Selling a house in Birmingham: what's different here
Birmingham sits in Jefferson County, AL.
Birmingham's early-1900s industrial-era neighborhoods give it one of the South's deepest stocks of older frame houses, which rental-portfolio buyers actively work.
Occupied-property and inherited-estate sales are a large share of this market, and both are transaction types we handle routinely.
How closings work in Alabama
Alabama closings are customarily handled by a closing attorney. Cash closings in two to three weeks are routine.
Seller taxes and fees in Alabama
Alabama’s deed tax is $0.50 per $500 of the price (0.1%) — one of the lower transfer taxes in the country.
If you're behind on the mortgage in Alabama
Alabama is a non-judicial state — the lender publishes notice for three consecutive weeks and can then sell, so a foreclosure can move from notice to auction in about a month. Alabama also has a post-sale redemption right, which complicates things for everyone; selling before the sale is much cleaner.
