Reach Out and Chat
It all starts with a hello. Call us or fill out our easy online contact form.
Imagine we’re sitting down over coffee, talking about your place. We start by asking questions that give us a comprehensive understanding of your home.
- What is the square footage of the property?
- How many bedrooms and bathrooms does it have?
- What is the age of the roof, windows, heater, kitchen, and bathroom?
- On a scale from 1 to 10, how would you rate the property’s condition, considering everything from brand new to condemned by the township or municipality?
Understanding your property is important, but equally so is understanding your situation. We want to know how we can best assist you. For instance, did you inherit the house and need the proceeds from the cash home sale to put a deposit down on another property? Do you need money upfront to hire movers or need assistance with packing and cleaning out the property? Our goal is to make things as easy for you as possible!

Open Escrow and Order a Title Report
Getting Down to Business
With an agreement in hand, we’ll kick off the escrow process. Next, we order a title report—this takes about a week or so. It’s like your house’s background check, revealing any liens, outstanding taxes, or other hidden secrets it might have that you don’t know about.
Review the Title Report
Dotting the i‘s and Crossing the t’s
When the title report is ready, we’ll review it with you and answer any questions. We’ll need to tally up any payoffs, like an outstanding mortgage, utility bills, or taxes owed, which are deducted from your final payment. We’re just making sure all the paperwork is in order.
Set up the Closing
Almost Home!
With the title clear, we schedule the big day – the closing. We work around your timetable, and if you’re out of town, we’ll even send a mobile notary to you.
Closing
Handshakes and Keys
Closing time means paperwork, signatures, and the sweet sound of “cha-ching,” as funds are transferred by check or bank wire. Every penny is accounted for in a settlement statement showing the amount received. A final signature, the passing of the keys, and voila—you’ve sold your house for cash fast and a smile.
Don’t you love it when things just come together? Reach out to us, and we’ll make selling your house as easy as telling your favorite story—with a happy ending.
