The sale, step by step
Tell us about the house
Start with the Adrian property address, its condition, who occupies it, access, and the timing you are considering. You can begin the conversation before every property question is settled.
Talk through the property and your options
We ask about the house and review it as it stands. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can talk through a direct sale, listing, repairs, or another path.
Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed.
Work through title, payoffs, and signing authority
The title company reviews ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. The actual property records, payoff statements, notices, and estate papers help answer the questions for this house.
Review the settlement sheet and close
A settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers. If you choose to proceed, the title company confirms the final figures and coordinates the title-company closing.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
Two ways to sell to us
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.

Adrian and Lenawee County details
Estate, land-record, and lien questions
A house connected to an estate can be discussed before every estate question is settled. Before closing, the title company checks the actual estate papers and who has authority to sign. Lenawee County Probate Court provides a local starting point for decedents’ estate matters.
A recorded lien, mortgage payoff, back tax, or current property-tax share can affect the settlement figures. Bring the actual statement or notice to the title-company review; the Register of Deeds is a county starting point for land-record questions, not a substitute for checking the specific closing.
Lenawee County Register of Deeds ↗
The Register of Deeds records and maintains county land records. Those records are a starting point; the title company checks what applies to the specific closing.
Before the signatures
Review the settlement figures
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize before signing. The title company confirms the final figures for the sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
This does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Ask the title company which tax and payoff lines apply to the actual property and transaction.
Compare what you might keep
Net proceeds are what you keep after costs, not the sale price. Use the calculator to compare a listing estimate with a cash-sale estimate using your own numbers.

We stay with the process
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.

Who checks an estate, lien, or payoff question?
The title company reviews the deed, signing authority, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. For an estate, the actual case papers and signer’s authority need to be checked; you can start the property conversation while those questions are being sorted out.
