Money and choices
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs tied to your sale. A mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. Compare the written numbers with a realistic listing plan, including repairs, commissions, concessions, and the time you carry the house.
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.

Questions about the two options? Call 888-274-5006.
What you keep depends on the written sale price and costs tied to your house, including a mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Compare those amounts with the repairs, commissions, concessions, and time involved in listing. The calculator lets you change the assumptions; it is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what needs work, who lives there, and anything that could affect access.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.
Yes. You can call with the question and the property address before every paper is gathered. We can talk through what you know; title, payoff, ownership, and signing details still need to be checked for the actual house before closing.
Yes, we can review tenant-occupied property. Tell us about the lease, occupancy, access, and timing so those details can be considered in the sale discussion.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts; this does not pay them.

Yes, we can review a house with code issues as-is. Check the notice for the office and any deadline, and tell us what is still open; a sale discussion does not change the instructions on the notice.
Yes. You can ask about the house while you gather the papers. The person signing and their authority must be confirmed for the actual estate and title before closing; the title company and your attorney can review the deed, estate papers, and any order that applies.
You can still ask about a sale. Who must sign depends on the deed and any current orders; have the title company and your attorney confirm the required signers before relying on a closing plan.
