Selling a house in Jacksonville
Jacksonville grew up around defense work. The Arkansas Ordnance Plant covered nearly seven thousand acres here during the Second World War and employed more than fourteen thousand people at its peak, and Little Rock Air Force Base has been the primary C-130 training base for the Department of Defense since 1955. The base counts about seventy-two hundred working people and is the fifth largest employer in the state.
That history is in the housing. Around half the houses in town were built between 1950 and 1979, and most are three-bedroom single-family homes. Houses of that age come with the repair lists you would expect, and we buy them exactly as they are. Between the base and the age of the stock, most of our calls here are a military move or a house that came through a family.
We buy throughout Jacksonville, including Graham Woods , Forest Oaks , and Aubethany Estates . If your street is not on that list, it does not matter. We buy anywhere in Jacksonville.
Where the paperwork happens in Pulaski County
Jacksonville is in Pulaski County, and Little Rock is the county seat. Our own office is here on Dupree Drive. Deeds are recorded in the county where the house sits. Property taxes run through the county collector, payable from the first business day of March through October 15. If the house came through an estate, probate runs through the circuit court in the county where the person lived.

When we are not your best option in Jacksonville
If the house shows well and you can wait a few months, selling it on the open market usually brings a higher price, even after the fees that come with it. We will tell you if that is what we would do in your position.
If the goal is to keep the house and the trouble is missed payments, a HUD approved housing counselor is free and can walk you through the options with your lender first.
And if our number does not do what you need it to do, we will say so plainly instead of talking you into it.
Call (501) 251-9330 and ask. You will talk to one of us.

Questions Jacksonville sellers ask us
Do you buy houses from military families leaving Little Rock Air Force Base?
Yes, and it is a large share of what we do here. The base is the primary C-130 training base for the Department of Defense and counts about seventy two hundred working people. When orders set the date, we close around it rather than waiting on a buyer to get financing.
My Jacksonville house was built in the 1960s and needs work. Will you still buy it?
Yes. Around half the houses in town were built between 1950 and 1979, so this is most of what we look at here. Bad roofs, old wiring, and foundation problems are normal for that age and do not stop us.
Can I stop by your office?
Yes. We are at 501 Dupree Drive in Jacksonville. Call first so someone is there for you, and you are welcome to come talk it through in person instead of over the phone.
Part of Jacksonville floods when the bayous rise. Will you still buy a house near one?
Yes. The city says flooding here comes from two streams, Bayou Meto and Jacks Bayou, and Jacksonville takes part in the National Flood Insurance Program. The engineering department at city hall can tell you if your house sits in a mapped floodplain. A cash sale has no bank involved, so there is no bank rule about flood insurance to clear, and we buy houses in mapped flood zones as they sit.
Who handles the water account when I sell my Jacksonville house?
Jacksonville Water Works runs the water system, and city ordinance puts a meter deposit on every address. The buyer starts their own service in person at the water office with a picture ID and proof of ownership, so your account does not follow the house. If you are moving to another home inside Jacksonville, you can transfer your service with a phone call as long as your account is current.
Do you really buy houses in any condition?
Yes. We buy houses with bad roofs, foundation problems, fire or water damage, and houses full of belongings. You do not need to repair, clean, or clear anything out.
How fast will I get my offer?
We call you with a guaranteed cash offer within 24 hours of getting your property details.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No. There are no agent commissions and no service fees, and we cover the typical closing costs, meaning the title work. The offer we make is the cash you receive at closing.
Is the offer really guaranteed?
Yes. You get a written cash offer with no financing contingency. If you accept it, that is the amount you are paid at closing.
