Selling a house in Mayflower
People in Mayflower commute both directions, to Conway and to Little Rock, and the town has grown as an in-between choice with the interstate at its door. The lake made its name: Lake Conway was built in 1948, at the time the largest game and fish reservoir ever built by a state agency, and the streets closest to the water have carried lake-house identity ever since.
That identity is also the current story. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission opened the dam gates in September 2023 and is rebuilding the dam, with the lake staying low for up to five years. A lakefront house beside a drawn-down lake is a hard sell on the open market, because buyers cannot see what they are buying into. We can. We buy houses near Lake Conway as they are, drawdown and all.
Mayflower does not run to named subdivisions. The calls we get most come from the Lake Conway side of town . If your street is not on that list, it does not matter. We buy anywhere in Mayflower.

When we are not your best option in Mayflower
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 Mayflower sellers ask us
What county is Mayflower in, and where does the deed get recorded?
Mayflower is in Faulkner County, and the county seat is Conway, about eleven miles north. Deeds and mortgages are recorded with the circuit clerk at 724 Locust Avenue in Conway. Probate filings for an estate go through the county clerk at 801 Locust Avenue, also in Conway.
Can I sell a house near Lake Conway while the lake is drawn down?
Yes. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission opened the dam gates in September 2023, and the lake will stay low for up to five years while the dam is rebuilt. A dry lakebed makes a lake house a hard sell on the open market. We buy houses near Lake Conway as they are, drawdown and all.
Will the 2013 pipeline spill come up when I sell in Mayflower?
It can, and the record is public. A pipeline ruptured in March 2013 and spilled about 3,190 barrels of crude oil, which reached a cove of Lake Conway. Twenty one homes were ordered evacuated, and cleanup and settlements followed. We know that history, and it does not stop us from making an offer.
Where do I pay Faulkner County property taxes if I live in Mayflower?
Faulkner County property taxes are due from March 1 through October 15. You can pay online through the county, by mail, or in person at the collector's office at 806 Faulkner Street in Conway. There is also a branch office in Greenbrier. At closing, the year's taxes get settled between buyer and seller.
Is Mayflower closer to Conway or Little Rock?
Conway, by a little. Mayflower sits on Interstate 40 about eleven miles south of Conway and twenty five miles northwest of Little Rock, so people here commute both directions. That same position helps when you sell, because buyers and title companies in both cities know the town.
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.
