Getting Started

Who is New Day Properties?

We’re a local real estate solutions company led by Mitchell Martin. As a community-minded cash home buyer, we buy houses directly from homeowners, handle the hard parts, and help you sell your house without repairs, showings, or fees. Learn more on our About Us page.

What types of houses do you buy?

All kinds of houses, including single-family homes, townhomes, small multifamily, inherited houses, rentals, and homes that need major repairs. If it’s a property you want to sell, we’re interested.

What areas do you serve?

We serve homeowners across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee. See our full list here: Areas We Serve.

Why choose a cash sale over listing with a realtor?

Speed, simplicity, and certainty. With a cash home buyer, there are no showings, no open houses, no repairs, and no financing fall-throughs. You pick the closing date and keep more of your time.

Is there any cost or obligation to get an offer?

No. Our offers are free and no-pressure. Start here: Get a Cash Offer.

How It Works

How do I request an offer?

Four easy steps:
  • Step 1: Request a Cash Offer
  • Step 2: Property Review
  • Step 3: Get Your Cash Offer
  • Step 4: Sell Your House
See details on How It Works.

How do you figure out your offer price?

We look at recent sales, the home’s condition, location, and any repairs needed. We share our numbers so you can see how we arrived at the offer.

Will you still buy my house if it needs repairs?

Yes—we buy houses in any condition. You don’t have to clean, fix, or haul anything away.

Do I have to let contractors or dozens of buyers tour my home?

No. Usually one brief visit (or photos) is enough for us to finalize your cash offer.

Can I sell your house if I live out of state or the property is vacant?

Absolutely. We can work remotely, coordinate access, and handle paperwork electronically.

Timeline and Closing

How fast can you close?

Many sales close in as little as 7–14 days, and we can also schedule later if you need more time. You choose the date.

What if I need cash sooner?

Tell us your timeline. We’ll do our best to move quickly and may provide solutions like an expedited closing or flexible possession.

Do you charge fees or commissions?

No. There are no agent commissions and no surprise fees when you sell to a cash home buyer like us.

Who pays closing costs?

We typically cover standard closing costs. You get clarity up front and net more of your proceeds.

Can I stay in the house a few days after closing?

Often yes. We can arrange a brief post-closing occupancy or rent-back when needed—just ask during the offer stage.

Legal and Paperwork

What paperwork is involved?

A simple purchase agreement and standard closing documents handled by a professional title company or closing attorney. We’ll guide you step-by-step.

What if the title has issues (liens, back taxes, probate)?

We work with the title company to resolve common issues. If there’s a solution, we’ll help you find it and keep you updated.

Can you buy my home if I’m in pre-foreclosure?

Often yes. Contact us quickly. A fast cash sale can help you avoid auction and protect your equity. Start here: Get a Cash Offer.

What if I have tenants?

No problem. We regularly purchase tenant-occupied properties and can coordinate respectful transitions.

Is this the same as a listing contract?

No. You’re selling directly to a buyer—us. No listings, showings, or months on the market. That’s the benefit of working with a cash home buyer.
Note: We’re not attorneys and this isn’t legal advice. For legal or tax questions, please consult a professional.

Our Real Estate Services

What makes New Day Properties different?

People first. We keep the process clear, move at your pace, and communicate openly. We also donate 5% to support local autism organizations in Alabama. Your sale helps neighbors, too. See what others say on our Reviews page.

Do you only buy, or can you help in other ways?

Buying for cash is our specialty, but if a traditional sale would net you more and fits your goals, we’ll tell you. Our goal is to help you sell your house the best way for you.

Can you work with unique situations (divorce, probate, downsizing, relocation)?

Yes. We tailor the timeline, paperwork, and closing to your situation so you can move forward with confidence.

What if I just want to explore my options?

That’s fine. Get a no-obligation offer and compare. Read helpful tips on our Blog.
