From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Start with the address, the house's condition, who lives there, access, ownership, and the timing you have in mind. If an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, tax account, tenant, or notice is part of the situation, tell us what you know. You can start before every answer is settled.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We ask practical questions about condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We look at the house as it stands, and you don't fix, clean, or clear it out for us. Then we can talk through the sale paths that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
3. Read the written offer and terms
We put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed, compare another path, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title, signing authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. If the house is part of an estate, see our inherited-property guidance. You can start with what you know while the remaining details are checked.
5. 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 decide to proceed, the closing goes through a title company.
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
Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale
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.

A local closing detail
Confirm which county the property is in
Corbin's incorporated area intersects Knox, Laurel, and Whitley Counties, so the city name alone does not identify a particular property's county. We work with the title company to check the property records as part of the sale.
Closing numbers
See how the settlement figures add up
The settlement sheet lays out the price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Kentucky's real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. The law assigns it to the grantor—the seller—and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Recording fees are separate, and some transfers are exempt; the title company can check whether an exemption applies to your sale. Read Kentucky Revised Statutes § 142.050 on the real estate transfer tax ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.
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.
