Day-by-Day: From First Call to Wired Funds
Cash sales move at a different speed than financed ones. There's no lender, no appraisal, no inspection contingency, no underwriter looking for reasons to deny. The only real-world bottleneck is title — and even that runs faster when the buyer is paying cash and the title company knows it.
First contact
Phone call or form submission. Takes 5 minutes — address, condition, situation, timeline.
Offer delivered
We pull comps, estimate repairs, and send a written cash offer. No appraisal, no inspection contingency.
Contract signed
Standard NC offer-to-purchase contract. You sign electronically. We send earnest money to the title company.
Title search
Title company orders the search, pulls payoffs, and resolves any liens or judgments. This is usually the longest step.
Closing
Sign at the title company (or via mobile notary anywhere in the country). Wire or cashier's check the same day.
