Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to sell a large home in Foster City?
The best time is when you are ready. If you wait for the perfect market, you continue paying for space you do not need. EasyOffer gives you a fair offer regardless of market timing.
Do I need to declutter and stage before selling?
No. We buy as-is. You do not need to hire a stager, declutter decades of belongings, or make cosmetic updates. Take what you want and leave the rest.
Can I close on my current home and buy my new one at the same time?
We can coordinate the closing date to align with your new home purchase. If you need extra time, we can also offer a short leaseback so you stay in the property while your next home is finalized.
How do I handle the tax implications of downsizing in CA?
The IRS allows up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) in capital gains exclusion on a primary residence you have owned and lived in for 2 of the last 5 years. Consult a tax professional for your situation.
What if my house needs significant updates?
No problem. Many downsizing sellers have lived in their homes for decades and have not made recent updates. We buy regardless of outdated kitchens, old flooring, aging roofs, or other deferred maintenance.
Can you buy my home if it is in a 55+ community?
Yes. We buy in all neighborhoods including age-restricted communities. The community's HOA rules transfer to the new owner.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
