From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Step 1
Start with what you know about the house
Begin with the address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, and timing. If a payoff, lien, tax question, estate, or signing authority is still being sorted out, say so. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2
Talk through the property
We ask practical questions about the house and what matters to you. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
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, payoff, and signing details
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and estate authority. Open questions can be identified at the first conversation and checked as the sale moves forward; the right records and documents still need review before closing.
Step 5
Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet lays out 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. If you choose to proceed, the closing takes place through the title company.
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.

A local jurisdiction detail
Staunton city is its own jurisdiction
Staunton is an independent city and its own county-equivalent jurisdiction; it is not part of Augusta County. Augusta County is nearby regional context, not the county jurisdiction for a Staunton city property. That distinction matters when the title company checks the property records for the sale.
Before the signatures
Review the settlement figures
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, payoffs, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize before signing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
This does not pay the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those are separate settlement items.
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.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Who confirms the final settlement numbers?
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.
