From the first conversation to closing

The sale, step by step

Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Kill Devil Hills address and what you know about the house: its condition, who lives there, access, and timing. If an estate, tenant, notice, payoff, lien, or move deadline is part of the situation, we can talk it through while some details are still unknown.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We ask practical questions about repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing, then look at the house as it sits. We buy houses as-is, so you do not need to repair, clean, or clear it out to sell to us. We can compare a Cash Offer or EZ Sale with listing or another path.
Step 3: Read the offer and terms before deciding
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before deciding whether to go ahead.
Step 4: Work through title, signing authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or another obligation; a lien is a claim against the property. We work through questions with the title company so the sale terms and closing figures reflect the property.
Step 5: Choose whether to proceed and close
You decide whether to proceed after reviewing the written terms. If you go ahead, the closing takes place through a title company.

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.

Local closing detail

Review the settlement figures and North Carolina deed tax

The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. 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.

North Carolina charges an excise tax on conveyances when a deed transfers real estate, unless an exemption applies. State law assigns payment to the seller before the deed is recorded with the county Register of Deeds. Read G.S. 105-228.30 on the excise tax.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances.

Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.

When things get difficult

We keep working through the bumps

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.

Questions about the sale process

Can I start before I know every detail about the house?

Yes. Start with the address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, and timing. We can talk through what is known and what still needs to be checked.

What are the Cash Offer and EZ Sale choices?

What will the settlement sheet show?

It lays out the sale price, payoff amounts, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. We can walk through any line you want explained.

Do the closing costs you pay cover my mortgage or back taxes?

No. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
