From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the address, condition, occupancy, access, and timing you are considering. Mention repairs, an estate, a tenant, a payoff, a lien, back taxes, or a notice if any are part of the situation. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and the sale choices
We ask practical questions about the house as it sits and what matters to you. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can discuss the Cash Offer and EZ Sale choices alongside listing or another path.
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 any property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title and payoff information
The title company reviews the ownership and title information and the payoff details needed for the sale. Share any deed, mortgage statement, lien notice, tax notice, or estate papers you have. If an estate, court notice, or deadline raises a question, confirm what applies with the appropriate professional or office.
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
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.
