From the first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Clarksville address, the condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. If an estate, payoff, lien, tax balance, tenant, or notice is part of the situation, share what you know so far. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property as it is
We ask about the house, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can also talk through listing or another choice alongside a sale to us.
Step 3: 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 you decide whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title, signing authority, and payoffs
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or another obligation; a lien is a claim for money against the property. You can begin with what you know while the title company identifies which property details need review.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down, including the price, payoffs, liens, taxes, and other costs. 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.
Step 6: Choose, sign, and close
If you decide to proceed, review the final figures with the title company and sign the closing papers there. You can ask about any line before signing.

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.

Tennessee closing detail

Understand the settlement figures

Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax when the deed is recorded. The rate is 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property's value, whichever is greater. State law makes the buyer responsible for the tax; the county register of deeds collects it for the state. Read the Tennessee Department of Revenue's recordation-tax information ↗. See the Department's guidance on who pays and collects the tax ↗.

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 keep working through the bumps

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.

Questions about selling a Clarksville house

Can I start before every property question is settled?

Yes. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form with the Clarksville address and what you know so far. You can tell us which details about the house, a payoff, lien, or estate are still unknown.

Do I need to repair or clean out the house first?

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

How do Cash Offer and EZ Sale differ?

Who checks title, liens, and the mortgage payoff?
