From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1: Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the Rolla address, the house's condition, who occupies it, access, and the timing you have in mind. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled. If an estate, tenant, payoff, lien, tax notice, code issue, or deadline is part of the situation, tell us what you know so far.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We ask practical questions about repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. We look at the house as it sits and talk through the sale choices that fit the property and your situation.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. 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.
Step 4: Have the title company check ownership and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a claim for money against the property. Keep the statements and notices you have so the title company can identify the questions that apply.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
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.
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.

Rolla and Phelps County details
Check which local office handles the question
Rolla is the Phelps County seat, but city and county offices handle different matters. City permitting and property-maintenance questions are municipal; county assessment, tax collection, recording, and court offices are separate county routes. Use the actual property address to check which route applies; this page does not determine a parcel boundary or tax district.
The City of Rolla provides parcel, subdivision, and zoning maps through its Maps & GIS page ↗. The Phelps County FAQ directs ownership, assessed-value, and tax-district questions to county WebGIS; see the Phelps County FAQ ↗.
For broad home-value context, Zillow's typical home-value figure is $241,193 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Rolla, MO). It is market context, not a value or offer for a particular house.
Before settlement
Read the closing numbers and Missouri recording charges
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, other listed charges, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. The title company confirms the final numbers for the property.
Missouri's constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. County recorders charge $5 for the first page of a deed and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees added by state law. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. Sources: Missouri Constitution, Article X, Section 25 ↗, RSMo 59.310 ↗, RSMo 59.319 ↗, and RSMo 59.800 ↗.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.

We keep working through the bumps
