From first conversation to closing
The sale, step by step
Start with what you know
Share the property address and what you know about its condition, access, occupancy, repairs, and timing. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Talk through the house
We ask about the house as it is, who is living there, access, and the timing you are considering. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Read the written offer and terms
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Take time to ask questions and compare the options before deciding whether to proceed.
Work through title and payoff details
The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Tell us if an estate, payoff, lien, tax account, or other question is still open so it can be included in the review.
Close through the title company
When the sale is ready to close, the title company handles the closing documents and settlement. Review the settlement figures before signing and ask about anything you do not recognize.
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.

Before settlement
Review the settlement numbers
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down, including the price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and other costs. Ask about any line you do not recognize before signing.
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.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate settlement items.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

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.
