Shelby County has a population of about 230,211, with Columbiana as the county seat. The median owner-occupied home is valued near $326,100, above the Alabama median of $209,900, so equity is often there even when a house needs work.

Median household income is near $97,961 (statewide: $63,999).

Situations We Help With

Whatever Brought You Here, There's A Path Forward.

Here is how we help Shelby County homeowners in the situations we see most. If yours is not listed, call us anyway; we have likely handled it before.

Foreclosure or Missed Payments

Shelby County homeowners who are behind on payments can sell before the foreclosure process runs its course, pay off the loan and keep any remaining equity.

Inherited or Probate Property

Settle a Shelby County estate without cleaning out, repairing or listing the house, even if you live out of state.

Major Repairs Needed

Much of Shelby County's housing dates from around 1997, so roof, foundation and water damage are common. We buy the house exactly as it stands.

Difficult Tenants or Vacant Rentals

About 19% of Shelby County households rent. Sell a rental with tenants in place or a vacant one, without another lease or showing.

Divorce or Life Transition

Sell a shared Shelby County home in one clean transaction and split the proceeds at closing.

Relocating on a Deadline

Moving away from Shelby County on a fixed date? Close when you need to, without months on the market.

Yes. If your Shelby County listing has stalled, we can make a backup offer and coordinate with your agent, subject to your listing agreement.
No. The typical home in Shelby County was built around 1997, so we expect older roofs, wiring and plumbing. We buy as-is, which means you do not fix, clean or stage anything before selling.
No. We pay cash, so there is no lender appraisal, and you do not pay for an inspection. We only need a quick walkthrough or photos of your Shelby County property.
None. On a $326,100 home, the median value in Shelby County, a typical 6% listing commission would be about $19,566. Selling to us, you pay no commission and no fees, and we cover normal closing costs.
We start with recent sales of comparable homes near you in Shelby County, from Columbiana to the surrounding towns, then account for condition and needed repairs. The offer is in writing, and we walk you through the numbers.
That is common. At closing, the Alabama title company pays off your mortgage and any liens from the sale proceeds, and you receive the rest.
