Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Bought a house in Southern CA. Seller had 48 hours to leave after Close of Escrow. It has now been three days and they do not appear to be moving. What can/should we do now. We keep being told they will be out "any" time now.

You might serve them with a three-day notice to quit, and then file an unlawful detainer action to get them out. Typically, it is part of the purchase agreement that the property will be vacant before escrow closes.

It's called eviction. Hire an eviction service or attorney to do so if you don't know how to do it yourself.
