How Quelark Works: A Complete Seller Guide

Step-by-step walkthrough of what happens from the moment you submit your property to the day you sign at closing.

From First Call to Closing: Exactly What to Expect

Selling a home — especially under pressure — can feel overwhelming. This guide walks you through Quelark’s process in detail, so you know exactly what each step looks like and why it matters.

Step 1: Submit Your Property (5 Minutes)

Fill out our form or call us. We need four basic things: the property address, your name and phone, the general situation (foreclosure, inherited, vacant, etc.), and your timeline. That’s it — no financial interrogation, no credit pulls, no obligation.

Step 2: Preliminary Review (24-48 Hours)

Our acquisitions team pulls public records, tax data, and comparable sales in your area. We identify which strategies might work: cash offer, subject-to, seller finance, lease option, wholesale, or a combination. If helpful, we’ll request a few photos or schedule a brief 15-minute phone conversation.

Step 3: Strategy Presentation (48 Hours – 5 Days)

Rather than giving you one take-it-or-leave-it offer, we present multiple viable strategies in writing. Each option includes:

  • Estimated net to you at closing (or monthly if applicable)
  • Timeline to close
  • Who covers repairs, closing costs, and fees
  • Tax implications at a high level (consult your CPA for specifics)
  • Comparison to a traditional listing via an agent

You pick what works. No pressure, no upsell.

Step 4: Due Diligence (7-14 Days)

Once you select a strategy and sign a purchase agreement, we:

  • Open escrow with a licensed title company in your state.
  • Order a title search and preliminary title report.
  • Coordinate inspections (minimal or none for as-is sales).
  • Confirm mortgage payoff amounts, liens, HOA dues, tax status.
  • Prepare all closing documents with your attorney’s input.

Step 5: Closing (Your Choice of Date)

We close at the title company, a notary’s office, or virtually via remote online notarization (available in most states). You sign the deed; the title company verifies and records it; funds are wired or delivered per your instructions; and you receive confirmation the transaction is complete. Most closings take 30-60 minutes.

Step 6: Post-Closing Support

We stay in touch to:

  • Confirm the first mortgage payment was made on time (for Subject-To / Seller Finance).
  • Help with change-of-address, utility transfers, insurance cancellation.
  • Answer any questions that come up in the months following.

What You Pay (Spoiler: Nothing)

Quelark covers customary seller closing costs on most transactions, charges no commissions, and never asks for up-front fees. The number in your offer letter is the number you walk away with.
