Process Questions & Answers

Common questions about how our process works, answered.

How long does the entire process take from start to finish?

From initial contact to closing, you can close in as little as 7 days if you're ready. The typical timeline is: Day 1-2 (contact and research), Day 3 (offer delivery), Days 4-6 (agreement and title work), Day 7 (closing). We can also extend the timeline to accommodate your needs.

Do I need to be present for any part of the process?

You only need to be present for closing day (typically 30-60 minutes). Everything else can be handled via phone, email, or electronic signatures. We can even accommodate remote closings in some cases.

What documents do I need to provide?

Initially, we just need your property address and basic information. After you accept the offer, we'll need proof of ownership (deed or title), and we'll handle obtaining any other necessary documents through public records and title searches.

Can the offer change after you make it?

No. Once we present an offer, it won't change unless you request modifications or we discover significant new information (which is rare). The offer is good until you decide to accept, decline, or negotiate.

What happens if I accept the offer but then change my mind?

You're not committed until you sign the purchase agreement. Before signing, you can change your mind at any time with no penalty. Once you sign the agreement, we both have obligations, but we can discuss options if circumstances change.

How do you handle properties with liens or title issues?

We handle title issues as part of our process. We order a title search early, identify any liens or problems, and work to resolve them before closing. In most cases, we can work with existing liens and factor them into the transaction.

What if I need to close faster than 7 days?

We can accelerate the process for urgent situations. While 7 days is typical, we've closed in as few as 3-5 days when needed. Just let us know your timeline, and we'll do our best to accommodate it.

Do you need to inspect the property before making an offer?

No. We make offers based on your description, property records, and our market analysis. We don't need to see the property to make a fair offer. If you accept, we may do a final walkthrough before closing, but this doesn't affect the offer amount.

What if I have questions during the process?

We're available to answer questions at any time. You'll have direct contact information, and we typically respond within 24 hours (often much faster). We maintain regular communication throughout the process.

How is payment handled at closing?

We wire funds directly to the closing company before or during closing. You'll receive payment via wire transfer (same day) or cashier's check at closing, depending on your preference. We'll confirm the payment method in advance.
