Selling or buying without an agent

Your move. Your money.

You found the buyer or the home yourself. LAVA keeps the deal organized from agreed price to closing, so it gets to the title company on time and ready to close.

What LAVA does

The part after you shake hands

Most for-sale-by-owner deals get stuck after the price is agreed. The paperwork, the deadlines, and the hand-off to title are where things slip.

We do

  • Check the paperwork. Every blank filled, every page signed and dated.
  • Track every deadline. Disclosure, inspection, appraisal, loan, and closing, with reminders to both sides.
  • Gather the documents. One shared folder for buyer, seller, and title.
  • Hand title a ready file. We stay in touch with the title officer until closing.

We don't

  • Negotiate price or terms. That stays between buyer and seller.
  • Give legal advice. For that, talk to an attorney.
  • Hold any money. Earnest money goes straight to the title company.
How it works

Four steps to closing

STEP 1

Agree on a price

You and the other side agree on the price and the main terms.

STEP 2

Bring in LAVA

Call or fill out the form. We send you a checklist and set up the shared folder.

STEP 3

Sign and open escrow

You both sign the agreement. We check it and send it to the title company.

STEP 4

Close on time

We track each deadline and keep everyone on schedule until you sign at title.
