Five steps from your first email to a wired payment.
Most deals close in four to ten weeks. The fastest close on record was about two weeks. The hardest one took fourteen months because we had to redo a chain of title across two estates. Here is what the path looks like.
Send the address and the situation
Email me the property address and a few sentences on the situation. Probate? Heirs out of state? Pending foreclosure? Occupied by someone who is not on title? The more honest the file, the faster I can move.
I pull title, run the math, and call you back
My team runs the chain of title from the county Register of Deeds, pulls any recorded liens and judgments, identifies all the heirs or signers, and underwrites the resale value. If there is a path to a deal, we get on a 15-minute call to walk through what I can pay and the timeline.
We sign the PSA and I send your first payment
I work off a standard South Carolina purchase and sale agreement. Most heir and probate deals include an upfront payment at signing that is non-refundable to you. Earnest money goes to the closing attorney, not to me.
My probate and closing attorneys handle the legal work
If the estate needs reopening, the heirs need appointment as Personal Representative, the chain of title has a missing link, or there is an active foreclosure that needs postponing, our attorneys and transaction coordinators handle it. Probate counsel handles the estate work, closing counsel handles the recording and disbursement. You stay in the loop without being on the calls.
We close, you get paid the rest
Closings are mail-away by default. You sign with a notary wherever you live, wire instructions come from the closing attorney directly, and the rest of your proceeds hit your account on closing day. I take the property as it is.
