Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Tulsa seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Tulsa house as-is if it needs repairs or a cleanout?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. If a city or county notice is involved, tell us what it says and who issued it; a sale does not by itself clear an order, fine, lien, occupancy restriction, or permit.
How do I compare what I might keep from a sale?
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Compare the written numbers with the costs and amounts due for your property, rather than relying on the headline price alone.
How do the Cash Offer and EZ Sale compare?
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.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Who pays Oklahoma documentary stamp tax and closing costs?
Oklahoma calls its deed-transfer tax the documentary stamp tax. The closing agent confirms the amount and any exemption on the settlement statement. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Oklahoma documentary stamp tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Can I call before I have every document gathered?
Yes. You can call before you have everything figured out. We give you a written offer and its terms before you commit, and the closing goes through a title company. Start with the address and the question or timing you are working through; the will, appointment, title, notice, or other paperwork can be reviewed when it applies.
What if a mortgage foreclosure sale is scheduled?
Send us the notice and sale date immediately. Oklahoma has both judicial foreclosure and a separate power-of-sale process when the mortgage grants that power. For a power-of-sale foreclosure, the mortgagee must send a notice of intent; the statute generally gives the borrower 35 days to cure, followed by a separate sale notice generally served and published at least 30 days before sale. A homestead borrower may elect judicial foreclosure by timely notice at least 10 days before the power-of-sale auction. A judicial foreclosure follows its court file and order; the power-of-sale deadlines do not replace reviewing that file. Confirm any postponement in writing.
Can an inherited Tulsa house be sold before probate is finished?
Yes, a sale can occur before the estate is closed, but the person signing and the will’s instructions matter. If the will directs or authorizes the executor to sell, Oklahoma generally permits the sale without a separate order authorizing it; the sale generally still needs probate-court confirmation before title passes, subject to a narrow statutory exception. If the will does not authorize the sale, an executor or administrator generally must apply to the district court for an order to sell the real estate, with notice to interested people. The will, appointment, title, and probate file need review before a closing date can be discussed. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
