Share the address and what you know about the house so we can start the conversation.
From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us what you know about the house
Start with the address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering. Mention an inherited property, tenant, repair, payoff, lien, tax issue, code notice, or foreclosure deadline if one is part of the situation. Unknown details can stay unknown while we talk through what comes next.
2. Talk through the property and the possible sale paths
We ask practical questions about the house, access, occupancy, repairs, and timing. You do not fix anything — not one thing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Then we can compare a direct sale with listing, making repairs, or waiting, using the facts about this property.
3. Read the written offer and terms before you decide
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. We give you the written offer and its terms before you commit. If you choose to sell to us, the sale closes through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and any property-specific conditions. Ask questions before deciding whether the offer fits.
4. Work through title, authority, payoffs, and settlement figures
The title company checks the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for closing. An estate, lien, or payoff question can affect the steps; we work through those details with you and the title company. A settlement sheet shows how the 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.
5. Choose, sign, and close through the title company
If you decide to go ahead, the sale closes through the title company under the written terms and the final settlement figures. 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.
