From the first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

Step 1: Tell us about the house
Start with the Daphne address, the house's condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you have in mind. Tell us what you know about an estate, tenant, mortgage payoff, lien, tax balance, or notice. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We talk about the house as it is, including its condition, repairs, access, occupancy, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can discuss the choices that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
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 terms before you decide whether to proceed, compare another path, or stop before signing.
Step 4: Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the records needed for closing. If an estate or court matter affects who can sign, the title company identifies the documents needed for this sale. You can begin while you are still gathering records.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
The 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 takes place through the title company.

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.

Daphne and Baldwin County details

Alabama deed tax is part of recording the sale

Daphne is in Baldwin County. Alabama deed tax is paid when the deed is recorded with the county probate judge. The rate is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. If Alabama mortgage tax was paid on a mortgage or vendor's lien, the taxable value may be reduced; the closing attorney confirms the amount that applies.

The deed must include proof of its actual price or value. If it does not, the probate office uses the latest tax assessment. The closing attorney and title company can identify the documents and figures needed for your sale.

Closing numbers

Review how the sale money breaks down

The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. 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.

Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.
