Share the address and what you know about the house.

From first conversation through settlement

The sale, step by step

1. Tell us about the house
Share the address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. If an estate, payoff, lien, tenant, or deadline is part of the situation, we can talk through it. Start with what you know; you can fill in details as they become clear.
2. Talk through the property and your options
We ask about the house as it sits, including repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. You can read the terms, ask questions, and decide whether to proceed.
3. Work through title and payoff details
If you choose to move forward, we work with the title company on the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, taxes, and any estate authority that applies. We coordinate the sale details with you and the title company so the written terms and closing figures can be checked against the property records.
4. Review the numbers 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 proceed, you sign through the title company and receive the money under its closing instructions.
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.

A Tennessee estate question

Who can sign for an inherited house?

Tennessee real estate usually passes at death to the heirs or people named in the will, unless the will directs that the house be handled under the personal representative's control. The personal representative is appointed by the probate court. If the will gives that person control of the house or authority to sell it, the personal representative can usually sign; otherwise, the heirs or beneficiaries who own the house generally all sign the deed. The title company or an estate attorney can confirm who must sign for this sale.

For a Fayetteville property, Lincoln County's official office directory lists the Clerk & Master and Register of Deeds. We can work with the title company to sort out which records and signatures apply to the property.

Settlement figures

See what goes into the amount paid at closing

The settlement sheet lists the sale price and amounts applied to mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the funds scheduled for you. Ask about a line you do not recognize; the title company confirms the final numbers.

Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax when the deed is recorded. It is 37 cents for each $100 of the higher of the price paid or the property's value. State law makes the buyer responsible for it, and the county Register of Deeds collects it for the state. It is a state tax, not a separate Fayetteville or Lincoln County transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Tennessee's realty transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

When the process gets difficult

We stay with the sale

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.
