In CA the BUYER is responsible for obtaining a smog certificate even if the vehicle was recently smogged e.g. registration was expired and owner needed to resmog to reregister. Smogging has to be done every other year and mailed in with the reregistration payment. BUT, in the past when finding a vehicle I would work out a deal where I would purchase the vehicle if the owner obtained the nedded smog certificate. This is good because the owner, if he/she knows the vehicle is in a certifiable state, would be willing to do. If you don't do this, once you buy it and go to get it smogged, the buyer is responsible for repairs if needed to get it smogged.
