From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Start with the address, condition, who lives there, access, ownership, and the timing you have in mind. If a mortgage payoff, lien, estate, tenant, tax notice, code notice, or court deadline is involved, mention it. You can begin with what you know while other property questions are still being sorted out.
2. Talk through the property and the choices
We ask practical questions about the house as it sits, including condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We can talk through a Cash Offer, EZ Sale, listing, or another path. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
3. Read the written offer and terms
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions. Ask questions before deciding whether to proceed, compare another option, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title and payoff details
The title company checks the ownership record, who can sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, and the documents needed for closing. If an estate or another authority question is involved, the title company can identify what it needs; an attorney can advise you on your specific situation. Bring any payoff statements, lien notices, court papers, or estate documents you have.
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
Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale
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.
EZ Sale
Goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.
Both paths use written terms. Compare the written numbers and choose what works for you. To compare a possible sale with editable costs, use the Louisville home-sale net-proceeds calculator.
Louisville and Kentucky details
Estate and title questions can affect the next steps
This page covers Louisville, Kentucky, in Jefferson County. If the house is part of an estate, a court appoints a personal representative. The will may give that person authority to sell; if it does not, a court order may be needed. The title company or an attorney can check who must sign and which documents the sale needs before you rely on a closing date.
Kentucky's statutes cover appointment of a personal representative and the authority to sell estate property. Read the appointment rule, KRS 395.015 ↗, the listed representative powers, KRS 395.195 ↗, and the court-order process, KRS 389A.010 ↗.
Settlement figures
See how the closing numbers add up
Kentucky calls its real-estate transfer tax the real estate transfer tax. The rate is 50 cents for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500—about 0.1%. Kentucky law makes the grantor (the seller) responsible for it, and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Some transfers are exempt, so the title company can check whether an exemption applies to your sale. See KRS 142.050, Kentucky's real estate transfer tax ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from that promise. The title company confirms the final settlement figures.

When the sale gets 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.
An estate, payoff, lien, tenant, repair, or deadline question can change what needs to happen before closing. We will talk through the next steps with you and identify what the title company or another professional still needs to confirm.
Questions and contact

Who checks the title, payoff, or lien information?
