How it works

Disciplined process for an undisciplined corner of real estate.

Most platforms refuse these interests because the workflow is hard. Ours is built around them — disclosure-first listings, qualified buyers, and structured closings with cure paths laid out from day one.

For sellers

Move what won't move elsewhere.

You hold an interest that's real, that's legitimate, and that no traditional broker or MLS will list because title insurance can't be issued. Here's how we turn that into a closed deal.

01

Submit your interest

Tell us what you've got — a tax deed, an heir's share, a lien, a defective deed, an estate property pending sale. We accept the categories title insurers won't yet write. You can submit through the listing form, by email, or by phone for complex situations.

02

Free intake review

Our team reviews the documentary record, identifies the curative path (or paths) available, and produces an honest read on what your interest is likely worth to an investor. If we don't think it's marketable, we'll tell you — and we'll explain why.

03

Disclosure package preparation

We pull the deed, the chain abstract, the plat, the tax history, and any relevant court records. We document known defects, redemption status, and curative roadmap. The package is designed for a sophisticated buyer's lawyer to review in 30 minutes, not 30 hours.

04

Listing & pricing strategy

We help you set an asking price grounded in the underlying real-estate value, less estimated cure costs and a discount for cure risk. You set the floor; we recommend a band. Listings appear on the marketplace and are circulated to our buyer network within 48 hours.

05

Offers, negotiation, closing

Inquiries come through our intake — you don't deal with tire-kickers. We coordinate offers, LOIs, and the closing itself. Cash, assignment, or quitclaim deed structures available. You close with your attorney or use ours; we don't lock you in.

$

What it costs to list: Nothing. Listing is free. Marketable Titles is a free service during our soft launch — no upfront cost, no commission at closing, no charge if your interest doesn't sell.

For buyers

See what others can't price.

The category is mispriced because the diligence is hard and the listings are scattered. We solve both. Every listing on Marketable Titles comes pre-diligenced, with a curative path identified and the cure cost estimated.

01

Browse the marketplace

Filter by interest type, jurisdiction, asking price, and curative status. Every listing card is honest about what it is — no euphemisms, no "great fixer-upper" softening. Tax deed means tax deed.

02

Review the disclosure package

One click to download the full package: title abstract, deed, plat, tax history, defects matrix, curative cost estimate, and attorney's title opinion. Built to support your lawyer's review, not replace it.

03

Make an offer or ask a question

Two buttons on every listing: "Make an offer" or "Ask a question." We coordinate. You can engage your own counsel from the start; we welcome it. We don't represent buyers, sellers, or properties — we represent the transaction.

04

Diligence period

Standard 14–30 day diligence window. Walk the property. Order your own survey. Pull your own abstract. The seller has already given you a head start; verify everything that matters to you.

05

Close — and cure

Take assignment of the interest by quitclaim deed or assignment of contract. Marketable Titles conveys whatever interest the seller holds — no warranties, express or implied. Then run the curative action. Quiet title, partition, will probate, lien clearance — your counsel's call. Title insurance becomes available the day the cure closes.

What it costs to buy: Nothing from us. Marketable Titles is free for buyers and sellers during our soft launch. Buyers pay only the agreed purchase price, plus their own counsel and curative costs. No buyer-side commission, no platform charges, no gotchas.

Pricing

A free service.

During our soft launch, Marketable Titles is free for everyone — buyers and sellers alike.

Free to list

No upfront cost, no monthly subscription, no listing minimums. Submit your interest and we'll tell you whether it's listable before any money changes hands.

Free to browse

Anyone can browse the marketplace. Disclosure packages are gated behind a brief verification step (we want to know who's downloading) but cost nothing.

Free to close

Sellers keep their full sale proceeds. Buyers pay only the agreed purchase price, plus their own counsel and curative costs. Marketable Titles takes no commission.

Closing structures

How interests transfer at closing.

Quitclaim Deed

Our default for every parcel listed on Marketable Titles. Seller transfers whatever interest seller has — no warranties of title, express or implied. Buyer takes the interest as-is and runs the curative action with full upside on the cured property.

Why no warranty deeds

Tax-deed and other uninsurable interests don't yet have clean chains — that's the whole reason they're priced where they are. Offering warranty language would either misrepresent the chain or saddle the seller with exposure for defects the buyer is already paid to cure. Quitclaim keeps everyone honest.

Assignment of Contract

Used where the interest is itself contractual — a tax certificate, a lien position, an option, an executed but unrecorded purchase contract. Seller assigns rights; buyer steps into seller's shoes.

Bring us what nobody else will list.

The harder it is, the better we are at it.
