You pay zero real estate commissions and zero repair costs. The only costs you pay are standard seller closing costs. Typically title insurance, recording fees, and any prorated property taxes. Which in Alabama generally total 1–1.5% of the sale price. In many cases, we credit these costs back as part of the offer. The cash offer we present is very close to the amount you receive at closing.

We purchase properties with clouded titles, tax liens, and judgment liens regularly. During our title review process, we identify all encumbrances and either pay them off at closing (deducting the amount from proceeds) or work with a title attorney to resolve them before closing. If back property taxes are owed to Dallas County, we handle payment directly and adjust the purchase price accordingly. You won't need to bring cash to closing to clear liens.

We evaluate five factors: current as-is condition, recent comparable sales in your Selma neighborhood, estimated repair costs to bring the property to retail condition, current market demand in your zip code, and your desired closing timeline. Our offers typically range from 75–85% of the after-repair value (ARV) for properties needing significant work, and 85–92% of ARV for properties in good condition. We provide a written breakdown with every offer so you understand exactly how we arrived at the number.

Yes. We purchase tenant-occupied properties and properties where family members are still living in the inherited home. If a lease is in place, we can either honor the lease and purchase as an income property, or we can coordinate with the tenant on move-out timelines before closing. If a family member needs time to relocate, we can structure a rent-back agreement that allows them to stay in the home for 30–60 days after closing while they find new housing.

You'll need proof of ownership. Typically a death certificate, will or trust document showing you as heir or executor, and letters testamentary from the probate court if probate is required. If the property has already been deeded to you, a recorded deed in your name is sufficient. Our team works with your probate attorney or estate administrator to ensure we have all documentation Dallas County requires for a clean closing. We guide you through every document requirement during the offer process.

No. We charge zero upfront fees, no inspection fees, and require no deposit or commitment from you. The property walkthrough, offer preparation, title search, and all due diligence are completed at our expense. You have no obligation to accept our offer, and if you choose to move forward, all transaction costs are disclosed in writing before you sign the purchase agreement.

The core difference is speed, cost, and certainty. Agent listings require the property to be in showable condition, often requiring $10K–$30K in repairs and staging. Listings take 60–120 days on average in Selma, and buyers using FHA or VA financing may back out if the appraisal comes in low or the inspection reveals issues. You pay 5–6% in commissions at closing. Cash sales to Home Helpers close in 7–21 days, require zero repairs, have no appraisal contingency, and charge no commission. But the offer price is lower to account for the repairs we'll complete and the risk we assume.
