From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us what is going on with the house
Start with the Monticello address, what you know about condition, who lives there, access, and timing. If an estate, tenant, mortgage, lien, tax balance, repair, or notice is part of the situation, mention it. You can start before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and review it as-is
We ask practical questions about the house and the sale choices. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not need to finish repairs or clean out the house before asking us to review it.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. You can ask questions, compare another path, or stop before signing.
Step 4: Let the title company check title and payoffs
The title company checks ownership, who can sign, recorded liens, mortgage payoff information, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. If an estate or another authority question is involved, the actual deed and applicable estate or court papers matter. A mortgage, lien, back-tax balance, or property-tax share is a separate amount to account for in the settlement figures.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
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 and 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
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.

Monticello and White County details
Use the local record that matches your question
For an inherited house, the title company needs to confirm who can sign; the deed and any applicable estate or court papers matter. For a recorded deed or property-tax balance, White County has separate offices. Start with the right local record, then let the title company confirm what applies to this sale.
White County Treasurer ↗
For a property-tax bill or unpaid balance, use the Treasurer’s official page and confirm the current parcel details with the county. The amount tied to a property is separate from closing costs.
Before settlement
Review the numbers and what you keep
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, other costs, and the amount scheduled to be paid out. Compare it with your written terms and ask the title company about any line you do not recognize.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs.

When things get 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.
If a notice, payoff, lien, estate question, tenant, or repair issue changes the steps, tell us what you know and bring the actual paperwork into the conversation. For specific court, tax, or legal advice, use the appropriate professional.
