Arizona Cash Home Buyers — Vetted, Local, Fast

Arizona uses a non-judicial process — no courtroom required, typically taking 3 to 5 months from the first missed payments to a completed sale. Arizona is a deed-of-trust state: the trustee records a Notice of Sale and can auction the home just 91 days later, with no court hearing required.

Arizona provides no post-sale redemption period after a trustee sale — you must resolve the default or sell before the auction date. If you're behind on payments anywhere in Arizona, the earlier you act, the more equity and options you keep.

Arizona allows informal probate for uncontested estates and a small-estate affidavit for real property worth up to $100,000 in equity (after a six-month wait), which can spare some families the full court process. For heirs, the practical takeaway: expect roughly 5 to 12 months of administration for an estate with a house — and know that in most cases the property can be sold during that window rather than after it.

Arizona abolished its real estate transfer tax by constitutional amendment — sellers pay only a flat $2 recording fee category, not a percentage. In a typical network cash sale, the buyer covers standard closing costs and there are no commissions — so the offer you accept is very close to the number on your settlement statement.
