## California Real Estate Regulations Reference

### CA DRE Licensing
California Business and Professions Code Section 10130 requires a DRE license for anyone who negotiates or executes real estate transactions for compensation on behalf of others. FastCashBuy LA operates as a direct buyer under CA DRE Broker License #02087654 (Carlos M. Rivera, active). License verification: dre.ca.gov. All transactions close at licensed CA escrow companies regulated by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI, dfpi.ca.gov).

### Foreclosure Law
California non-judicial foreclosure requires a minimum 111 days from Notice of Default (NOD) recording to trustee sale (CA Civil Code Section 2924). Homeowners may cure default up to 5 business days before the scheduled sale. FastCashBuy can purchase during any stage of this timeline provided sufficient equity exists to satisfy the lien.

### Probate and Estate Sales
California probate is governed by the California Probate Code. The LA Superior Court (spring-mosk-courthouse, 111 N. Hill Street) handles LA County estate cases. Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA) allows sales without court confirmation in qualifying estates. Court-confirmed sales require published notice and a 15-day overbid period. FastCashBuy coordinates with probate attorneys on both IAEA and court-confirmation closings.

### Tenant Protections
The Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (LAMC Section 151.00 et seq.) covers most multi-unit buildings built before October 1, 1978. Just-cause eviction requirements apply per LAMC 151.09. AB 1482 (CA Tenant Protection Act of 2019) covers additional single-family and multi-unit rentals. FastCashBuy LA purchases tenant-occupied properties in compliance with all applicable ordinances, assuming landlord obligations at recording.
