Avoid repairs, contractors, and showings
A direct sale can take repair contractors and a public-showing schedule off the list of things to coordinate. You can tell us about the house as it stands; We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can talk with us before arranging repairs, cleaning, a cleanout, or a showing plan. The house and the practical obstacle are enough to start the conversation.
Who can sign? Start with the deed and any court order
The recorded deed is a starting point for how ownership is listed. An agreement or court order about the house may also matter. Those papers do not all mean the same thing, so do not assume one person can sign for everyone or that an order has no effect on a sale.
The title company checks the deed and closing documents and confirms which signatures are needed for this transaction. A New Mexico attorney can explain what a divorce agreement or court order means for your situation. You can talk with us about the house while those questions are being reviewed.
Bring us the problem before every disagreement is settled
Different schedules, a hard-to-show house, or a disagreement about repairs? Tell us what is making a normal sale difficult. You do not need to resolve every practical detail before a conversation about the house.
