Skip repairs, contractors, and showings
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You do not have to line up contractors, prepare the house for repeated public showings, or settle a repair plan before asking about a direct sale. We look at the house as it stands, so you can focus on the ownership and court-paper questions instead of coordinating those jobs.
Who can sign for the Seaford house?
Start with the recorded deed to see how the property is titled. A divorce agreement or court order may also affect how the property can be handled. The closing title company checks those documents and confirms which signatures and paperwork it needs for this sale.
Delaware's divorce law says marital property is divided equitably — fairly under the circumstances, not automatically in equal shares. That rule is about how property is divided in a divorce; it does not by itself tell you who must sign a specific deed. A Delaware family-law attorney can explain what an agreement or order means for your situation. You can talk with us while that review is happening.
Bring us the problem before everything is settled
If communication, access, repairs, contractors, showings, or timing is where things are getting stuck, tell us what is happening. You can call before every disagreement is resolved and talk through a possible sale; the deed and any court orders still matter before closing.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. Start with what you know.
What happens next
You do not need every answer before you call. These steps show how the house conversation, written terms, signing review, and title-company closing fit together.
1. Tell us about the house and what is getting in the way
Share the Seaford address, the house condition, who lives there, access or timing concerns, and anything you know about the deed or court papers. Start with what you know; nothing has to be perfect before you contact us.
2. Review the written offer and terms
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. You can read the written terms before you decide whether to accept.
3. Confirm title and signing details
The title company reviews recorded ownership, relevant court documents, and the closing requirements. The paperwork — not a guess about your family's circumstances — determines which signatures and documents are needed.
4. Review the settlement figures and close
The title company prepares the closing paperwork and settlement figures for review. Ask the closing team to explain the items for this property before signing.
Signing from another location
You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
