If you’re thinking about selling your house for cash in Sacramento, you’re probably asking, “What happens after I accept the offer?” You’ve heard horror stories about delays and hidden paperwork — but here’s the truth:
Selling for cash doesn’t mean skipping escrow.
It just means escrow moves faster, easier, and with fewer headaches — especially when you work with a local buyer like R&H Distressed Properties.
We’ve helped Sacramento sellers navigate the cash sale escrow process without stress, pressure, or confusion. Here’s how it really works.
Why Escrow Still Matters in a Cash Sale
In California — including Sacramento County — escrow is required by law for any real estate transaction. That includes fast, cash home sales. Escrow acts as a neutral third party to:
- Hold the buyer’s deposit
- Run the title search
- Collect required signatures
- Prepare and deliver closing documents
- Disburse the money when everything’s ready
It’s designed to protect both sides. Even in a cash deal, escrow ensures the sale is legal, clean, and fully recorded.
What Escrow Looks Like When You Sell to a Cash Buyer
Here’s what it looks like when you work with R&H Distressed Properties in Sacramento:
- You accept our no-pressure cash offer
We open escrow the same day with a trusted, local title company. - We send in earnest money
That deposit locks in the deal and gives you peace of mind. - Title is reviewed
The escrow officer confirms everything is in order (liens, taxes, probate status, etc.). - You sign closing papers
We can schedule this at your home or electronically — no agents needed. - You get paid
As soon as escrow closes, your cash is wired or handed to you — no waiting.
How Fast Can Escrow Close in Sacramento?
Traditional home sales in Sacramento often take 30–60 days or longer due to financing, inspections, and agent delays.
But with a cash buyer, you skip all of that.
At R&H Distressed Properties, we regularly close in 7–14 days. Sometimes faster, depending on your needs.
Whether you’re trying to stop foreclosure, relocate quickly, or just want to be done — we adjust to your timeline, not the other way around.
