Facing foreclosure
A Delaware lender has to sue in Superior Court, send a 45-day notice first, and go through a mediation conference for an owner-occupied home. That gives you time to sell and keep the equity a sheriff sale would eat.
Situations we help Delaware owners with
Most people who sell to us have a reason the usual way of selling does not fit. Each guide explains how that situation plays out under Delaware law, what your options are besides selling to us, and where a cash sale actually helps.
Behind on property taxes
Unpaid county and school taxes collect monthly penalties and can end in a monition sale. A sale pays them off at settlement, before the county does it for you.
Inherited or in probate
The executor or administrator appointed by the county Register of Wills signs for the estate. We can price the house while the paperwork is still moving.
Divorce or separation
Both owners sign, the mortgage is cleared at one settlement, and what remains is split the way your Family Court order or written agreement directs.
Tired landlord
Sell the rental occupied, tenant and lease included, without notices, turnovers or another round of repairs.
House needs major repairs
Roof, septic, foundation, wiring, a kitchen from another era: the repairs become our job and are priced into the number.
Vacant house
Empty houses cost money every month, and the City of Dover requires many of them to be registered. Selling stops the bills.
Code violations or open permits
Open notices or unpermitted work make a listing harder. We buy with the problem in place and deal with the inspector afterward.
Military move or relocation
PCS orders out of Dover Air Force Base or a new job elsewhere. We set settlement around your report date.
Downsizing
Leave the big house, and most of what is in it, without months of sorting, repairs and showings.
Flood or storm damage
Water in the house, roof damage after a storm, or a lot in a mapped flood zone. We buy damaged houses as they stand.
None of these fit?
Some sellers are not in any kind of trouble and simply want an uncomplicated sale. Others have two or three of these at once, such as an inherited house with back taxes and a leaking roof. Either way, call (856) 226-4289 and tell us what is going on.
