Prefer to call? 888-274-5006
1. Tell us about the house
Start with the address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. If an estate, payoff, lien, tax account, tenant, or notice is part of the situation, mention what you know. Unsettled questions do not have to stop the first conversation.
You do not fix, clean, or clear out the house to sell it to us. Call with a question at 888-274-5006 or use the form to start.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Share the address and what you know about the house.
2. The sale, step by step
We ask about the house, its condition, occupancy, access, ownership, and your timing. We talk through the sale choices and what matters to you before anyone decides how to proceed.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Review the price, responsibilities, possession, costs, and timing in writing. Compare the choices and ask questions before deciding whether to proceed.
The title company reviews the deed, ownership and signing authority, mortgage payoffs, liens, and taxes for the closing. Keep the statements, notices, and estate papers that apply to the property available so the right questions can be addressed.
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. If you choose to proceed, the title company handles the closing documents and confirms the final figures. You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
3. Two ways to sell
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.

4. Useful local details
Mobile County is the sole county with area inside the incorporated City of Mobile boundary. That citywide boundary fact does not establish a particular parcel's county or title; confirm the property through its address and land records. Mobile County quick facts ↗.
The Mobile County Probate Court Recording Division handles county document recording and real-property records such as recorded deeds. Its office is at 151 Government Street, Mobile, AL 36602. The title company checks the records needed for the sale.
For local court contact and estate-administration routing, start with the Probate Court Judicial Division. Use the estate file or court notice to confirm the proper case and venue for a particular property.
5. Closing numbers
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, taxes, costs, and money scheduled for disbursement. Alabama charges deed tax when the deed is recorded with the county probate judge: 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or any part of $500. A mortgage or vendor's lien on which Alabama mortgage tax has been paid may reduce taxable value; the closing attorney confirms the amount. Proof of the actual price or value is required for the deed. Without proof, the probate office uses the latest tax assessment, and penalties can apply.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
6. When things get difficult
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.
7. Questions and contact
