In 2026, the owner of a distressed property in Oklahoma City filled out an offer request on our website. She had recently gone through a divorce and left Oklahoma behind to start over in New York — but the house she’d left behind was still in her name, and still on her mind.
After we agreed on a price, we opened title and quickly ran into problems. There were multiple issues clouding the title — the kind of issues that can take months of legal work, paperwork, and expense to clear up. For a seller already living a thousand miles away and trying to move on with her life, it felt like too much. She told us she was seriously considering just letting the property go to the county tax sale and walking away from it entirely.
We didn’t want to see that happen. Losing a property to a tax sale often means losing any remaining equity in it, and she deserved better than that. So we came back with a new offer: we’d purchase the property with the clouded title, taking on the burden of sorting through those issues ourselves. That way, she could walk away with money in her pocket instead of nothing at all.
To make it as easy as possible on her end, we arranged for a mobile notary to come directly to her in New York so she wouldn’t have to travel or track down a notary on her own. The documents were signed, the sale closed shortly after, and she was thrilled to finally be free of the property — and of the stress that had come with it.
Sometimes the best solution isn’t the cleanest one on paper. It’s the one that actually gets the seller to the other side.
