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.

Who pays Nevada real property transfer tax on a Carson City sale?
Nevada charges real property transfer tax when a deed is recorded. Carson City's total rate is $1.95 per $500 of value or part of $500; on a $200,000 sale, that is $780. The buyer and seller are each responsible for the whole tax. They can agree in the contract who pays, but the county can still collect from either one. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nevada's real property transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I sell if a Nevada trustee sale is coming up?
Often, yes, if a sale can close before the trustee's sale. Nevada's deed-of-trust process can proceed without a court case. After the trustee records a notice of default and election to sell, the trustee cannot sell unless the missed payments remain unpaid for 35 days after that. If you live in the home, the notice must include information about foreclosure mediation. Within 30 days after the notice is served, you must either waive mediation or ask the district court for it; requesting mediation costs a $25 filing fee plus your share of the mediator's fee. If you file, pay, and serve the required request on time, the trustee cannot move ahead with the sale until mediation is finished. At least three months after the notice of default is recorded, the trustee can give notice of sale. That notice is recorded, mailed or delivered to you, posted in a public place in the county for 20 days, and printed in a county newspaper once a week for three weeks. The sale can be postponed by an announcement at the sale. After three spoken postponements, a new sale date needs a new notice. Nevada law gives no right to buy the house back after the trustee's sale. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
What should I have ready before I call about my house?
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and the timing or paperwork question on your mind. You can call before every document is gathered. Written terms come before you commit, and a title company handles closing.
