From first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

1. Tell us about the house
Start with the address, condition, who lives there, access, ownership, and the timing you have in mind. Mention an estate, tenant, code notice, foreclosure notice, payoff, lien, tax account, or move deadline if one is part of the situation. You do not need every answer before the first conversation.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We ask practical questions about the house as it sits, including condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Then we talk through the sale paths that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
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, compare another path, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. Bring any statements, notices, or estate papers you have so the right questions can be addressed for the property.
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.
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.

Dothan and county records

Check the county for the property address

The Dothan city-place touches Dale, Geneva, Henry, and Houston counties. That citywide boundary does not identify an individual property's county. Check the property record before using a county assessment or probate and recording office. The Alabama Department of Revenue lists county assessment and property-tax contacts. The City of Dothan's tax page describes a Houston County route for the City property-tax statements covered there; it does not make Houston County the office for every Dothan address.

Closing numbers

See how Alabama deed tax fits into the settlement

Alabama charges deed tax 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. With no applicable mortgage-tax deduction, $100,000 of taxable value means $100 in deed tax. A mortgage or vendor's lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid may reduce the taxable value; the closing attorney confirms whether that applies. The deed needs proof of its actual price or value. Without proof, the probate office uses the latest tax assessment, and penalties can apply. Tax and recording fees must be paid before recording.

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. The title company confirms the final figures on the settlement sheet.

Compare what you might keep after costs with the Dothan home-sale net-proceeds calculator. Change the assumptions to compare sale paths; the title company confirms the figures for your actual closing.

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 Dothan house to us

Can I start before every property question is settled?

Yes. Start with the Dothan address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. You can bring up the details that are still unknown during the conversation.

What are the Cash Offer and EZ Sale choices?

Which county office handles a Dothan property?

The Dothan city-place touches Dale, Geneva, Henry, and Houston counties, so the citywide boundary does not identify a particular parcel's county. Check the property record, then use the matching county office for assessment or probate and recording questions.

How does Alabama deed tax affect the closing figures?

Alabama deed tax is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. An applicable mortgage or vendor's lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid may reduce taxable value; the closing attorney confirms the amount. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

Who reviews the settlement sheet and final numbers?

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.
