The process in detail
The longer version, including the two ways an appointment can end that have nothing to do with selling to us.
Step by step
No fees at any of them. Before you sign, you can stop at any point without explaining yourself; after signing, the agreement governs both parties.
- 1
A short call
You tell us the address and roughly where things stand. We ask about condition, occupancy, and your timeline — about two minutes, and nothing you say commits you to anything.
- 2
We come look at the house
A local person walks the property, in person. No need to clean, repair, or stage anything first — we are pricing the house as it actually is, not judging how it shows.

How the number gets put together
A cash offer is built from factors you can see — comparable sales nearby, the condition of the house, and what the work it needs would cost — together with our own costs of buying and holding. Ask and we will walk you through how we got there; an offer you cannot interrogate is not worth much.

You get a straight answer
If buying it makes sense, you get a written cash offer with no obligation attached. If listing would genuinely serve you better, we say so and tell you who we would call — we take no referral fee. And the honest answer can be advice instead: wait, or fix one thing first, or do not sell at all.

If you accept: a contractor visit, then escrow, then closing
After signing, our contractor walks the property — a second, scheduled visit; what it can and cannot change is written below. Then the contract goes to a licensed Nevada title and escrow company: they examine the title, identify what is required to close, handle the documents, and disburse the funds — every dollar moves through them, never around them. You tell us the closing date you want, and once title and escrow are ready it goes on the calendar — days away or months out.
What we need from you
Very little. The address, honest answers about the house, and access for two visits: the initial walkthrough before we make an offer, and — if you accept — the contractor visit after signing. You do not need to clean, empty the garage, or finish the repairs you started — leave what you do not want, and we deal with it after closing.
What can slow things down
Honestly: title problems — an old lien, an unfinished probate, a missing signer. These can delay a closing, and sometimes they prevent one until they are resolved. The title and escrow company identifies exactly what is required, and some situations also need an attorney or a probate professional. The earlier we know, the more schedule we can protect for you.
Can the price change after we sign?
Not at our discretion. We do not reduce a signed price to improve our own margin — a signed number is a signed number. If the contractor visit after signing surfaces a material problem we could not have seen — foundation damage, for example — we may propose an amendment, in writing, spelling out exactly what was found and what it changes. Whether and how the price can change is governed by the contract you signed, which sets out both parties’ rights and obligations: we cannot simply announce a new number, and you decide how to respond within its terms.
We put this in writing because unexpected post-contract price cuts are a known problem in this industry. Clear contract terms, and documented reasons for any proposed change, are what let a seller judge what is actually happening.
If we are not the right answer
Some houses should be listed, and some situations resolve without a sale. When that is you, we say it plainly, point you to people we trust, and take nothing for it. Call (702) 793-2582 either way — the sorting-out part is free.
