## Local closing notes

InTym Properties closes through a licensed title company and handles the title work; Iowa closings customarily involve an attorney title opinion or a certificate through the Iowa Title Guaranty program. Iowa charges a real estate transfer tax of $1.60 per $1,000 of sale price after the first $500, declared to the Pottawattamie County recorder at recording. Your written offer shows exactly which of those we cover before you sign.

## Frequently asked questions

### How fast can you actually close on a Council Bluffs house?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. The title work sets the legal minimum; you set the rest.

### My house sits on the bluffs or has settling and drainage issues. Will you still buy it?

Yes, exactly as it sits. Hillside foundations, retaining walls, and drainage problems on Council Bluffs' bluff-top and sloped lots are routine here. Each appears as a line item.

### The property is in probate. Can I get an offer before it clears?

Yes. InTym Properties can make a written offer now and close when the Pottawattamie County district court clears the estate. The executor or administrator can usually sign once letters are issued; your attorney sets the real timeline.

### I'm behind on payments and in foreclosure. Is it too late?

Iowa foreclosure is judicial: the lender sues in the Pottawattamie County district court and the county sheriff conducts the sale after judgment. You can sell any time before the auction, and the proceeds pay off the lender and stop the case.

### My house is across the river from Omaha. Do you buy on the Iowa side?

Yes. We buy throughout Council Bluffs and the rest of Pottawattamie County, on the Iowa side of the Missouri River, with the same written offer process.

### What do I pay at closing? What is Iowa's transfer tax?

Every cost is itemized before you sign. Iowa's real estate transfer tax is $1.60 per $1,000 of sale price after the first $500, declared to the county recorder. The usual seller costs also include recording fees and prorated property taxes, and your offer shows what InTym Properties covers.

### What if I change my mind?

Every agreement includes a cancellation window in plain words before you sign. InTym Properties would rather lose a deal than trap a seller.

### How do I know this is real?

Ask for proof of funds, search InTym Properties on the Iowa Secretary of State business registry, and take the offer to any attorney. We are the buyer.
