Why sell to me
I’m not listing your house. I’m buying it.
Fair cash offer. I’ll walk you through the number. If it doesn’t work, say so. I’m not here to wear you down.
I buy it as-is
Leave the stain. Leave the stuff. Leave the “I’ll get to that someday” list. I’ll clean it out.
I work this market
I buy in Jonesboro and Paragould. When you call, you get me, not a script from a call center in another time zone. I don’t live in Arkansas full-time; about a week a month on the ground when deals need me.
Your timeline
I can often close in 7–10 days. Need a month? Fine. Need to stay a couple weeks after closing? We can talk.
No realtor fees
I’m the buyer. No realtor commissions. You see one cash number.

Cash sale vs listing it
Retail can net more if the house is ready and you can wait. A lot of files I see aren’t that stack. Here’s the actual trade, without invented ratings or “homes bought” counts.
| Traditional listing | Sell to me for cash | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to close | Weeks of showings, then a buyer’s loan | Often 7–10 days once title is clean |
| Commissions | Typically 3–6% off the top | None from me. I’m the buyer. |
| Repairs & prep | Paint, dumpster, inspector punch list | As-is. Leave the junk. |
| Certainty | Financing can fall through before closing | Cash. No lender in the middle. |
| Who you deal with | Agent, strangers, and a maybe buyer | Me. (870) 219-2255. |
How it works
Three steps. Then the house is my problem.
Send the address. If you like the offer, we can close in as little as seven days. Need longer? Your house, your clock.
01
Tell me about the house
Address first, then how I reach you. Call if you’d rather talk. That’s enough to start.
02
I make a cash offer
Often on the first conversation. I’ll tell you how I got there. No mystery math.
03
You pick the closing day
We close at a local title company. Cash. As-is. Then the house is my problem.
As-is means as-is
I buy the houses other people drive past.
Roof issues. Yard full of stuff. A mobile home that needs work. A rental that’s been more trouble than rent. I don’t need it pretty. I need the address and a conversation.
You don’t clean. You don’t paint. You don’t pretend that weird stain was always part of the décor.

Straight answers.
How the cash offer works, what closing looks like, and why I’m not an agent.
Are you listing my house, or buying it?+
I’m buying it. I’m not a realtor and I’m not putting your house on the MLS. If the house fits, I write a cash offer and I close at Lenders Title in Jonesboro. After that it’s my problem. I usually fix it up and sell it or keep it as a rental. You deal with me, not a listing team.
Do I have to repair or clean anything to sell as-is?+
No. As-is means as-is. Skip the contractors. Skip the dumpster. Leave the stain you’ve been side-eyeing for three years. I factor repairs into the offer so you don’t spend money first. Cleanup after closing is mine.
Will I get a fair cash offer in Jonesboro or Paragould?+
I buy below retail. That’s how I pay for repairs, holding costs, and the risk of taking the house as-is. What you get is a clean cash number, no commissions, and a close that doesn’t wait on a bank. I’ll walk you through how I got to the number. If listing for more money is the better path, I’ll say that too.
How do you come up with the offer?+
Location, condition, what it needs, and what similar Craighead County or Greene County houses actually sell for. I don’t mail you a mystery number from a spreadsheet in another state. I’ll tell you what I’m looking at, including if I can’t make a number work.
Are there realtor fees or commissions when I sell to you?+
None from me. No agent commission. Who pays which closing-cost line belongs in the written purchase agreement, not a slogan. You see one cash number. I make my money on the work after I own it.
How is a cash sale different from listing with an agent?+
An agent lists the house and hopes a buyer’s loan goes through. That can take months, and commissions often run 3-6%. I am the buyer. I use my own cash. We can often close in 7-10 days, or later if you need time to move. Retail still needs their inspector and their lender. I already priced the ugly parts.
Is there any obligation if I send the cash-offer form?+
None. You tell me about the house. I look at it and make an offer if I can. You can say no. I won’t hound you. I’m a person, not a call center with a quota. I buy houses in Jonesboro, Paragould, Brookland, and Bono.
How fast can we close in Craighead or Greene County?+
Once you accept and title is clean, we can often close at Lenders Title in Jonesboro in about 7-10 days. Estates, old liens, or a missing signature take longer. Need a later date because of school or a move? We pick that day. Fast is available. It is not mandatory.
Can I sell if I’m behind on payments or facing foreclosure?+
Sometimes. I can’t stop a sale that’s already gone too far, and I’m not your attorney. If you can still legally sell and the title can close, a cash buyer who moves quickly can matter. Call early at (870) 219-2255. Waiting until the last notice usually makes the file harder.
What if I inherited the house or there’s little equity?+
Inherited houses close when someone has authority to sign (will, executor, or Greene/Craighead probate far enough along for title). I can’t waive that. I can give the family a real cash number. Little or no equity: I’ll tell you if the math works. A cash offer is not a magic payoff.
Can I stay in the house after we close?+
Ask before we write the contract. Betty in Paragould stayed a couple of weeks after closing; I helped her move. Short overlap is sometimes possible. Don’t assume it. Put it in the agreement.
