Order your payoffs
We request payoff statements from your lender and any other lienholders, and confirm HOA dues or transfer fees that apply.

We prepare your settlement documents, confirm the figures, and coordinate with the buyer's side and the lender.

You sign, we collect and verify the funds, and your sale closes on schedule.

Seller questions
What home sellers ask us.
What do I need to provide to get started?
A government-issued ID, your mortgage payoff details, and any prior owner's title policy or survey you have. If your property has HOA dues, transfer fees, or a mobile home title, let us know and we will gather what is needed.
What costs come out of my proceeds at closing?
Common costs include your remaining loan payoff, any liens to clear, transfer taxes and recording fees, the settlement fee, any HOA or transfer fees, and your agent's commission. We explain each one so nothing is a surprise.
How and when do I get my proceeds?
After the closing is complete and the conditions are met, we pay off your loan and any liens and disburse your net proceeds by your chosen, verified method. We will tell you the timing for your specific transaction.
How do you protect my proceeds from wire fraud?
We verify your payout instructions and confirm them with you by phone, and we will never change them based on an email alone. Before your proceeds move, call our office to confirm the details.
What is a payoff, and how do you handle my mortgage?
A payoff is the exact amount needed to satisfy your loan as of the closing date, including any interest and fees. We request it from your lender and pay it directly from your proceeds at closing, so your loan is cleared from title.
What can delay my closing?
Unresolved liens, missing payoff figures, title defects, or last minute changes from the buyer's lender. We look for these early and work to clear them so your sale stays on schedule.
