Compare the choices

Listing, selling directly, Cash Offer, or EZ Sale

A listing may fit when the house is ready to prepare and show, and you can wait for a buyer. Compare a realistic sale price with repairs, cleaning, commissions, concessions, mortgage and utility payments, and the time you may carry the property. A direct as-is sale gives you another set of written terms to compare without doing repairs or cleanout for us first. The asking price is not the amount you keep.

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.

Market figures are context, not a price for your address

Keep each measure with its provider, place, and period. A citywide or countywide number does not set a price for one house. Compare the estimates and selling costs for your own property.

Estimate what you may keep after selling costs. Change the calculator assumptions to fit the property; its result is an estimate, not an offer.

Local property context

Check the address behind a neighborhood or permit question

Daphne is on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. The City publishes an Olde Towne Daphne map and an Envision Daphne place-type map, with labels such as Olde Towne Core, Waterfront Residential, and Estate Residential. Those are planning labels for orientation, not a parcel boundary survey, zoning decision, or answer about one house. Use the property address when a location affects your selling plan.

Closing costs and deadlines

Check the deed tax and any foreclosure notice

Alabama deed tax

Alabama charges 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. A mortgage or vendor's lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid can reduce taxable value; the closing attorney confirms the amount. The deed must include proof of its actual price or value. If it does not, the probate office uses the latest tax assessment, and penalties can apply.

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.

A foreclosure sale and redemption

A mortgage with a power of sale can let the lender foreclose without a court case. The sale notice generally runs 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, some 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 and a mortgage signed on or after January 1, 2016, the usual period is 180 days; other property and older mortgages generally have a one-year period. Redeeming means paying the sale price, interest, and lawful charges. It does not give you extra time to stay in the house. A debtor or mortgagor still in possession must leave within 10 days after the purchaser's written demand or risk losing redemption rights.

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.

The notice and dates for a particular property matter. Check the current deadline with an Alabama attorney or the title company; a sale agreement does not automatically move a legal deadline.

Daphne building and permit questions

Baldwin County directs permit questions for property inside a municipality to that municipality's building department. Daphne publishes a City Building Inspection route. For a property-specific answer, share the street address with the office; a map label alone does not determine which jurisdiction handles a permit.

Probate court and recorded documents

Baldwin County routes Probate Court service through Bay Minette, while its Probate Office contact locations include Fairhope for recording services. Those are different functions. Check the County's current contact information for the service you need, and have the title company review the recorded ownership and any estate papers for the property.

Can I sell my Alabama house while it is in foreclosure?

Often, yes, if you close before the foreclosure sale. A mortgage with a power of sale lets the lender foreclose without a court case. Alabama generally requires sale notice once a week for three successive weeks in a county newspaper, or an adjoining county if none is published there. After the sale, some 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 and a mortgage signed on or after January 1, 2016, the usual redemption period is 180 days. Other property and older mortgages generally have a one-year period. Redeeming means paying the sale price, interest, and lawful charges; it is not extra time to stay in the house. Check the actual notice and deadline. 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.

Who can sign for an inherited Daphne house?
