Selling a home doesn't have to be a 90-day ordeal. Here's exactly what working with Good Neighbor looks like, from your first call to the day we hand you a check.
Call (206) 555-0188 or fill out the form on our site with your address and a bit about your home. Whoever picks up — Sarah, David, or Maria — is one of three people on our team. You won't get a call center.
We'll have a real conversation. Why are you thinking of selling? What's your timeline? What would make this easy for you? About 15-30 minutes, no scripts, no pressure.
We pull recent comparable sales in your neighborhood, look up your home on county records, and (with your permission) drive by or schedule a quick walkthrough. For most homes this takes us 24-48 hours.
If a walkthrough makes sense, it's about 20 minutes — we don't crawl into attics with flashlights. We're checking the bones, not finding things to lower the price over.
Within 48 hours we deliver a written, all-cash offer. It includes the number, the comps we used, and our reasoning. Nothing buried, nothing fine print.
The offer is good for two weeks. Take a day, take a week. Talk to your family, your attorney, your realtor friend. We'll never call to pressure you.
If you're ready, we sign a simple purchase agreement and open escrow with a local title company. You pick the closing date — anywhere from 7 days to 70 days out, whatever works for your life.
If you're not ready, we wish you well. No follow-up sales calls, no badgering. If you change your mind months later, our line is open.
The title company handles all the paperwork. You sign in their office (or remotely), and the wire goes to your account that day or the next morning. We handle every closing cost — title insurance, transfer taxes, escrow fees, all of it.
If there's stuff in the house you don't want to move, leave it. We'll handle the cleanout. If you need a few weeks after closing to move out, just ask — we're flexible on that too.
An honest side-by-side. Sometimes a traditional listing is the right move — we'll tell you when.
Our honest take: If your home is in good shape, you have time, and you can stage it well, listing usually nets more money. If your home needs work, you need certainty, or your time is the constraint, we're often the better deal once you subtract the costs above.
