What are the typical costs of selling a house in Fresno?
Traditional home sales in Fresno typically cost 8–10% of the sale price: 5–6% in agent commissions, 1–2% in closing costs, plus any repairs or concessions. On a $340,000 home, that's $27,000–$34,000 in costs. Cash buyers charge no commissions or fees.
Do I need a real estate agent to sell my house in California?
No. California law does not require a real estate agent to sell your home. You can sell directly to a cash buyer, use a flat-fee MLS service, or sell by owner (FSBO). Working with a licensed agent or a licensed real estate professional who is also a buyer (like Alder Heritage Homes) protects your interests.
What is the foreclosure process in Fresno County?
California is a non-judicial foreclosure state. The process typically takes 120–180 days from the first Notice of Default (NOD) to the trustee sale. Once the NOD is filed, you have 90 days to cure the default or sell the property. We can often close before the auction date.
How does probate work when selling an inherited home in Fresno?
If the deceased had a will, the estate goes through probate in Fresno County Superior Court. The process takes 9–18 months on average. If the estate was in a living trust, probate is avoided entirely. We work with estate attorneys and can purchase probate properties during the court process.
