How Selling Your House to Us Works
Selling directly involves fewer moving parts than listing, and that matters when you are also moving a household. Here is the sequence, what you do at each stage and what we do.
- Cash buyer
- Sold as-is
- No repairs or cleanout
- No listing commission
- Closing date set by you
- Nevada-local
Five stages from first call to funds
Every sale follows the same basic order. The details shift depending on whether you still live in the house, whether there is a VA or conventional loan to pay off, and whether you are already in another state, but the sequence holds. If you want to know who you would be working with, the background on our team and how we operate is short.
- Tell us about the house and your timeline. Share the address, its general condition and the date you need to be gone. If your departure is tied to orders, a report date is helpful; if it is a work move, the start date is enough.
- We see the property once. In person if you are still here, or through a lockbox, a neighbor, a property manager or a live video walkthrough if you are not. There is no inspection list for you to fix afterward.
- You receive a written offer. It states the price, the closing date you asked for and any items you want to leave behind. Take whatever time you need to review it with an agent, attorney or family member.
- Title and escrow open. A licensed title company orders the title search, requests the loan payoff, collects HOA documents if the home is in an association, and prepares closing papers.
- You sign and get paid. Signing can happen at the title office, with a mobile notary wherever you live, or by remote online notarization when the title company accepts it. Escrow then records the deed and releases your funds.
Between the third and fifth steps, most of the work belongs to escrow and to us. Your main job during that stretch is to answer the occasional question from the title officer, keep the utilities on and let us know if anything about your moving date shifts. If you have not moved out yet, carry on packing as normal; nothing about the sale requires the home to look a certain way on closing day.
What to gather before you reach out
None of this is required to get started, but having it nearby makes the first conversation shorter and the offer more precise. Owners in the middle of packing tend to appreciate anything that saves a second round of calls, so a few minutes with a folder or an email inbox can pay off.
- Your most recent mortgage statement. It shows the lender, the loan number and an approximate balance, which escrow will later turn into an exact payoff figure. If there is a second loan or a home equity line, have that statement too.
- HOA contact details, if any. Many valley neighborhoods have one association, and some master-planned communities have two layers. Knowing the management company helps title request resale documents early instead of in the final week.
- Your departure details. The date you need to leave, whether it is firm, and whether you would rather close before the move, on the day of the move or after you are settled.
- A short list of known issues. A roof leak, an aging water heater or a cracked pool deck does not stop a sale, but telling us early avoids surprises later.
If your loan is a VA loan, note that as well. It does not change our process, though it may change the questions you bring to your lender about entitlement afterward.
Give Us the Address and the Date You Leave
We work backward from your departure. Send the basics and someone local reviews the property, phones you with a handful of questions, and after that puts a cash number in writing with a closing day matched to your departure.
- No showings to schedule around packing
- No repair list to finish before the truck arrives
- Signing can be arranged if you are already gone

Signing from wherever the move took you
The fifth step is the one relocating owners ask about most, so it deserves more detail. You do not have to fly back to Las Vegas to close.
Mobile notary signing
Escrow can send the closing package to a notary who meets you at your new home, an office or a base facility. You sign, the notary notarizes the deed and other documents that require it, and the package is returned to the title company by courier.
Remote online notarization
Nevada authorizes commissioned notaries to perform remote notarizations over approved audio-video platforms, under rules in Chapter 240 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Whether it is used for your closing depends on the title company and the documents involved, so treat it as an option to confirm with escrow, not a given.
If you are deployed or hard to reach
Some sellers sign through someone holding a power of attorney. Whether a particular power of attorney is acceptable is a decision for the title company and, where questions come up, your legal advisor or installation legal assistance office.
What you are responsible for, and what you are not
Your list is short: share accurate information about the property, sign the documents and hand over keys, codes and garage remotes. Cancel or transfer utilities on the closing date so service is not cut off early.
Things that stay off your list
Repairs, cleaning, staging, photographs and showings are not part of a direct sale. If the house is not ready for a traditional listing, that does not change the process. Owners juggling a second mortgage on a new home often find the shorter path matters as much as the price.
Where situations change the details
Military sellers may want to read about timing a sale around PCS orders, and anyone already gone can review managing the sale after leaving Nevada. Location also matters a little: an HOA in a Summerlin village may have more documents for escrow to gather than a non-HOA street near the base in North Las Vegas. Remaining questions are collected in our seller question library, and when you are ready, send us the details of your house.
Common Questions on This Move
How long does the whole process take?
It depends mostly on the closing date you choose and on how quickly title can be cleared. We cannot guarantee an exact count of days ahead of time, since liens, payoff requests and HOA documents move at their own pace. When title opens, escrow can usually tell you whether your preferred date looks realistic, and we will share that honestly.
Who holds the money during the sale?
A licensed, independent title and escrow company does. We deposit funds with escrow, escrow pays off your loan and any other liens, and the remaining proceeds go to you by the method you arrange with them, such as a wire. At no point will we ask you to send funds to us, or to any other party, to finish the sale.
Can I stay in the house until moving day?
Usually, yes. Many sellers set closing for the day the truck leaves or shortly afterward. If you need a few days in the house after closing, that can sometimes be written into the agreement. Raise it early so the terms and date can be planned together.
What if my plans change after I accept an offer?
Tell us as soon as you know. Orders get amended and job starts move. Your written agreement spells out what happens when the closing date has to move or the sale cannot go forward, so read that section closely and ask questions before you sign rather than afterward.
