From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Hannibal address, the house's condition, who occupies it, access, and the timing you have in mind. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled. If an estate, tenant, notice, payoff, lien, or deadline is part of the situation, tell us what you know so far.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We ask about the house as it stands, including condition, repairs, access, occupancy, and timing. We talk through what still needs to be checked and the choices that fit the property. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Step 3: 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.
Step 4: Let the title company check ownership and payoffs
We review title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority, liens, and taxes with the title company to identify what needs attention before closing. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a claim for money against the property.
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 proceed, the title company handles the closing paperwork and confirms the final numbers. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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.
