-14 days from contract to closing.
What paperwork do I need? +
You don't need anything to get an offer — just your property address. Once we move forward, the title company handles paperwork. You'll need to sign documents (purchase agreement, transfer deed, etc.) and we walk you through each one.
When can I close? +
Whenever works for you. We can close in as fast as 7 days, or as far out as 90 days if you need time to find your next place. Need to stay in the home after closing? We often work that out with a rent-back arrangement.
Do I need to clean before I move out? +
No. Take what you want, leave the rest. We handle clean-out — including furniture, appliances, food, garbage, anything you leave behind.
What do you do with unwanted items left behind? +
We donate usable items to local veterans groups, churches, and community organizations. Unusable items go through proper disposal.
How many houses have you bought? +
We've purchased 300+ homes in the Sacramento and Bay Area regions. Most we renovate and sell to owner-occupants. A small number we keep as long-term rentals.
