Step 2 · The sale, step by step
From the property conversation to closing
Start with what you know
We can start the conversation before every property question is settled. We will talk through the address, condition, access, occupancy, ownership, and the timing you are considering.
Talk through the house and your choices
We ask about the house as it sits and the situation around it. We can discuss an as-is sale, listing, repairs, waiting, or another path so you can compare what fits.
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 any property-specific conditions before deciding whether to proceed.
Let the title company review title and payoffs
The title company reviews ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoff figures, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. Keep any current payoff statements, notices, or estate papers you have so the right questions can be addressed.
Go over the settlement sheet
A 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.
Choose whether to close
If you decide to proceed, the title company coordinates the closing documents and disbursement of the sale money. 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.

Local detail · Reno and Washoe County
Check the parcel, not just the mailing city
For a property inside the incorporated City of Reno, the county is Washoe County. A Reno postal name alone does not establish the parcel's municipal boundary, so check the property's actual location and governing office before relying on a city-specific rule. The City describes Reno as part of the Truckee Meadows on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada. Read the City of Reno's overview ↗.
Step 5 · Closing numbers
See how the money breaks down
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for you. Ask about any line you do not recognize before signing. The title company confirms the final figures.
Nevada real property transfer tax is charged when a deed is recorded and is calculated for each $500 of value, or part of $500. The applicable amount is part of the closing figures. See Nevada's real property transfer tax law ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nevada's real property transfer tax.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing-cost promise.
When things get difficult
We keep working toward the closing table
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.
