From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Start with the address, condition, access, who lives there, and the timing you are considering. Tell us if an estate, tenant, payoff, lien, tax account, permit question, or move deadline is part of the situation. You can start with what you know while other property questions are still being sorted out.
2. Talk through the property and sale choices
We ask practical questions about the house and review its condition as it sits. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. We explain the available sale paths so you can compare them with listing, repairing, waiting, or another option.
3. Read the written price and terms
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. Ask questions before deciding whether to proceed, compare another path, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title and payoffs
The title company reviews ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Share current statements, notices, or estate papers that apply to the house so the right questions can be addressed before closing. You can start the conversation before every answer is in hand.
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. If you sell to us, 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.

Hobbs and Lea County details
Check the right office for an address or permit question
If a permit question comes up for a home outside Hobbs city limits, the City of Hobbs Building Safety & Permits page says a Lea County Address & New Construction application must be approved before the City issues a permit. Lea County maintains the corresponding process. This is office-routing information, not a conclusion about a particular property's boundary or permit requirements.
Before signing
Review the settlement sheet and recording fee
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 county clerk generally charges $25 to record a document with up to ten index entries, plus another $25 for each additional block of up to ten entries under New Mexico law. The fee is based on index entries, not a percentage of the sale price. Check the current Lea County Clerk fee schedule ↗ and NMSA §14-8-15 ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate amounts settled at closing.
