The short answer
Start with the property address, condition, access, occupancy, ownership, payoff, and the date that matters to you. We review the house as-is and put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. Compare that with the repairs, cleanout, showings, commissions, carrying costs, and time a listing may involve for this house.
Compare the choices
A listing can fit when you want to reach retail buyers and can take on the preparation and access. Compare repair bids, cleaning, photos, showings, inspection requests, commissions, concessions, utilities, taxes, insurance, and the time you may carry the house. The asking price is not the amount you keep.
Compare the written price and terms with repair work, carrying costs, payoff, taxes, access, occupancy, and title questions for this property. You do not need to complete repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout to sell to us.
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.

Mobile County is the sole county with area inside the incorporated City of Mobile boundary. A mailing address alone does not settle a parcel's city-limit, county, or record question; use the property address and land records to confirm which office handles it.
The City lists areas such as Oakleigh Garden among its historic districts and Africatown Historic District among federally designated historic areas. Check the City's maps and the actual address before treating a home as part of a designated district or planning work there.
Build Mobile historic development and maps · Permitting and inspections
Mobile Municipal Enforcement lists concerns such as substandard housing, dilapidated structures, high vegetation, junk vehicles, and other hazards, and directs residents to Mobile 311. That is a contact route, not a finding that a specific property has a violation. Check any notice and open permit for the actual address.
Paperwork, costs, and deadlines
A title company checks ownership records, payoff information, settlement items, documents, and funds. Ask for the written price and terms before you commit, and have the title company review the actual property and signing papers.
Start with the deed and any estate, trust, or court papers. The title company can check the recorded owners and identify who needs to sign for this property. For an inherited house, the Mobile County Probate Court has separate Judicial and Recording contacts; an attorney can advise on the specific estate or authority question.

Alabama charges deed tax when the deed is recorded with the county probate judge: 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. The taxable value may be reduced by a mortgage or vendor's lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid; the closing attorney confirms the amount. The deed needs proof of its actual price or value; without proof, 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.
Alabama Code § 40-22-1 · Alabama Department of Revenue recordation-tax guidance
Include the lease, who lives in the house, access limits, and the possession plan you want considered in the written terms. Check the actual agreement and any court papers before making plans about access or a move date.
Often, you can sell before an Alabama foreclosure sale if the sale can close in time. A mortgage with a power of sale can let 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. Check the actual notice and sale date rather than estimating how much time remains.
After the sale, some people may have a limited right to redeem, or buy the house back by paying the sale price, interest, and allowed charges. For residential property with a homestead exemption claimed in the sale year, 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 is not extra time to stay in the house.
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.
