Questions About Selling a House in Reno, NV

Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and payoffs, not the headline price. Compare a realistic listing plan with a written offer, including repairs, commissions, cleanout, bills while you wait, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. The numbers depend on the house and the written terms.

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.

Nevada's real property transfer tax is due when a taxable deed is recorded and is charged for each $500 of value, or part of $500. By law, buyer and seller are each responsible for the full tax; the contract can say who pays, but the county may collect from either one. The county rate and any exemption affect the amount. 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.

Often, yes, if the sale closes before the trustee's sale. With a deed-of-trust loan, the trustee can sell the house without a court case. The trustee first records a notice of default and election to sell with the county recorder and mails you a copy. The trustee cannot sell unless the missed payments stay unpaid for 35 days after that. If you live in the home, the notice must include information about foreclosure mediation. You have 30 days after it is served to waive mediation or ask the district court for it; asking 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 3 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 3 weeks. The sale can be postponed by an announcement at the sale. After three spoken postponements, any 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.

Yes. Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who occupies it, and the timing or question on your mind. A deed, lease, estate paper, payoff record, lien notice, or sale notice may help answer the next question, but you can call before everything is gathered.

A house with a lien or tax balance can be discussed, but a sale does not establish the exact payoff or settle every balance by itself. The title company confirms the property-specific figures and how they appear in the closing paperwork. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay when you sell to us.

Yes. You can start with the house and the papers you have. Before closing, the title company needs to confirm the recorded ownership and who has authority to sign from the actual deed and estate or court records.

No. For a property within the incorporated City of Reno, the county is Washoe County. A Reno postal name alone does not establish a parcel’s municipal boundary, so check the actual property location and governing office.
