From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Tell us what is going on with the house
Share the address, condition, occupancy, access, and timing you know. If there is an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, tax balance, tenant, or notice, mention it. Unknown details can be checked as the questions come up; you can call or use the form before every answer is settled.
Talk through the property and your options
We ask about the house as it sits, who lives there, what needs work, and what timing matters to you. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not fix anything before asking us to review it.
Read the written offer and terms
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions in writing before you decide whether to proceed.
Work through title, payoffs, and signing authority
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. An estate file, recorded claim, or payoff can affect what must be confirmed before closing; the actual property records and notices matter.
Review the settlement sheet and close
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.
The title company confirms the final numbers. If you decide to go ahead, you sign the closing documents through the title company and receive the amount shown for you 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.

Local details that can affect the steps
Flint and Genesee County records
For an inherited house, a will or family relationship alone may not show who can sign. The probate appointment and case documents matter; the title company or the estate's attorney can confirm what the actual file needs. You can start the conversation while paperwork is still being gathered.
A recorded deed, mortgage, or lien can help identify a title question, but the record by itself does not establish the payoff or who may sign. The title company checks the property records and works with the lender or other holder for the information needed to close.
Genesee County has separate starting points for probate records, recorded land documents, and property-tax accounts. Ask about the specific case, parcel, or record rather than relying on a general address search.
Before the signatures
Check the closing figures for the actual Flint property
Michigan has state and county real estate transfer-tax components. The deed, property details, and any applicable exemption affect the figures, so have the title or closing company confirm the lines for this sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those amounts are separate.
Compare the numbers you enter for a listing and a direct sale with the Flint home-sale net-proceeds calculator. Change the assumptions to fit the house; it is an estimate, not a property-specific settlement sheet.
When the process gets 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.
If a court, foreclosure, tax, or other notice has a deadline, use the date and instructions on the actual notice and confirm what applies to that case. A sale conversation does not by itself change a court or lender deadline.
Questions and contact
Keep the next question local
Can I start before every property question is settled?
Yes. Start with the Flint address and what you know about the house. You can begin the conversation while condition, occupancy, payoff, lien, tax, or estate questions are still being sorted out.
What do I see before deciding whether to sell?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Who pays the closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate.
