From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Talk through the house and your situation
Start with the Harrisonburg address, what you know about the condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you have in mind. Mention an estate, payoff, lien, tax, tenant, or deadline question if one is part of the picture. You can start before every property question is settled; tell us what is still uncertain.
Step 2: Review the property as it is
We talk through the house, access, occupancy, and the sale choices that fit your situation. 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. 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.
Step 4: Work through title, authority, and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. If an estate, payoff, lien, or tax detail is still unclear, the title company and relevant official records help identify what applies to this sale. A payoff, lien, or tax balance is separate from the company-paid closing costs described below.
Step 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.
Two ways to sell to us
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.

Harrisonburg city records
Start with the office for the property's location
Harrisonburg is an independent city and a county-equivalent, not part of Rockingham County. The City of Harrisonburg's real-estate and tax pages are local starting points for city property questions. The Harrisonburg/Rockingham Circuit Court and Rockingham County / Harrisonburg Land Records Division are additional official court and land-record resources. Which records apply depends on the property's legal location; a title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, and taxes for the sale.
An estate, lien, or payoff question does not have to be settled before the first conversation. Start with what you know, then use the official records and title-company review to identify what still needs to be confirmed.
Before settlement
Review the settlement figures and Virginia closing costs
The settlement sheet lists the sale price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask the title company about any line you do not recognize; it confirms the 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.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
The closing-cost promise does not include the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Those amounts remain separate settlement figures.
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.
