From the first conversation to closing
The sale, step by step
Start with the house and what you know
The first conversation can start before every property question is settled. Tell us what you already know about the address and situation; we can talk through the rest with the house and your plans in view.
Talk through the property and your options
We ask about the house, its condition, occupancy, access, and timing, then review it as it stands. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can compare a direct sale with EZ Sale, listing, or another option so you can decide what fits.
Read the written offer and terms before deciding
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 terms. No obligation. You choose whether to proceed.
Work through title, authority, and payoffs
If you choose to move forward, the sale closes through a title company. The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate settlement items.
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.
What you can expect at settlement
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
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.

McMinnville and Warren County
Check the records for the property itself
McMinnville is Warren County's county seat, but a McMinnville mailing address alone does not show whether a property is inside city limits. The City GIS maps can show city limits and property boundaries, while the Warren County Property Assessor handles county assessment records.
Before the signatures
Review the settlement figures and Tennessee tax
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage and other payoffs, liens, taxes, closing 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.
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; state law assigns the tax to the buyer, and the county Register of Deeds collects it for the state. 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 settlement items.
When the process gets difficult
We stay with the process
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.
