FAQ

Common Questions, Honest Answers.

The questions we get most often from Las Cruces and Mesilla Valley sellers, answered without sales-speak.

The Process

How fast can you buy my house in Las Cruces?

As fast as 7 days from offer acceptance. Most closings happen 14–30 days out at a Dona Ana County title company. You pick the date.

How do you calculate the offer?

We pull recent sold comps in your specific Mesilla Valley neighborhood — ideally last 90 days — and weight them by distance, size, and condition. We factor in estimated repair costs and our margin. The written offer shows the math.

Is the offer really no-obligation?

Yes. The offer is typically good for 7 days. Plenty of sellers take it to a local agent for a second opinion and list instead.

What's the catch?

Honest catch: our offer will generally be below what a fully-staged, fully-inspected MLS listing might fetch over 90 days. You're trading the price difference for speed, certainty, no commission, no closing costs, no repair credits.

Money

Are there any fees?

No. No commission, no closing costs, no inspection fees, no repair credits. The offer number is the number wired to your bank at closing.

What if I owe more than the house is worth?

If significantly underwater, a short sale negotiated with your lender is usually better than a cash sale. We'll tell you that on the first call.

Property Condition

Do I need to clean or make repairs?

No. We buy as-is. Leave behind anything you don't want.

What if my house is in really rough shape?

Rough shape is our specialty. Fire damage, monsoon damage, foundation issues from clay soil, hoarding, vacant homes — we buy them.

Do you buy properties with tenants?

Yes. We buy tenant-occupied properties, even with difficult tenants.

Specific Situations

What if I'm in foreclosure?

New Mexico is a judicial foreclosure state — Dona Ana County District Court handles cases, typical timeline 6–9 months. We can usually close before the sheriff's sale. See foreclosure.

What if I inherited the house?

We work with personal representatives and out-of-state heirs. NM probate runs through the Dona Ana County Probate Court; informal probate typically 4–6 months. See inherited-house page.

What if I'm going through a divorce?

New Mexico is a community property state. We can sell the marital home with both spouses' agreement; proceeds split per the decree. See divorce sale page.

What if I'm out of state?

The entire transaction can be handled remotely via overnight mail or remote online notarization.
