Which ways can I sell an as-is Frankfort house?
List with an agent
You can ask about listing the house in its current condition or doing selected work first. Compare the preparation, access and showings, costs in your listing agreement, and bills you expect to carry while it is for sale.
Sell by owner
Selling without an agent puts marketing, buyer inquiries, showings, price discussions, and sale coordination in your hands. Consider how much time and professional help those tasks may take for this house.
USA Home Buyers has two purchase options. The comparison below places their terms beside listing and selling by owner so you can weigh the work, price, and timing for your house.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

What Frankfort details matter when planning repairs?
Frankfort is in Franklin County, a one-county market. The City identifies South Frankfort and Central Frankfort as National Historic Districts and describes the city's buildings, structures, and landscapes as diverse. That context does not tell you the age, condition, or repair needs of one house. If yours is in a historic district, check with the City about any review that may apply to the specific work you are considering. Read the City of Frankfort historic-preservation information.
For a city code notice or a repair-heavy house, see the Frankfort page on code violations and serious disrepair.
Which costs and complications should I compare?
For a listing, write down the preparation, repairs, cleanout, costs under the listing agreement, and bills you expect to carry while the house is for sale. For a direct sale, compare the written price and terms with your payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes; those obligations are separate from closing costs.
On a taxable Kentucky deed, the real estate transfer tax is 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500—about 0.1%. For example, a $100,000 sale has a $100 transfer tax. The seller (called the grantor in the statute) owes it by law, and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. The taxable value includes the full price, including any liens the buyer takes over. Some transfers are exempt, and recording fees are separate; ask the title company whether an exemption applies to your sale. See Kentucky Revised Statutes § 142.050.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Use the Frankfort home-sale net-proceeds calculator to compare estimates with your own assumptions. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
