// How it works
A complicated sale, made understandable.
How long a file takes depends on what is actually wrong with it. A clean situation can move in a few weeks. One tangled in probate, multiple heirs, foreclosure, or litigation can take months, and the hardest have taken over a year. Here is how the process works and where the time really goes.
Reach out with the basics
Send the property address and a few sentences on the situation: any probate, heirs, title, or foreclosure and auction deadline you know about, plus the best way to reach you. You do not need to have it all figured out. Tell us what you know and we will take it from there.
We tell you if it looks like a fit
Within about 48 hours we give you an honest read on whether it is the kind of situation we take on. If it is not something we can help with, we will tell you quickly rather than leave you waiting. This first read is a preliminary fit, not a final offer.
We do the real research
If it looks like a fit, we dig in. We work through the chain of title, figure out who actually needs to sign, identify what is legally standing in the way, and value the property once it is clean. How long this takes depends entirely on the file, and it is the part that shapes everything after it.
We bring you an offer and a plan
Once we understand the path, we walk you through what we can pay and how the process would work, including anything that has to happen with probate, heirs, or the courts. No pressure and no obligation. If the numbers do not work for you, nothing moves forward.
The legal and title work gets handled
Where a file needs an estate reopened, heirs appointed, a title problem resolved, or a foreclosure postponed, we coordinate with the appropriate South Carolina counsel and carry the process. You stay informed without having to run it. This is usually what determines how long a deal takes.
You sign, we close, and you get paid
Closings are handled remotely by default, so you do not need to travel. You sign with a notary wherever you are, and your proceeds come from the closing attorney on closing day. We take the property as it is.
A note on timing: we avoid promising an exact number of weeks before we understand a file. Complex situations involving probate, multiple heirs, litigation, foreclosure, quiet title, or partition do not fit a fixed schedule. Once we have done the research, we will be straight with you about the realistic timeline for your property.
