Questions About Selling a House in Anniston, AL

The sale price is not the amount you keep. Net proceeds are what remain after the costs and balances tied to the sale. Compare the written price with your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, share of current property taxes, and any repairs, commissions, concessions, or carrying costs for another sale path.

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. Cash Offer — USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. EZ Sale — goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. That is offer timing, not a property-specific closing date. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The written terms are where the timing for a particular property is set.

Alabama charges deed tax when the deed is recorded. The rate is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. A mortgage or vendor's lien with Alabama mortgage tax paid may reduce the taxable value; the closing attorney confirms that amount. 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.

Yes. Start with the property address, what you know about the house, and the question you are trying to answer. Tell us what paperwork you already have; you do not need a complete file before calling. If you choose to move ahead, you receive written offer terms before you commit, with a title-company closing.

Often, yes, if you close before the foreclosure sale. Alabama mortgages with a power of sale 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. 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. After a foreclosure 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. Redemption means paying the sale price, interest, and lawful charges; it is not extra time to stay in the house. Check the actual notice and sale date promptly.
