FAQ
Jackson direct from owner questions.
- Do I need my own agent to buy FSBO in Jackson?

- Who handles title and escrow?
- A local Missouri title company or closing attorney. Either side can choose; cost is typically split or negotiated.
- Can I still get a mortgage?

Glossary
Key terms for direct from owner in Jackson.
- Promissory note
- The IOU between you and the Jackson seller. Spells out the loan amount, interest rate, payment schedule, and what happens if you miss a payment.
- Deed of trust / mortgage
- The lien recorded against the property that secures the promissory note. In Missouri, most owner-finance deals use the same instrument banks use, so you actually own the home at closing.
