How the process works.
Three steps. No surprises. You stay in control every step of the way.
Tell us about your property.
The first step is simply a conversation. You can reach us by phone, fill out the short form on our contact page, or reply to any message you’ve received from us. There’s no script and no pressure — we just want to understand your situation.
We’ll ask about the property: its location, general condition, and any known issues. We’ll also ask about your timeline and what outcome would feel right for you. This usually takes about five minutes, and it shapes everything that comes next.
- No need to clean up or prepare the property in advance
- All property conditions welcome — fire damage, structural issues, code violations
- Tenants in place? Not a problem — we’ll discuss the situation
- Liens, back taxes, or title complications are welcome topics
Receive a clear, written offer.
Within 24 hours of our initial conversation, we’ll deliver a written offer. Not a range. Not a “it depends.” A specific number, in writing, with a brief explanation of how we arrived at it.
Our offer reflects the property’s condition and the local market — factoring in the work the property needs and what comparable homes are trading for in your area. We don’t start low to negotiate up. We put our best offer forward the first time.
- Written offer delivered within one business day
- No “subject to inspection” gotchas — we price in condition upfront
- We’ll walk through any part of the offer you’d like to understand
- No pressure and no deadline — take the time you need
Close on the date that works for you.
If you accept our offer, we move forward at your pace. We can coordinate closing in as little as 14 days, or we can give you 60, 90, or more days if your situation requires it. This is your decision — we don’t disappear after you accept.
We work with a licensed title company to handle all the paperwork, coordinate payoffs on any existing mortgage or liens, and manage the closing logistics. On closing day, you sign the documents and receive your proceeds — by wire or check, your preference. That’s it.
- Flexible closing date — as fast as 14 days or as long as you need
- We coordinate with a licensed title company
- We handle payoffs, lien resolution, and title coordination
- You receive proceeds at closing — no waiting, no holdbacks
- You don’t need to hire an attorney or agent
Selling directly vs. listing with an agent.
Listing may be the right choice for some homeowners. Here’s an honest comparison.
| Odyssey RE | Traditional Listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Offer timeline | Within 24 hours | Weeks to months |
| Closing timeline | As little as 14 days | 30–90+ days (after offer) |
| Agent commissions | None | Typically 5–6% of sale price |
| Repairs required | None | Often required for listing & inspection |
| Showings & open houses | None | Multiple, often inconvenient |
| Financing contingencies | None — we buy directly | Common — deals fall through |
| Works with liens/probate/tenants | Yes | Rarely — complicates listing |
