Frequently asked questions

Real answers to common questions about exploring a direct home sale. The written agreement and your property details determine the terms of any particular transaction.

The process

Before and after an offer

Am I obligated to accept an offer?

No. You can review an offer, ask questions, compare other options, and decline. Do not sign an agreement unless you understand and accept its terms.

How is an offer determined?

An offer may consider the property’s location, condition, recent comparable sales, expected work, and transaction costs. Ask us to walk through the factors behind a specific written offer.

How long does a sale take?

Timing depends on the agreed closing date, title work, payoffs, occupancy, and other property details. The proposed timing should be written into the agreement.

What happens after I accept?

The parties sign the applicable agreement, and closing professionals review title, ownership, payoffs, and required documents. The details and timing depend on the transaction.

Offer and costs

Understanding the written terms

Are there fees or closing costs?

Costs depend on the transaction and the written agreement. Before you decide, review the purchase price, closing costs, liens, mortgage payoff, and estimated amount you would receive. Ask the closing professional to explain the settlement statement.

Can I negotiate the offer?

You can ask questions or discuss possible changes to price, timing, or other terms. Any agreed changes should be included in the written agreement.

Can I sell if I still have a mortgage or lien?

Payoffs are often handled through closing, but the amounts and available proceeds matter. Share what you know and have the title or closing professional confirm the payoff and any other requirements.

Property details

Condition, occupancy, and title

Do I have to make repairs or clean first?

You can tell us about the property in its current condition. If we make an offer, the agreement should state what condition the property will be in at closing and whether any work is required.

What if tenants live in the property?

Tell us about the lease, occupancy, and any notices already given. The lease and applicable law affect what can happen, so do not promise a move-out date until the situation has been reviewed.

What if the property is inherited or in probate?

Share what you know about ownership and the estate. The required steps depend on title and the circumstances; a closing professional or attorney can explain what is needed.

What if I am facing foreclosure?

Contact your mortgage servicer and a qualified housing counselor or attorney promptly. A possible sale does not automatically pause a foreclosure. Timing depends on the legal process, title, and whether a transaction can close in time.

Still have a question?

Ask us directly about the property

Share only the details you are comfortable sharing at first. We can explain what we know and what still needs review.
