About Sacramento County

Selling a house in Sacramento County

Sacramento County sits in California's Central Valley where the Sacramento and American rivers meet, and the city of Sacramento is both the county seat and the state capital. Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Folsom, Rancho Cordova and the unincorporated Arden-Arcade area are other large communities. State government is the largest employer, with health care, education, and agriculture in the surrounding Delta also important.

Sacramento County is the 8th-most populous county in California, home to about 1,611,231 people. Its cities and towns include Sacramento, Elk Grove, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, and Galt, and it covers 55 ZIP codes.

People in Sacramento County work for employers like State of California, UC Davis Health, Sutter Health, Kaiser Permanente, and Intel, and it is home to California State University, Sacramento.

Landmarks include California State Capitol Museum, California State Railroad Museum, and Sacramento County Regional Parks.

Sacramento County borders Amador County, El Dorado County, San Joaquin County, Contra Costa County, Solano County, and Sutter County. We buy houses across all of them, and anywhere else in California.

In Sacramento County, 48% of the housing went up before 1980 and 41% of households are renters. A house that age usually needs updating before it lists; we buy it as-is, with no repairs or cleaning. Landlords can sell a rental with tenants in place, and we pay the closing costs.

Whether the house is inherited, facing foreclosure, behind on property taxes or simply no longer fits, selling in Sacramento County starts with the address. The deed, any liens and the county's tax records are cleared through the title company at closing; the deed is recorded with Sacramento County Clerk/Recorder, and property values and taxes are kept by Sacramento County Assessor.
