Questions from Santa Monica sellers
We tailor each offer to the neighborhood. If you have additional questions, call us anytime at (424) 386-9273.
Do you buy rent-controlled properties in Santa Monica?
Yes, we have extensive experience with Santa Monica's strong rent control ordinances. We handle all tenant matters legally—Ellis Act procedures, relocation payments, and proper notice requirements. You don't navigate tenant situations yourself.
Can you buy my Santa Monica condo?
Yes, we purchase condos throughout Santa Monica including properties with complex HOA situations—special assessments, pending litigation, or restrictive CC&Rs. We handle all HOA coordination and can close despite issues that deter other buyers.
What if my Santa Monica property needs major repairs?
We buy homes in any condition—foundation issues, earthquake retrofit needs, moisture damage, and coastal erosion concerns. We factor repair costs into our offer so you receive fair value without fixing anything yourself.
How fast can you close on a Santa Monica home?
We can close in as little as 14 days, with most transactions completing in 14-21 days. Tenant-occupied or rent-controlled properties may require additional time for proper notice procedures and legal compliance.
Can you keep my Santa Monica sale private?
Yes, we offer completely confidential sales—no public listings, no open houses, no MLS exposure. Many of our Santa Monica sellers prioritize privacy. We handle everything discreetly from offer to closing.
