Questions About Selling a House in Lebanon, MO

The sale price and the amount you keep are different numbers. Net proceeds are what remain after the costs and obligations tied to your property. Compare the written terms with your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and the costs you would take on with another sale path.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what needs work and what you know about the house so we can discuss the property as it stands.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get the written offer and written terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company. The offer timing is not a property-specific closing date; the title company confirms the closing details for the house.

Missouri’s constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on a sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Recording charges are separate: the recorder charges $5 for the first deed page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees set by state law. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Yes. You can call before every document is gathered or every detail is clear. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the question you are trying to answer. A deed, payoff statement, lease, or notice may help with a later question, but you do not have to wait for a complete file to call.

A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the trustee’s sale. When a home loan is secured by a deed of trust with a power of sale, the lender can foreclose through a trustee’s sale without a court case. The sale is held in the county where the property is located, with at least 20 days’ notice published in a newspaper and mailed by certified or registered mail to the owner of record. If the lender or someone acting for it buys at the sale, the owner can redeem within one year. To keep that right, the owner must give written notice of intent to redeem at the sale or within ten days before it, then file a court-approved bond within 20 days after the sale. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current sale date and amount needed. If a trustee’s sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

You can ask about a sale while one of these balances is involved. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs; that does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Confirm the actual balances and how they apply to your property before relying on a sale plan.
