The sale, step by step
From the first conversation to closing
Step 1: Start with the house and what you know
Share the Moscow or Latah County address, condition, who lives there, and the timing you have in mind. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property
We ask about condition, access, occupancy, and repairs, then explain what we can review. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
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. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, and costs before you decide whether to proceed, compare another option, or stop.
Step 4: Work through title and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed and who needs to sign, and gathers the payoff and tax information needed for settlement. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, estate authority, and any court or tenant issue are property-specific; the documents and applicable official process determine what is needed.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet
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.
Step 6: Choose whether to proceed and close
You decide whether to proceed after reading the written terms and settlement figures. If you move forward, the title company handles the closing documents and signing.
Your side of settlement
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.

Review the settlement sheet and property-tax share
The settlement sheet shows the price, payoffs, liens, tax items, other costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement.

Idaho property-tax bills are mailed in November. Payment is due December 20, or half by December 20 and the rest by June 20 of the next year. The Idaho State Tax Commission explains the payment dates in its property-tax guide ↗.

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.

Moscow process questions
Can I call before every property question is settled?

What does the title company review?
The title company reviews the deed, who needs to sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, tax items, and the documents for settlement. Estate authority or a court order can affect who signs, so the actual property documents need review.
