From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Start with the Wilson address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. You can call or use the form before every property question is settled; we can talk through the details as they become clear.
2. Talk through the property
We ask practical questions about the house as it stands, including condition, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
3. Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed.
4. Work through title and payoffs
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed, who needs to sign, mortgage payoff information, liens, tax items, and the documents needed for closing. We work through questions as the details come together.
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: Cash Offer or 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.

Closing numbers in North Carolina
Read the settlement sheet and know which costs are separate
The settlement sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, other listed costs, and the amount scheduled to be paid to you. 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.
North Carolina charges an excise tax on conveyances when a deed transfers real estate: $1 for each $500 of the price or value, with any part of $500 counting as a full $500. State law makes the seller responsible for paying it to the county register of deeds before the deed is recorded. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
When the process gets 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.
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”
