If you’re planning to sell your house for cash in Bakersfield, you might be thinking: “Is escrow still part of the process?” Yes — and it’s a very important step, even when there are no banks or agents involved.
The good news? When you sell to R&H Distressed Properties, the escrow process is fast, simple, and fully handled for you. We’ve helped homeowners all across Kern County close quickly, without surprises or stress — and we’ll do the same for you.
What Does Escrow Mean in a Cash Home Sale?
Escrow is a neutral third-party service that handles the legal and financial paperwork of your home sale. In California — including Bakersfield — escrow is required, even for off-market or as-is cash sales.
Your escrow officer will:
- Secure the buyer’s deposit
- Check the title for liens or issues
- Prepare and finalize the closing paperwork
- Coordinate with the county to record the sale
- Ensure you get paid securely and quickly
It’s the final bridge between your accepted offer and cash in your hand — and we make sure it’s smooth every time.
