From first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

1. Tell us about the house
Start with the address, condition, who lives there, and the timing you have in mind. If an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, tax balance, tenant, or deadline is part of the picture, mention what you know. You do not need to have every answer before the first conversation.
2. Talk through the property
We discuss the house as it sits, including repairs, access, occupancy, ownership, and timing. We buy houses as-is; you do not need to repair, clean, or clear out the house to sell to us.
3. Read the written offer and terms
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions. You choose whether to sign, compare another option, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title and payoff details
The title company checks the property records, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and any estate documents needed for the sale. Share the statements or notices you have; questions can be worked through as the title review proceeds.
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.
6. Decide and close through the title company
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.

Niles property details

Start with the property address

The Niles market includes addresses in Berrien County and Cass County. The street address helps identify which county property records apply to the house. If a deed, estate paper, mortgage statement, lien notice, or tax bill is part of the situation, share what you have; the title company reviews the records and documents needed for that sale. You can begin the conversation before you have every document or answer.

Before settlement

Look at what the settlement figures include

The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask the title company about any line you do not recognize.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs; the title company confirms the final numbers.

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.
