Alicia and Andy Hess with their three daughters, the family behind Alpine West Notes

A family business, not a call center

Alpine West Notes is a family business. Andy and Alicia Hess run it out of Danville, California, and they personally review every note that comes across the desk. Not a queue, not a call center — the two people who own the company are the two people who look at your file.

If you carried financing when you sold a property and would rather have cash now than wait years on monthly payments, we can tell you what your note is worth. There's no cost to find out.

See What Your Note Is Worth

Is a deed of trust the same as a mortgage note in Washington?

For someone selling, yes. Washington is a deed of trust state. When a home is sold with seller financing here, the loan is almost always secured by a deed of trust rather than a mortgage. It does the same job: it ties the loan to the property, so if payments stop, the property backs the debt. So whether you've heard the term 'mortgage note buyer' or 'trust deed buyer,' in Washington that's the same service. We buy both, and we buy land contracts and other seller-financed notes too.

When I was looking for an alternative to fulfill a cash flow concern, I looked to find someone to purchase a deed of trust that I was carrying. I had a choice of two different investment companies. Comparable in the purchase process; it came down to who could serve my financial request. Andrew Hess with Alpine West Group was the company that stood out! He is personable, had clarity with the process, and more importantly to my financial need, the closing was going to be within 30 days. With ongoing step by step process shared with me, I knew what to expect and when it would be happening. If you are looking for a company that reflects honesty, strong customer-centricity, and a timeline that is expedient, Andrew and Alpine is the company to strongly consider.

Common questions

Common questions about selling a note in Washington

Alpine West Notes does. We're a family-owned note buyer, and we buy mortgage notes, trust deeds, land contracts, and seller-financed notes from sellers across Washington — both performing notes and ones where the borrower has fallen behind.

It depends on the down payment, interest rate, term, payment history, and the property. Offers come in below the remaining balance because cash today is worth more than payments spread over years. We'll show you exactly how we arrived at your number, free and with no obligation.

You'll have a free quote in about 48 hours. From there, most closings take about 30 days. We handle the title work, the fees, and the closing costs, and we can arrange for a notary to come to you if that's easier.

Yes. This is called a partial sale. You sell some of your future payments for cash now and keep the rest. It's a good fit if you need a specific amount but still want some income coming in.

Nothing changes for them. Their payment amount, interest rate, and due date stay exactly the same. The only difference is where the payment gets sent.

Yes. Buying a note isn't like listing a house — there's no walkthrough and no open house. Title work, recording, and notarization are all handled remotely or through a local notary who comes to you. Plenty of our sellers never meet us in person, and the process is the same either way.
