From first contact to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Give us the address, the condition, who occupies the house, access and the timing you are considering. Start with what you know; you do not need to have every answer before the first conversation.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We ask about repairs, occupancy, access, ownership and timing, then discuss the house as it sits and the sale paths you are considering. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
3. Read the written terms before you decide
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Review the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs and any property-specific conditions. Ask questions, compare another path or stop before signing.
4. Work through title and payoff details
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes and the documents needed for closing. Bring any statements, notices or estate papers you already have so the right questions can be addressed. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a recorded claim for money.
5. Review the settlement sheet
The settlement sheet shows how the 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.
6. Decide whether to close
If you choose to proceed, the title company coordinates the closing. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
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.

Boone and Watauga County details
Check which office covers the property address
A Boone mailing address alone does not establish whether a property is inside the Town of Boone's corporate limits. The Town points owners to a zoning map for properties within Town limits. Watauga County has separate planning, tax, court and land-record routes. Confirm the boundary and the office for the actual address before relying on a local requirement.
Settlement figures
Review the settlement sheet and North Carolina excise tax
Read the price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, costs and amount scheduled for disbursement on the settlement sheet. Ask the title company about any line you do not recognize; the title company confirms the final numbers.
North Carolina charges an excise tax on conveyances when a deed transfers real estate: $1 for each $500 of the price or value, and any part of $500 counts as a full $500. By law, the seller pays it to the county register of deeds before the deed is recorded; some transfers are exempt. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

When things get difficult
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.
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”

Not necessarily. The Town points owners to a zoning map for properties within Town limits, while Watauga County has separate planning, tax, court and land-record routes. Confirm the actual address and which jurisdiction and office handles the question.
What happens before I decide whether to sell?
We talk through the property and the written terms with you. You can ask questions, compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale terms with another option, and decide whether to proceed before signing.
