Selling a Bettendorf house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
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.

Iowa real estate transfer tax is 80 cents for each $500, or fraction of $500, of the price above the first $500. On a $100,000 taxable sale, the tax is $159.20. The person conveying the property, normally the seller, is liable for the tax. Some family, divorce, estate-distribution, and $500-or-less transfers are exempt. The Scott County Recorder collects the tax before recording the deed, and a declaration of value is filed when required.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
