From first contact to settlement

The sale, step by step

Step 1: Tell us about the house
Start with the Salisbury address, condition, occupancy, access, ownership, and the timing you are considering. Tell us what you know about an estate, payoff, lien, tax balance, tenant, or notice. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property
We ask practical questions about the house as it stands, including its condition, repairs, access, occupancy, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We talk through the sale choices that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. 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.
Step 4: Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. If an estate paper, notice, or payoff is still unclear, start with what you know while the needed documents are identified.
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. If you choose to proceed, the title company handles the closing.

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.

Salisbury and Wicomico County details

Check whether the address is inside city limits

Salisbury is in Wicomico County. If you are unsure whether a property is inside the City of Salisbury, the city provides an address-based lookup. A Salisbury mailing address alone does not establish city jurisdiction, so check the actual address when a city-limit question matters.

Closing numbers

Read the settlement figures

The settlement sheet lists the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, other charges, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. 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.

Maryland's state transfer tax is generally 0.5% of the sale price. The amount for recording a deed is set by the county, and many counties also charge a county transfer tax. The usual starting point is an even split between buyer and seller unless the contract says otherwise; the settlement company can confirm the current amounts and allocation for the property.

If the buyer is a first-time Maryland home buyer who will live in the home, the state transfer-tax rate is 0.25%, and the seller pays that tax, the recordation tax, and local transfer taxes unless the parties expressly agree otherwise. Some transfers are exempt, so ask the settlement company to confirm what applies.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

That closing-cost statement does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Those remain separate settlement figures.

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.
