From the first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

1. Tell us about the house
Start with the Mayfield address, the house's condition, who lives there, access, ownership, and the timing you have in mind. If an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, tax account, tenant, or notice is part of the situation, tell us what you know. You can start before every property question is settled.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We ask practical questions 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 paths that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
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, compare another path, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. Bring any current statements, notices, or estate papers you have. If something is still unknown, start with what you know while the needed records are identified.
5. Review the settlement sheet
It shows how the sale money breaks down, including the 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.
6. Decide and close through the title company
You decide whether to proceed, compare another sale path, or stop before signing. If you proceed, sign the final papers through the title company and follow its instructions for receiving the sale money.
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.

Mayfield and Graves County details

Find the right local property record

Graves County Clerk records include deeds, mortgages, and other land documents, and the County Clerk page also lists delinquent real-estate-tax service information. The Graves County PVA provides assessment and property information; its portal directs tax-bill-copy questions to the County Sheriff. Mayfield's City property-tax payment route is separate from County records. Check the parcel and bill with the office responsible for that record; these local pages do not establish a balance or a lien on a particular house.

Closing numbers

See how the settlement figures add up

Kentucky's real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. The seller, called the grantor in the statute, owes it by law, and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Taxable value includes the full price paid, including any liens the buyer takes over. Some transfers are exempt, so the title company can check whether an exemption applies to your sale. Recording fees are separate. See Kentucky Revised Statutes § 142.050, real estate transfer tax ↗.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.

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 selling a Mayfield house

Can I start before every question about the house is settled?

Yes. Start with the Mayfield address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, ownership, or timing. You can raise the details that are still unknown during the conversation.

Do I need to repair or clean the house before selling to you?

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

What are the Cash Offer and EZ Sale choices?

Who checks title, mortgage payoffs, and liens?

The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. Bring any current statements, notices, or estate papers you have; you can start with what you know.

Who pays Kentucky's real estate transfer tax when I sell to you?

Kentucky law names the grantor—the seller—as owing the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.
