Thinking about selling your San Jose house for cash? You might be wondering: “If I’m not using an agent or a bank, do I still need to go through escrow?” The answer is yes — and the good news is, with a local buyer like R&H Distressed Properties, the escrow process is quick, simple, and handled for you.
Even in a fast, as-is cash deal, escrow is still a key part of the process — but it doesn’t have to be complicated. We’ll walk you through every step and make sure your closing is fast, legal, and stress-free.
Why Escrow Matters in a San Jose Cash Sale
In California, escrow is legally required for all real estate transactions, including cash purchases. Escrow protects both buyer and seller by:
- Holding the buyer’s deposit safely
- Checking title and clearing any liens
- Preparing legal closing documents
- Coordinating signatures and closing details
- Recording the transaction with Santa Clara County
It’s a safeguard — and with the right team, it moves fast.
