Sell Your House Fast in Birmingham, Alabama — Cash Offer in 24 Hours

Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Birmingham, Alabama. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.

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.

The incorporated City of Birmingham intersects Jefferson, Shelby, and Walker Counties. A Birmingham mailing address or metro-area label does not identify the county for a particular parcel; confirm the property location before using a county office or record.

Often, yes, once the right person has legal power to sign. The probate court appoints a personal representative to handle the estate, and the court's letters show that person's authority. If the will expressly authorizes a sale, the personal representative can usually proceed under that power; otherwise, court approval is needed. If no estate is open, the heirs may be able to sell together, but everyone with an ownership interest must participate. Estate debts and a surviving spouse's rights can affect title, so have the closing attorney or title company review the papers.

Yes. A sale generally does not cancel the lease; the buyer takes over as landlord subject to it. Transfer the security-deposit and rental records at closing. Ending a month-to-month tenancy generally takes at least 30 days of written notice, and a week-to-week tenancy generally takes at least seven days; a fixed-term lease or other legal protections may require a different approach. Review the actual lease and possession plan before setting dates.

Often, yes, if you close before the foreclosure sale. A mortgage with a power of sale lets the lender foreclose without a court case. The sale notice generally must run once a week for three successive weeks in a newspaper in the county, or an adjoining county if none is published there. After the sale, certain people have a limited right to buy the house back, called redemption. For residential property with a homestead exemption claimed in the year of sale, the usual period is 180 days for a mortgage signed on or after January 1, 2016; other property and older mortgages generally have a one-year period. Redemption requires paying the sale price, interest, and lawful charges. It is not extra time to stay in the house. Check the deadline and your rights with an Alabama attorney. Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.

Alabama charges a deed tax when the deed is recorded with the county probate judge. The rate is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

Alabama municipalities can, after required notice and process, repair or demolish an unsafe building and assess the cost against the property as a lien. A sale does not erase that lien. Birmingham Code Enforcement directs code complaints through 311 or its portal; contact the municipality handling the actual property to ask about a specific notice, assessment, or deadline.
