Common situations in Contra Costa County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Probate for a Concord homeowner is handled by the Superior Court of California, County of Contra Costa, whose main courthouses are in nearby Martinez. A house held in a living trust usually skips this and is sold by the successor trustee.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Contra Costa County lenders almost always use a trustee's sale. For a Concord owner, the notice of default is the warning sign and the scheduled auction date is the deadline. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Concord property taxes are owed to the Contra Costa County Treasurer-Tax Collector; any delinquent installments and penalties come out of the seller's proceeds at closing.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
The City of Concord's code enforcement handles complaints about property maintenance, blight and unpermitted work within the city.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
A Concord eviction is an unlawful detainer filed in the Contra Costa County Superior Court; check whether state or local tenant protections apply before serving any notice. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.

Selling for cash in Concord: questions
My Concord house has foundation cracks from the clay soil. Will a cash buyer still make an offer?
Yes. Foundation movement is common in Concord and investors expect it. They'll look at the cracks and price the repair; you don't need an engineer's report first.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Concord?
California sales close through an escrow company, with a title company insuring the title; escrow pays off the loan and any liens before you're paid. Once you accept an offer, most Contra Costa County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
