From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Martin address, the house's condition, who occupies it, access, and the timing you have in mind. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled. If an estate, tenant, notice, payoff, lien, back-tax account, or move deadline is part of the situation, tell us what you know so far.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We ask about the house as it stands, including condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We talk through the sale choices that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. 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 before you decide whether to proceed.
Step 4: Let the title company check ownership and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks 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 for money against the property. Share the statements or notices you have so the right questions can be identified.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
The 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.

Martin and Weakley County details
Check which local office handles the question
Martin and Weakley County have separate city and county processes. The county lists Martin as one of its municipalities, and its building-permit instructions direct properties inside Martin city limits to City Hall. A Martin mailing address alone does not establish which jurisdiction handles a property question; check the actual address with the relevant office.

Closing numbers
See how the settlement figures add up
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, other listed charges, and the amount scheduled for disbursement.
Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax when the deed is recorded. The rate is 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property's value, whichever is greater; a $100,000 taxable amount comes to $370. The buyer is responsible for this state tax by law, and the county register of deeds collects it. Some transfers are exempt; the title company can check whether an exemption applies to your sale. Read the Tennessee Department of Revenue's recordation-tax information ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
