There are two real estate markets in Kent County. The one on the listing sites — staged photos, weekend open houses, 45-day escrows — and the direct market, where investors with ready capital buy houses as they actually are. The second market has no sign in the yard, but it closes in days, charges no commission, and doesn't care about your kitchen's decade. We're your connection to the good actors in it. (For context: Kent County has about 187,604 residents, and its median home is worth roughly $317,000 — numbers that matter for what comes next.)
The problem with most "sell fast" options isn't speed — it's who's on the other side. National operations price Kent County houses from a spreadsheet three time zones away; lead resellers auction your phone number to the highest bidder. We do neither: one vetted, funds-verified local buyer, matched to your specific property and situation.

Delaware law, in plain English
Delaware foreclosures are judicial (scire facias): the lender sues, and contested cases plus the state's mandatory mediation program routinely push the process past a year. Delaware allows redemption only until the court confirms the sheriff's sale — typically a matter of weeks — after which the sale is final.
Delaware estates stay open at least eight months for creditor claims through the Register of Wills. Small-estate affidavits cap at $30,000 and exclude real property, so inherited homes need full administration.
Delaware has one of the nation's highest transfer taxes at 4% (usually split buyer/seller) — a significant line item when you sell. None of this is legal advice — but knowing the local rules is why a genuinely Delaware-based buyer prices and closes better than a national call center.

Kent County seller questions, answered
What happens after I submit the form?
Three steps: we confirm the property details (a short call or text), match it with the vetted Kent County buyer best suited to it, and that buyer presents a written no-obligation cash offer — typically within 24 hours. If you accept, they open title and you pick the closing date. Total time from form to funds can be under two weeks.
What happens to my equity if the foreclosure completes?
Auction sales routinely clear below market value, and the proceeds first pay the lender's balance, accrued fees, legal costs, and junior liens. Any surplus legally belongs to you — but after all deductions there's often little or nothing left, and claiming a surplus can itself require a legal process. Selling before auction at a real market-based price is how you convert equity into money you actually receive.
Will the buyer renegotiate after finding more problems?
A professional buyer prices in discovery risk — that's their business. Network buyers make offers intended to stick; retrading after agreement is grounds for removal. Contrast that with traditional sales, where the post-inspection renegotiation is practically a scheduled event.
Am I obligated to accept the offer?
Never. The offer is free and carries zero obligation — many homeowners request one simply to compare against listing with an agent. If the numbers don't work for you, you've lost nothing but a few minutes, and the offer typically remains valid for a window of time if you change your mind.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. Fast Local Buyers charges sellers nothing — we're compensated by the buyer network, not by you. There are no agent commissions (typically 5-6% in a traditional sale) and the buyer covers standard closing costs in a typical transaction. The offer you accept is the amount you should expect at closing, less your mortgage payoff and any liens.
The house is full of my parent's belongings. Do we have to clear it out?
No. Buyers in our network purchase inherited homes with contents in place — it's one of the most common requests they see. Take the photographs, documents, and keepsakes that matter; leave furniture, boxes, and everything else. For out-of-town heirs especially, this removes the single biggest practical barrier to getting the estate settled.
