If you sold a property in Hawthorne and let the buyer pay you over time, you hold a note. We buy the payments still owed to you, all of them or only some, and pay you one lump sum at closing. Your buyer keeps the same terms and simply pays the new holder.
The example on the right is a made-up Hawthorne note to show how it works: 28 payments made, 272 left. Your specialist prices your note from its payment history, the equity and the payer.
General information, not legal advice. Talk with a California real estate attorney about your own situation.
When you sell a note, the mortgage, deed of trust or contract is assigned to the buyer, and the assignment is recorded with the same county office that recorded the original. Hawthorne is in Los Angeles County, in the South Bay.

A note specialist reviews the payment history, the property and the payer, then sends you a written offer for all or part of the note.
Closing runs through a title company or attorney. You receive one lump sum, and your borrower is told where to send future payments.

A note is only as strong as the property and the market behind it. These are the numbers a note buyer looks at for Hawthorne:
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-year estimates (2020–2024 unless noted), via Data USA.
What it means for you: Hawthorne’s median home value has risen sharply since the 2017–2021 survey, so notes on Hawthorne property usually have a large equity cushion. Because California bars deficiency judgments on seller carry-back notes, that equity is exactly what a buyer prices. With nearly three of every four households renting, notes on rental and multi-unit properties are common here.
Yes: in Hawthorne, Lawndale, Gardena, Inglewood, El Segundo and the rest of the South Bay, across Los Angeles County, and anywhere else in California.
Often, yes. Send us the land sale contract and the payment history and we’ll review it. A land sale contract that’s properly recorded, with clean payment records, is worth the most.
California owner-financed sales are almost always secured by a deed of trust. On a default, a notice of default is recorded first; at least three months must pass before the notice of sale, which is posted, published and recorded at least 20 days before the sale (Civ. Code §§ 2924, 2924f).
No. The property has to be in or around Hawthorne; you can live anywhere. Closings run through a title company or attorney, and documents can be signed with a mobile notary.
It depends on the balance, the interest rate, the payment history, the equity in the property and the payer’s credit. A note specialist reviews those and sends you a written offer. The quote is free and there’s no obligation.
This is the form the “Get my cash offer” buttons lead to. Fill in what you know about your Hawthorne note; you don’t need every detail to start. A note specialist reviews it and calls you with a written offer. No cost, no obligation.
