2. The sale, step by step
From the first conversation to settlement
Talk through the house and situation
We ask about the property, its condition, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. If an estate, tenant, payoff, lien, tax balance, or move date is part of the situation, tell us what you know so far. You do not need every detail settled to start talking.
Review the house as it is
We talk through the house and your options. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can compare a direct sale with listing or another path.
Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed, compare another choice, or stop before signing.
Work through title and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Keep any statements, notices, or estate papers you have so the title company can check what applies to this property.
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.
Your side of settlement
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
3. Two ways to sell
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.
Swipe across the table to compare all four selling options.

5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement sheet and closing costs
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, other 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 payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
6. 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.
