2. The sale, step by step

From the property conversation to settlement

  1. Step 1: Talk through the house and what is unsettled

    Start with the Springfield address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled. Tell us what you know about an estate, payoff, lien, tax account, tenant, or notice; unknown details can be checked as the sale is reviewed.

  2. Step 2: Review the property and read the written terms

    We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We talk through the house and the sale choices. 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 deciding whether to proceed.

  3. Step 3: Check title, signing authority, 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 settlement. A mortgage payoff is the amount needed to satisfy the loan; a lien is a recorded claim for money. Estate papers, a will, or a court process may affect who can sign, so share the papers and notices you have.

  4. Step 4: Review the settlement sheet and close

    The settlement sheet lays out the sale price and the amounts scheduled to be paid or credited. The title company prepares the final figures for closing.

3. Two ways to sell to us

Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale

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.

4. Useful Springfield and county details

Use the county where the property is recorded

Springfield spans Greene and Christian Counties. The county recorder for the parcel is a starting point for deed and other recorded land-document information. The title company checks the records, ownership, and signing authority that apply to the sale. You can start talking with us while those details are being gathered.

Estate and signing questions

For an inherited house, estate papers help the title company check who can sign. The probate appointment, will, or court process can affect that question; being an heir alone may not settle signing authority. Share the papers you have so the title company can identify what is needed for this sale.

Payoffs and liens

A mortgage payoff is the amount needed to satisfy the loan. A lien is a recorded claim for money. The title company checks the current payoff and lien information; those amounts are separate from closing costs and can appear as separate settlement figures.

5. Closing numbers

Review the settlement sheet and Missouri recording fees

The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, other costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize. 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.

Missouri's Constitution bars the state and local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. County deed recording fees still apply: $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees set by state law. The title company confirms the exact recording charges.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; the title company shows those separately in the settlement figures.

You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

6. 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.

7. Questions and contact

If an estate, lien, foreclosure notice, tenant, code issue, or fire damage affects the next steps, these pages cover those situations:

Springfield sale-process questions

Can I start before every property question is settled?

Yes. Start with the Springfield address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, and timing. You can raise an estate, payoff, lien, tax, or title question while details are still being gathered.

When will I receive the written cash offer and terms?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Which county recorder has records for my Springfield house?

Springfield properties can be in Greene County or Christian County. The correct Recorder depends on the county where the parcel is located. Those offices are starting points for recorded deed information; the title company checks the records that apply to your sale.

Who checks title, estate authority, mortgage payoffs, and liens?

The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, recorded liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. Estate papers or a court process may affect who can sign. Bring the statements and notices you have so the title company can check what applies to this property.

What will the settlement sheet show, and who pays closing costs?

The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, 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. 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 figures.

Can I compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale?

Yes. The Cash Offer and EZ Sale have different terms. Compare the written numbers, timing, responsibilities, possession, and costs, then choose the path that works for you.
