Fulton is two towns under one ZIP code. Maple Lawn went up from the early 2000s on as a planned community with a town center, singles, townhomes and condos all in one association on public water and sewer. Around it, along Route 216, Lime Kiln Road and Scaggsville Road, the older Fulton is ramblers and farmhouses on acreage with a well and a septic system, many still owned by the family that built them. The Fulton calls we get are a Maple Lawn owner relocating on a deadline with an HOA packet and a lender in the way, and a family settling an estate on a lot the builders have been circling. We buy both for cash, as-is.

We buy Fulton singles, townhomes and condos inside Maple Lawn and ramblers and farmhouses on well and septic outside it, in any condition.

Maple Lawn: the packet, the dues and the deadline

A Maple Lawn sale runs through the association: a resale packet, architectural rules down to the fence and the paint, and dues that have to be current at closing. A retail contract cannot start its clock until the packet arrives, and a relocation on a date cannot wait for it. We sign first, order the packet ourselves under Section 11B-106 of the Real Property Article, and settle anything owed from the proceeds at closing. A condo in the town center buildings works the same way under Section 11-135.

Most Maple Lawn houses do not need work. What they need is a buyer with no financing, appraisal or inspection contingency who can close on the day the movers leave. That is the whole offer. By ZIP code we buy in 20759.

The acre lots along Route 216

Outside the Maple Lawn sewer line, Fulton runs on wells and septic systems, and the lots run from one acre up. No Maryland law requires a septic inspection before settlement, but every lender asks for one from a state licensed inspector, and the Howard County Health Department’s Well and Septic Program approves any repair. A failed drainfield is what usually kills a financed sale on these lots. We buy the house with the system as it stands and price a replacement into the offer if it needs one.

Some of these lots sell to builders as teardowns. When that is the better number we say so on the first call, and we put our read of the lot value next to our offer so you can decide with both in front of you.

Settling an estate in Fulton

• Probate. A Circuit Court judge sits as the Orphans’ Court, the Register of Wills in Ellicott City opens the estate, and the personal representative’s account is due within nine months. Estates without a dispute usually close in nine to eighteen months.
• Contents. We buy with the house, the barn and the equipment shed as they are.
• Rentals. A Fulton house rented to cover the mortgage needs a county license from the Department of Inspections, Licenses and Permits, $93.50 for a single unit, good for two years. Selling never requires it, and we buy licensed or not.
• Taxes at the table. Recordation $2.50 per $500, county transfer 1.25%, state 0.5%, all paid by the title company from the proceeds.
