This is a sale, not a lawsuit

Sell your share. Get cash. Walk away.

Stuck co-owning a California property with a sibling, an ex, or a partner who won’t budge? You don’t have to sue them, wait months, or sit across a table from them ever again. We buy your co-ownership interest for cash. Real money in hand now.

Sound like you?

If your name is tied to a California property you can’t get out of

The inherited house

You just want your sister to buy you out

You inherited a share of the family home. Someone else lives there, won’t sell, and won’t buy you out. You want your money and your peace back, without the holiday-table fallout.

The ex on the deed

You broke up but you’re still on title together

The relationship ended, the property didn’t. You can’t refinance, can’t move on, and can’t stand one more argument about what to do with it.

The stuck investment

Your partner went quiet and your money’s frozen

You went in on a property with a co-investor who’s now difficult, unresponsive, or gone. Your equity is locked up and you have no way to pull it out.

How it works

Three steps without litigation.

We buy co-ownership interests in California real estate. Here’s how it works.

01

Tell us about it

Share the property, your ownership share, and who else is on title. A few minutes, no cost, no obligation.

02

Get a cash offer

We review it and come back with a straightforward cash offer for your share. No fine-print games.

03

Get paid and move on

Accept, and we handle everything from there, including the other owner. You take the cash and you’re done.

Partition or sale?

Two honest ways out. Here’s the real difference.

There are two legitimate ways to get out of a co-ownership you no longer want, and for a lot of people, hiring a partition attorney is the better one. A partition is usually how you recover the most money. Selling your share to us is how you get cash now and walk away clean. Which one is right depends on what matters most to you: the largest possible check, or speed and certainty.

Recover the most

Hire a partition attorney

A partition action is your right as a co-owner in California. You don’t need the other owner’s permission, and the court oversees the process, which makes it fair and enforceable even against someone difficult. The property is sold at fair market value or one owner buys the other out, and proceeds are split by ownership share. A good attorney can often negotiate a favorable outcome and recover fees and costs, and most cases settle before trial. If your goal is the most money and you can wait for the process, this is usually the stronger move.

Cash now

Sell your share to us

Instead of pursuing full value through the courts, you sell your undivided interest to us for cash. You trade some of the value for speed, certainty, and a clean break: no lawsuit, no waiting on a court calendar, no dealing with the other owner. You won’t receive every penny of your equity, and we say that plainly, because the whole point of selling is getting money now instead of more money later.

When “money now” beats “money later”

A partition may put more in your pocket in the end, but “in the end” can be most of a year away. These are the situations where selling now is the right call, not the runner-up.

A serious or terminal illness

When your time and energy are precious, waiting the better part of a year for a court process may not make sense. Cash now can cover care and provide for the people you love. A larger amount many months from now is little comfort when what you need is money today.

A major, time-sensitive purchase

Buying a home, putting down a deposit, covering tuition: none of these wait for a partition to wrap up. Equity locked inside a co-owned property can’t help you close on a house next month. Selling turns that frozen equity into cash you can use, on your schedule.

An abusive co-owner you’d rather not sue

Filing a partition means becoming the plaintiff against your co-owner: naming them, discovery, and months of court-supervised conflict. If your relationship with that co-owner involves abuse, that prolonged, direct contact is the last thing you want. Selling lets you step out entirely and hand the situation to a third party, without ever being the one who sues.

Simply wanting it finished

Sometimes the value of being done (no more calls, no more shared decisions, no more waiting) is worth more than squeezing out the last dollar. That’s a legitimate choice, and it’s yours to make.

If recovering the most money matters most and you can wait out the process, hiring a partition attorney is usually the stronger move. If cash now, certainty, and a clean exit matter more than the last dollar, that’s exactly what we do.

Questions

Straight answers

Can I sell my share without the other co-owner’s permission?
In California, yes. A co-owner may sell their undivided interest without the consent of the other owners. You don’t have to negotiate with anyone to sell your share to a third-party buyer.
What is a partition action?
A partition is a legal action that lets any co-owner force the sale or division of a jointly owned property. It’s a co-owner’s right under California law and doesn’t require the other owner’s agreement. It’s often the best way to recover the full value of your share. To speak with a partition attorney, visit partitionattorney.com.
How long does a partition take?
Specialized partition attorneys commonly average 6 to 9 months, and sometimes longer, depending on the court and the parties involved.
Should I file a partition or sell my interest?
If your priority is maximizing how much you recover and you can wait several months, a partition action with a partition attorney is usually the stronger financial choice. If your priority is cash now, certainty, and avoiding a court process (for reasons such as a health situation, a time-sensitive purchase, or an abusive co-owner you’d rather not sue) then selling your interest for cash may be the better fit.
Why would someone sell for less than full market value?
Because speed and certainty have real value. Selling converts frozen equity into cash now, with no lawsuit and no waiting. That matters most when money today is worth more to you than a larger amount many months from now.
Do you buy interests held in a trust?
No. We buy interests where your name is on the deed, or where a probate order has distributed the interest to you. We do not purchase interests where one trust is still the record owner of the property.
