From first contact to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Start with the address, condition, who occupies the house, access, and the timing you are considering. An estate, tenant, code notice, foreclosure notice, payoff, lien, or tax question can be part of the conversation; you can begin before you have every answer.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We ask practical questions about condition, occupancy, access, and timing, then talk through the ways you could sell. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
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 before you decide whether to proceed, compare another path, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title and payoff details
The title company reviews the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for settlement. Keep the statements and notices that apply to the house available so the title company can confirm what is needed for this sale.
5. Review the settlement sheet, then 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.
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.

Useful local detail
Check which local jurisdiction covers the address
This page covers the City of Paris and Henry County, but a specific address may be inside or outside Paris city limits. Use the City's zoning map and Henry County's separate GIS and property-search route to check the parcel, then confirm the right office for the property.
Closing numbers
Understand the settlement figures and Tennessee tax
The settlement sheet shows the price, payoffs, liens, taxes, closing costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize; the title company confirms the final numbers.
Tennessee charges a realty transfer tax when the deed is recorded. The rate is 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property's value, whichever is greater. By law, the buyer pays it; the buyer states the price or value under oath on the deed, and the county Register of Deeds collects the tax for the state.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Tennessee's realty transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
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.
