From first conversation to settlement
The Crown Point sale process, step by step
Step 1: Tell us what is going on with the house
Start with the address, condition, who lives there, and your timing. If an estate, tenant, code notice, foreclosure, loan payoff, lien, or tax question is part of the picture, tell us what you know. You can start the conversation before every detail is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We ask about repairs, access, occupancy, ownership, and timing. 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.
Step 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. The terms lay out the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and any property-specific conditions. You can compare them or stop before signing.
Step 4: Work through title and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, and details needed for closing. We talk through occupancy, access, belongings, and your timing with you as the title work moves forward.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and closing numbers
The settlement sheet lists the sale price, payoffs, property-tax items, closing costs, and the amount scheduled to you. 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. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No fees No agent commissions when you sell to us.
Step 6: Choose, sign, and close
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. The title company coordinates the signing and payment. 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.
