From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Talk through the property
We ask about the address, condition, access, occupancy, ownership, and timing. Tell us about an estate, payoff, lien, tax account, or deadline if it is part of the situation. You can begin with what you know while other details are still being checked.
2. Review a written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. The written terms explain the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, and costs before you commit. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read them and ask questions before deciding whether to proceed.
3. Work through title and payoffs
The title company checks ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. If an estate or recorded lien is involved, share the papers and notices you have; the title company can identify what else is needed for this sale. A mortgage balance, lien, back tax, or property-tax allocation is separate from the closing-cost promise described below.
4. Review the settlement figures and close
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, payoffs, taxes, costs, and amount scheduled for disbursement. If you sell to us, 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.

Owensboro and Daviess County details
Bring local record and title questions into the conversation
Owensboro is in Daviess County. If you are looking for a deed or other recorded land record, the county provides a land-records page and an eCCLIX record search. These can help you locate records; the title company checks what is needed for your sale.
An estate, payoff, lien, back-tax balance, or court deadline can change which questions need answers before closing. You can still call or send the address before those details are settled.
Before signing
Review the settlement sheet and Kentucky transfer tax
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.
Kentucky's real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500—about 0.1%. For example, the tax on a $100,000 sale is $100. The grantor—the person conveying the deed, usually the seller—is responsible under state law, and the county clerk collects the tax before the deed can be recorded. Some transfers are exempt; recording fees are separate. Ask the title company which rules apply to your deed.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Those are separate settlement figures to review with the title company.
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.

Owensboro process questions
Can I start before I have every property detail settled?
Yes. Share the address and what you know about the condition, occupancy, access, and timing. You can start the conversation while estate, payoff, lien, or tax questions are still being sorted out.
What happens if there is a mortgage payoff or lien?
The title company reviews the payoff and recorded matters that affect the sale, then confirms the settlement figures. Our closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Do I have to accept the written offer?
No. Read the written price and terms, ask questions, and decide whether to proceed before signing. You can compare the offer with listing or another option.
