~7–60 days★ What Sellers Ask Most
Belongings, Rent-Back & What the Offer Covers
What about furniture, clutter, or junk?
You do not need to empty the house or make repairs. If you want to leave unwanted furniture, appliances, clutter, or junk behind, that’s fine — we buy as-is and handle cleanout after closing. Take anything you still want; leave the rest.
Need more time after closing? (Rent-back)
Sometimes sellers want to close the sale for peace of mind, then finish packing or wait on a new place. In those cases we may discuss a short rent-back: you close the sale, may stay in the home temporarily under written terms we agree on together, receive most of your proceeds at closing, and the remainder is typically released from escrow when you move out as agreed.
Rent-back details are case-by-case and must be documented in writing. This is not legal advice — ask us (and your own advisor if you have one) before relying on any occupancy arrangement.

★ Quick FAQ
Before You Decide
Are you a wholesaler?
No. We are a direct cash buyer. We purchase the home ourselves — we do not assign your contract to another buyer for a fee.
How fast is the cash offer?
Usually within 24 hours once we have what we need. Call (530) 999-7694 or use the form on this page.
Do I pay commissions or closing costs to you?
You pay $0 agent commissions to NorCal Home Offer. We typically cover buyer-side closing costs. Mortgage payoff and prorated taxes still come out of proceeds if owed.
Can I leave belongings behind?
Yes. Buy as-is. Leave unwanted furniture or junk — we handle cleanout. Take what you want to keep.
Can I stay after closing?
Sometimes. A short rent-back may be possible so you close first and move out later under written terms. Most proceeds at closing; remainder typically released from escrow on move-out as agreed. Not legal advice — we’ll discuss your situation carefully.
Who does escrow and title?
Local companies such as Fidelity National Title or First American Title — a neutral third party handles closing.
How fast can we close?
As fast as about 7 days in many cases, or on your timeline — often up to about 60 days.
