Your West Covina Home Sold As-Is: No Repairs, No Agent, No Surprises
You choose the closing date, whether that is next week or a few months out. We buy your West Covina house in any condition and cover the standard closing costs.
If you’re looking to sell your house fast in West Covina, CA, we buy houses here for cash, any condition, no repairs required. Mrs. Property Solutions is a cash home buyer serving Los Angeles County homeowners from our office in Pasadena, and West Covina has been part of our territory from the beginning. The city’s housing stock tells its own story: most homes here went up in the 1950s and 1960s, when West Covina was becoming one of the San Gabriel Valley’s first bedroom communities, and sixty years later, those same houses are carrying the weight of time. Deferred plumbing, outdated electrical panels, roofs that have seen one too many dry seasons. Maybe a probate situation that’s been sitting unresolved since a parent passed. Maybe a tenant who hasn’t paid in months. Whatever your reason for needing to move on, we can put a cash offer in front of you within hours and close on your timeline, often in as few as 14 days.
“Cristina is the real deal and delivers on her promise! She is very professional and the entire process went smoother and faster than I could have ever imagined. We went from her offer to the closing and money in our bank in just about 3-1/2 weeks. Plus, she very graciously made a charity donation in my late sister’s name. I would highly recommend you consider Cristina and Mrs. Property Solutions!”

Situations We Help West Covina Homeowners With
There are many good reasons to sell your house for cash in West Covina. Here are a few!
Inherited Properties and Probate
West Covina’s post-WWII housing stock generates a steady stream of probate situations. The homes that went up in the 1950s and ’60s are now being passed down, and adult children, often living out of state, are left figuring out what to do with a property that needs work, may have tenants, and is sitting in a probate process that California can stretch out for nine months or more. We work directly with probate attorneys, can purchase before the estate fully closes in many cases, and handle the entire transaction remotely if needed. No repairs, no cleanout. Just a confirmed offer and a closing date you control.
Major Repairs and Code Violations
With most homes in West Covina built in the 1960s or earlier, deferred maintenance is common. Galvanized pipes that have been corroding for decades, old electrical panels that haven’t been touched since the original build, foundations that have shifted through sixty years of Southern California summers and the occasional earthquake. None of it matters to us. We buy properties in any physical condition and factor every known issue into the offer before we sign anything. No repair obligations for the seller, no contractor parade through your home. If a property has open LA County code violations, those can be settled from your proceeds at closing.
When a marriage ends, the family home becomes one more thing to divide, and often neither person wants to take it on. Listing with an agent means months of showings, back-and-forth with buyers, and sitting across from each other at a negotiating table nobody wants to be at. We make a cash offer to both parties, split the proceeds however you’ve agreed, and close quickly. Neither of you needs to manage repairs, open houses, or the logistics of a traditional sale. Both parties with legal ownership must agree to the terms and sign, but from there, we handle everything so you can both move forward.
Foreclosure and Pre-Foreclosure
A Notice of Default doesn’t mean the home is lost, but the clock starts running from the day it’s filed. California gives homeowners a 90-day window before a Notice of Trustee Sale can be issued, and once that sale date is set, options narrow quickly. Under AB 2424, effective January 1, 2025, a signed purchase agreement can postpone a trustee sale by up to 45 days, which can buy meaningful time for the transaction to close. We move quickly, cover back property taxes and mortgage arrears from your proceeds at closing, and make sure you leave with whatever equity remains. Sellers should consult an attorney for their specific situation.
Problem Tenants and Occupied Properties
West Covina does not have a city-specific rent stabilization ordinance, but California’s statewide AB 1482 Tenant Protection Act gives long-term tenants significant just cause eviction protections. If you’ve been trying to sell a tenant-occupied property here and can’t get the tenant out, we can buy it as-is with the tenants in place. We understand how to navigate occupied properties and can facilitate cash-for-keys or tenant relocation assistance when needed. You don’t have to go through a lengthy eviction process before selling. We factor the occupancy situation into the offer upfront, and you receive exactly what was agreed on the contract.
Sometimes the timeline is the whole problem. You’ve accepted a job offer in another state, you’re moving closer to family, or you just need to be somewhere else by a certain date, and a three-month traditional listing isn’t going to get you there. We build the closing date around your departure, not the other way around. If you need to move before the house closes, a post-close leaseback can keep you in the property for a negotiated period after closing. We can also provide up to $10,000 in moving funds upfront before closing to help cover the costs of the transition. You set the date. We meet it.
How the Process Works
Step 1
Contact Us
Fill out the form on this page or call us at (626) 344-9579. Tell us the property address and whatever you know about the situation. We don’t need a full inspection report or a list of repairs. Just enough to start the conversation.
Step 2
Get Your Offer
We review what you’ve shared, sometimes do a quick walkthrough of the property, and put a written cash offer in front of you. No obligations, no pressure to accept. The offer is yours to consider as long as you need.
Step 3
Pick Your Date
If the offer works for you, you choose the closing date. We can move in as few as 14 days, or we can give you the time you need. You show up, sign the paperwork, and get paid.
The Honest Case for Selling Your West Covina Home Directly
If you list your West Covina home with an agent and it sells at today’s median value of $773,122, the commission alone runs $38,656 to $46,387 at the standard 5% to 6%. That’s before the cost of any repairs a buyer requests after inspection, the property taxes that keep accumulating during a 30-to-90-day escrow, and the real possibility that a financed buyer backs out and you start over.
A cash offer is not the same number as a listed price, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. The honest comparison is not offer versus list price. It’s the cash that lands in your account in each scenario after commissions, repairs, carrying costs, and time are factored in. For many West Covina homeowners with properties built in the 1960s, the gap between a listed price and what they’d net after a traditional sale is smaller than they expect.
What we can tell you with certainty is this: the offer we make is the offer we honor. We have never changed a seller’s price after the earnest money deposit goes into escrow, not once across 150+ transactions. What you agree to is what closes.
“Loved working with Cristina and Tricia. They were both so easy to work with, always picked up my phone call and made the process super easy. Highly recommend working with them. Breath of fresh air in the industry.”

Lynn K. needed to sell quickly after losing her sister during the process. We closed in 3.5 weeks, and Cristina made a charity donation in her late sister’s name at closing. Ace L. came to us with a fire-damaged property tied up in a squatter situation. What could have become a months-long legal battle resolved in under two weeks.
We’re a small team. You talk to the same people from the first call to closing, and we are local to LA County. That’s how we operate, and it’s not going to change.
“I am very happy with how Cristina and Trisia were able to help me sell my home! Both for what I was asking and in the amount of time we had agreed on. There were problems on my end with squatters holding up the sale and they were able to come up with fast and effective solutions that otherwise would have been a lengthy process and a legal battle. They were always on point with documents ready to sign and to answer any questions I had. Thank you both so much for making a stressful situation (house fire) into a smooth process, transition and transaction!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate a cash offer on a West Covina home?
Our offers are based on the property’s after-repair value, the estimated cost to bring it to market condition, and our wholesale fee. We subtract those costs from a baseline calculated at roughly 82% of the after-repair value. The offer is fixed at signing and we do not renegotiate after the earnest money deposit goes into escrow.
Do I have to make repairs before you buy my West Covina home?
No. We buy properties in any condition, including foundation issues, deferred maintenance, fire damage, open code violations, and outdated electrical or plumbing. The offer accounts for all of it upfront. You are not responsible for any repairs.
How quickly can you close on a West Covina property?
We can close in as few as 14 days in most transactions. The timeline depends on the complexity of the title and whether the property is in probate. If you need more time, we work around your schedule.
How long does probate take in Los Angeles County?
Probate in Los Angeles County typically takes nine months to eighteen months when handled through the court. If the deceased had a trust, or if the executor has Independent Administration of Estates Act authority, the sale may proceed without waiting for the court to close the estate. We work directly with probate attorneys and can often purchase before probate is fully complete.
Can I sell a house that is still in probate in California?
Yes, in many cases. If the estate has an executor with IAEA authority, or if the property was held in a trust, a sale can often proceed before probate closes. Court confirmation sales are also possible, though they involve an overbid process. We work with your probate attorney throughout and have done this many times across LA County.
What happens when I receive a Notice of Default in California?
A Notice of Default begins the formal foreclosure timeline. California law gives homeowners a 90-day period before a Notice of Trustee Sale can be issued. Under AB 2424, effective January 1, 2025, a signed purchase agreement can postpone a trustee sale by up to 45 days. The sooner you act, the more options remain available. Sellers should consult an attorney for their specific situation.
Will you buy my home if it has tenants in it?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied properties in West Covina. West Covina does not have its own rent stabilization ordinance, but California’s statewide AB 1482 Tenant Protection Act provides long-term tenants with just cause eviction protections. We can purchase with tenants in place and facilitate cash-for-keys or relocation assistance when needed. You do not need to evict tenants before selling.
What is the difference between selling for cash versus listing with an agent?
A cash sale closes in 14 to 21 days versus 60 to 90 days for a financed sale, and does not require repairs, staging, or open houses. You pay no agent commissions, which run 5% to 6% on a traditional sale. The trade-off is that a cash offer is typically lower than a listed price. The right comparison is not the headline numbers but the cash that lands in your account after all costs, commissions, and carrying time are deducted.
How much does it cost to sell a house with an agent in Los Angeles County?
The agent commission alone on a standard sale in Los Angeles County runs 5% to 6% of the sale price. On a West Covina home at today’s median value of $773,122, that works out to $38,656 to $46,387, and that is before repair costs, holding costs during the listing period, or any concessions negotiated by the buyer after inspection.
What happens to liens or back property taxes on my West Covina home?
Existing liens, delinquent property taxes, and HOA arrears are paid at closing from your proceeds. You do not pay anything out of pocket before or during the sale. The amount you receive at closing reflects the agreed purchase price minus any encumbrances settled on your behalf.
