Oakland Market
Start with the condition of the house, who occupies it and when you need to move or transfer ownership. If the property is rented or inherited, check who can sign and what records the buyer will need.
Compare a written cash offer with a listing estimate. Look at what you would receive after payoffs and closing costs, along with the time and work each route would require.
Summit may buy directly or assign its purchase contract. Ask who would buy the property, how the purchase would be funded and what conditions must be met before closing.
Review comparable sales for homes near the property. Condition and occupancy can affect which sales are useful comparisons.
Share known repairs, inspection reports or contractor estimates. Ask how the buyer accounts for the condition in its offer.
Review who pays each cost and how those expenses affect your estimated proceeds.

Who We Help
Summit reviews occupied rental properties across Oakland. If you want to sell a tenant-occupied Oakland house, the property can be reviewed as-is with tenants in place, with access and sale terms agreed in writing. To make the review easier, gather the current leases, a rent ledger, a record of security deposits held, and copies of any notices given to or received from tenants. Before you sign, check whether city rules or registration requirements apply to your property with the Oakland Rent Adjustment Program or your own adviser.
If you are selling an inherited Oakland house, confirm who has authority to sign and what approvals are needed. Share the condition and occupancy for a review.
Share known issues such as foundation damage, old wiring or roof leaks. Ask the buyer to spell out inspection and repair terms in writing.
Oakland has seen significant fire damage in the hills and beyond. We purchase fire-damaged and code-violation properties that traditional buyers and lenders won't touch.
If you are considering a sale before an Oakland foreclosure, confirm the sale status with your servicer or trustee. An offer alone does not stop an auction.
If you plan to sell a vacant Oakland house, gather any city tax notices and ask how existing charges or liens would be handled at closing.
Confirm who needs to approve and sign, then compare the proposed closing and possession terms.
