Experience
We have seen a lot of different house-sale situations
Our founder bought his first property in 2004 — more than 20 years of buying houses.

Offer and closing
Written terms, then a title-company closing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
Signing from another location
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.
