The process
How I actually buy the house
Fair. On your timeline. Easy to follow. I’m the buyer. I’m not listing anything.
01
Call me, or send the address
I need the property, what’s going on, and when you want to be done. That’s it. You can skip the life story. Or tell me the life story. Either works. Form or (870) 219-2255. I read these myself.
02
I put a cash number on it
Often during the first serious conversation. The number is based on condition, location, comps, and what I’ll have to put into it. I’ll show my work. If I can’t make it work, I’ll say that too.
03
You pick the closing day
We close at a local title company in Craighead County or Greene County. Seven days is common when title is clean. Seven weeks is fine. You’re not on my stopwatch.
What I need from you to start
Address, an honest version of the condition, and a date you want to be done. Occupied or empty. Inherited or behind on payments. Sitting on Highway 412 or a Jonesboro rental near A-State. I don’t need a packet of paperwork to start. Title will ask for ID and anyone on the deed later. Better to mention co-owners, a spouse, or an estate on day one.
I work Jonesboro, Paragould, Brookland, and Bono regularly. I do not live in Arkansas full-time. About a week a month I am on the ground when deals need me. You still get me on the phone, not a national “we buy houses” script.
As-is. All cash. No extra theater.
- What “as-is” means
- You don’t repair, stage, or deep-clean. I factor the work into the offer. After I own it, the dumpster and the roof are mine.
- What “all-cash” means
- I don’t need a mortgage. The offer is the amount you get at closing, not a maybe that dies in underwriting.
- How fast is fast?
- I can often get you a number in a day. Close in about 7–10 days at a local title company when the search is clean. Traditional listings can sit 90+ days while you keep paying the house.
- What if I don’t need fast?
- Then we pick a date that works. Move, school, probate: I can wait. Betty in Paragould stayed a couple weeks after we closed. Ask before we write the contract.
- Will this be a lowball?
- I buy under retail because I take the repairs and the risk. I’m transparent about that. If you can list, wait, and maximize price, an agent might be the better path. If you want certainty, I’m the better path.
What closing actually looks like
After you accept, we open a file at Lenders Title in Jonesboro. They search the title. Clean title (one owner, no surprise liens) moves quicker. Estates, old mortgages that were never released, a missing spouse on the deed: those take longer. I don’t hide that. Jonesboro and Paragould files both sit at that table.
You sign a purchase agreement that says I’m buying the house as-is, for a cash price, on a date. At the table: ID, the deed documents, funds through title, not a suitcase. I do not promise who pays which closing-cost line. That belongs in the written agreement. You still need to understand any mortgage payoff. I’m not your accountant. I am the buyer writing the check that makes the file balance.
If you’re stuck on “is this a lowball,” remember I buy under retail because I take the repairs and the risk. I will show the math. If you can list, wait, and chase top dollar, an agent might be the better path. If you want a date that does not wait on a stranger’s loan, I’m the other path. You can say no after you hear the number. The conversation is not a listing.
Jonesboro and Paragould use the same three steps with different driveways. Sell my house fast in Jonesboro or sell my house fast in Paragould if you want the city version. More questions: FAQ.
What happens the week after you call
I read the address and call or text you back. If I need photos or a walk-through, I say so. When I am in Craighead County or Greene County that week, I look at the house in person. When I am not, we start on the phone and I see it before we lock a contract. I work this market about a week a month on the ground. I still pick up the rest of the month.
You are not on a listing clock. There is no open house. Neighbors do not have to know unless you tell them. If two people have to sign, tell me that on day one so title is not surprised. If you are behind on payments, say that too. I cannot stop a sale that has already gone too far. I can often close fast enough to matter if you can still legally sell.
No fees. No commissions.
Unlike listing, you don’t pay me a cut. I buy the house. My business is what I do with it after. You don’t have to get it “market-ready.” Ugly, pretty, in-between. I’ve bought worse.
