How Selling Your Note Works

Selling a note shouldn’t feel complicated or high-pressure. At Booth Group, you work directly with the principal who reviews your note, not a call center or a broker passing you along. Here is the whole process in three steps. There’s no cost to get started and no obligation to accept anything.

1

Tell us about your note

Share a few basics about the note you’re holding, the type of instrument (promissory note and deed of trust, contract for deed, land contract, or wrap), the Texas property securing it, and a rough idea of the payment history. You can send what you have on hand; we’ll let you know if anything else would help. Your information is kept confidential and is used only to review your note.

2

We review it and talk it through

We look at the details, the property, and the payment record, then walk you through how note pricing actually works and what an estimate for your situation might look like. Any figure we discuss is a preliminary, non-binding estimate, subject to due diligence, title review, and underwriting, never a take-it-now pitch. We’ll explain how we arrived at the numbers and answer your questions in plain English.

3

You decide, and if it’s a fit, we close and fund

If the estimate works for you, we move into verification and title review and sign a written purchase agreement, and once everything checks out, you receive funds at closing. If it doesn’t work for you, that’s completely fine; you’re never obligated to accept. Whether you want to sell the whole note or just a portion of the payments, the choice is always yours.

Ready when you are

It takes about two minutes to share the basics. There’s no cost and no obligation.

Informational only. Any estimate is preliminary and non-binding, subject to due diligence and underwriting. Not a binding offer or a commitment to lend, and not financial, legal, or tax advice.

Questions sellers ask

How do you decide what my note is worth?

A note buyer is essentially purchasing the right to your future payments, so the value is based on what those payments are worth today. Several things move the number: the interest rate on the note, how much term is left, the payer’s payment history, the down payment or equity, the type of property, and the current value of the Texas property securing the note. That’s why notes typically sell for less than the remaining balance; the gap reflects risk and the time value of money. We’ll walk you through how we reach our figure. Any estimate is preliminary and non-binding, subject to due diligence and underwriting.

Can I sell just part of my note instead of all of it?

Often, yes. A partial sale lets you sell some of the payments for cash now and keep the rest, which can be a good middle ground if you want liquidity today but still like the income. A full sale converts the entire remaining note into a lump sum. We can talk through both and which might fit your goals. The choice is always yours.

How long does the process take?

It depends on the type of note, the property, title, and how complete the documentation is. Once we have what we need, we aim to move efficiently and keep things simple. We’ll give you a realistic sense of timing for your specific situation rather than promise a fixed date, since closing depends on verification, title, and due diligence.

What kinds of notes do you buy?

We focus on Texas seller-financed notes: promissory notes secured by a deed of trust, contracts for deed and land contracts, wraparound notes, and notes on a range of property types including single-family homes, raw land, and rural acreage. We consider both performing notes and notes where the payer is behind. If you’re not sure whether your note fits, just ask.

Is my information kept confidential?

Yes. We treat your information as confidential and use it only to evaluate your note. You’re sharing details so we can give you an accurate review, not to be added to a marketing list or passed around.

What documents do I need to get an estimate?

To start, it helps to have the note itself, the deed of trust or contract for deed, a payment history, and a rough idea of the current payoff. You don’t need everything perfectly organized to begin the conversation; send what you have, and we’ll let you know if anything else would help us give you a more accurate estimate.

Does it cost anything to get an estimate, and am I obligated to sell?

There’s no cost to request an estimate and no obligation to sell. Submitting your details doesn’t commit you to anything, and it doesn’t commit us to purchase. Any amount we discuss is a preliminary, non-binding estimate; a price becomes binding only once both parties sign a written purchase agreement. You decide whether it works for you.

Why should I sell to a direct buyer instead of going through a broker?

When you sell to a direct buyer, you work with the person actually evaluating and purchasing your note, without a broker layer adding fees or relaying messages. The note market is lightly regulated, so it’s worth working with a credible buyer who explains the process clearly and doesn’t lean on guarantees like “highest price” or “instant approval.” Being a Texas-focused direct buyer means we know the local instruments and recording rules, and you get straight answers from the source.
