From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Start with the Norfolk address, the house's condition, who lives there, access, ownership, and the timing you have in mind. If an estate, mortgage payoff, lien, tax account, tenant, or notice is part of the situation, tell us what you know. You can start before every property question is settled.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We ask practical questions about the house as it stands, including condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Then we talk through the sale paths that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
3. Read the written offer and terms
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed, compare another path, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, taxes, and documents needed for closing. Bring current statements, notices, or estate papers you have. If something is still unknown, start with what you know while the needed records are identified.
5. Review the settlement sheet
The 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.
6. Sign and close
If you decide to proceed, sign the final papers through the title company and receive the proceeds according to the settlement instructions. 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
Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale
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.

Closing numbers
See how the settlement figures add up
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask the title company about any line you do not recognize.
For a taxable Nebraska deed transfer, state law makes the seller responsible for documentary stamp tax, which is paid when the deed is recorded. Before January 1, 2032, the rate is $3.32 for each $1,000 of value or part of $1,000; after that, it is set to drop to $2.32. The taxable value is generally the full price paid, including a loan the buyer takes over. Some transfers are exempt.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.
When things get difficult
We keep working through the bumps
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.
