From the first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Start with the Tulsa address, the condition, who lives there, access, and your timing. If a mortgage payoff, lien, tax balance, tenant, estate, or notice is part of the situation, tell us what you know. You can begin before every property question is settled.
2. Talk through the property and your choices
We talk about the house as it stands, including condition, repairs, occupancy, access, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Then we explain the sale choices that fit the property.
3. Read the written offer and terms
Before you decide, we put the offer and sale terms in writing. They set out the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and any conditions for this house. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company. Read the written terms and ask about anything you want clarified before deciding whether to proceed.
4. Work through title, authority, and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoff instructions, liens, property-tax items, and the documents needed for closing. For an inherited house, the will, appointment, title, and court file help establish who can sign and whether court approval is needed. The property’s county identifies the local property-record office; an estate’s court file may be in a different county.
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.
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.

Tulsa and Oklahoma details
Estate authority and county records
The City of Tulsa intersects Tulsa, Osage, Rogers, and Wagoner Counties. We check the county for the property’s local records; that does not by itself determine where an estate case belongs. In Oklahoma, an appointed executor may sell before the estate closes when the will authorizes the sale, but probate-court confirmation is generally required before title passes, subject to a specific statutory exception. If the will does not authorize a sale, an executor or administrator generally needs a district-court order. The title company reviews the will, appointment, title, and court file to confirm what applies.

Closing numbers
See how the settlement figures add up
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, other listed 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.
Oklahoma calls its deed-transfer tax the documentary stamp tax. For a covered deed where consideration or value exceeds $100, the rate is 75 cents for each $500 or fraction of $500, excluding liens that remain on the property. The closing agent confirms the amount and any exemption. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate settlement items.

Questions about selling a Tulsa house
Can I contact you before every property question is settled?
Yes. Start with the Tulsa address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, and timing. You can tell us which details about a payoff, lien, estate, or notice are still unknown.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What are the Cash Offer and EZ Sale choices?
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.
Who checks title, signing authority, and payoffs?
The title company reviews ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, property-tax items, and the documents needed for closing. For an estate, the will, appointment, title, and court file help determine who can sign and whether court approval is needed.
What does the settlement sheet show?
It 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.
