2. The sale, step by step
From the first conversation to settlement
Talk through the property
Tell us what you know about condition, repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. If an estate, tenant, payoff, lien, tax account, code notice, or deadline is part of the situation, bring it up. You can start before every detail is settled. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
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 deciding whether to proceed or compare another option.
Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for settlement. Keep the statements, notices, and estate papers you have available so the title company can identify what still needs to be checked.
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 choose to proceed, the title company coordinates the closing. 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
3. Two ways to sell
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.

4. Useful local details
Grafton County recorded land documents
Lebanon is in Grafton County. For a recorded deed or other land-record question, the Grafton County Registry of Deeds is a local starting point. A record lookup does not replace the title review for a sale; the title company checks the documents needed for this closing. You can start the conversation while you gather records.
5. Closing numbers
Review the settlement figures and transfer tax
The settlement sheet shows the price, payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and money scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize. 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.
New Hampshire real estate transfer tax charges both buyer and seller $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of the taxable price. On a $100,000 sale, each owes $750, or $1,500 combined. Each party's tax is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a price of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 each. The closing professional handles tax stamps through the county register of deeds and the required filings with the Department of Revenue Administration, including any exemption.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate from that promise; the title company shows those figures for the sale.
6. 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.

How do the Cash Offer and EZ Sale choices differ?
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances.
