Behind on payments or already holding a Notice of Default? Best Flipping Friends buys Jonesboro homes for cash before the auction — or buys the house and rents it back to you so your family doesn’t have to move. Up to $5,000 in moving assistance if you choose to go.

If you’ve fallen behind on your mortgage in Jonesboro, you’re not alone — and you’re not out of options. Craighead County sees foreclosure notices filed every month, on everything from starter homes in Nettleton to newer builds out toward Valley View. Arkansas lenders can foreclose without ever going to court, so the timeline moves faster than most people expect. The good news: as long as the auction hasn’t happened yet, there is almost always a way to protect your equity and your credit.
Jonesboro is the hub of Northeast Arkansas — home to Arkansas State University, St. Bernards and NEA Baptist, and a steady base of manufacturing jobs along the I-555 corridor. That keeps demand for housing strong, which is good news if you need to sell quickly: we can buy your house as-is and close in days, not months.
We’re based right here in Northeast Arkansas, so we can usually look at a Jonesboro property within a day or two of your call.
Arkansas is a non-judicial foreclosure state. Under the Statutory Foreclosure Act, your lender doesn’t have to file a lawsuit. It records a Notice of Default and Intention to Sell with the Craighead County clerk, mails you a copy, and runs the notice in a local newspaper for four consecutive weeks. The sale can take place as soon as 60 days after that notice is recorded — typically at the Craighead County Courthouse on South Main Street in downtown Jonesboro (properties in the eastern part of the county may go through the Lake City district instead) or at the property itself, on a weekday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Right up until the sale, Arkansas law lets you reinstate the loan (pay everything that’s owed) or sell the house. Most families can’t come up with the arrears in a lump sum — which is exactly why a fast cash sale, or a sale-and-rent-back, is often the way out. You can read the full statewide breakdown on our Stop Foreclosure in Arkansas page.
And if you have a lot of equity and enough time before the sale date, Justin is a licensed Arkansas Realtor (Dustin White Realty) and will tell you honestly if listing the house would put more money in your pocket than a cash sale. Either way, you get a straight answer.
Hi, I’m Justin Taylor. Founder of Best Flipping Friends LLC, licensed Arkansas Realtor with Dustin White Realty, and the person who will actually answer when you call. I live and work in Northeast Arkansas, and Jonesboro is home turf for us.
My wife Emily and I buy houses with our own money, so there’s no waiting on a bank and no wholesaler shopping your address around. Because I’m licensed, I can also tell you honestly when listing would net you more than a cash sale — and handle that listing if you want. You get one point of contact, a written offer, and a closing date we actually hit.
We buy houses in every part of Jonesboro and throughout Craighead County, including:
Nearby towns: Bono, Brookland, Bay, Lake City, Monette, Caraway, Trumann, Harrisburg, Walnut Ridge. ZIP codes: 72401, 72404, 72405.

Yes — if we can close before the sale date. When we buy the house, your loan is paid off at closing and the foreclosure is cancelled. We’ve closed on homes with only days to spare, so even if the auction is close, call us before you assume it’s too late.
Then a normal sale won’t cover the loan, but you still have options. We can help you explore a short sale with your lender — and because Justin is a licensed Realtor, he can handle a short-sale listing if that turns out to be the best route for you.
Not from us. There’s no sign in the yard, no showings, and no advertising. If you choose Stay & Rent, from the outside nothing changes at all.
We purchase the home and pay off your lender, which stops the foreclosure. You sign a lease with us at a rent you can afford and keep living there. We’ll write in a first right to buy the home back once your finances have recovered.
A completed foreclosure stays on your credit report for up to seven years and makes it hard to rent, borrow, or buy again. Selling before the auction avoids the foreclosure mark itself — the late payments still show, but they fade far faster.
The notice your lender records will state the time and place. In practice, sales are held at the Craighead County Courthouse on South Main Street in downtown Jonesboro (properties in the eastern part of the county may go through the Lake City district instead) or on the property, on a weekday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you have a notice with a date on it, call us today.
The earlier you reach out, the more options we have. There’s no cost, no obligation, and no pressure — just an honest conversation about how to protect your home, your equity, and your credit.
