Compare the choices
A listing puts the house in front of retail buyers. Plan for the preparation, repair decisions, photos, showings, inspection responses, possible concessions, selling costs, and time that fit your property. Compare the likely amount left after those costs, not only the list price.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Read the written amount and terms, then compare them with your payoff and the costs and work of listing.
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.

Frankfort's housing context includes properties in the South Frankfort and Central Frankfort National Historic Districts. The City describes a varied collection of buildings, structures, and landscapes; that does not establish the age, condition, or needed repairs of one house. Check the parcel and any planned-work question with the City.
Downtown Frankfort, Inc. describes downtown as the heart of the city. The City identifies Bellepoint as the neighborhood containing Bellepoint (Todd) Park in downtown Frankfort. These are useful local reference points, not parcel boundaries or claims about a particular house.
Frankfort is Kentucky's capital and seat of government. This guide covers Frankfort and Franklin County, a one-county market. Confirm the property's actual address when a city service, county record, tax account, or court matter is involved.
Before setting a closing plan
Start with the ownership records and any estate or court papers. Ask the title company which people must sign and what documents it needs for this closing. If the authority is unclear, ask a Kentucky attorney about the specific facts before relying on a sale plan.
Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. For example, a $100,000 sale has $100 in transfer tax. The law makes the grantor—the seller—responsible, and the county clerk collects the tax before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt; ask the title company whether an exemption applies to this sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
If someone rents or lives in the house, gather the lease, occupancy details, access limits, notices, and the possession timing you want considered. Check the actual agreement and any court schedule with a Kentucky attorney; a sale discussion does not settle those questions.
Kentucky mortgage foreclosure proceeds through circuit court. If the lender wins judgment, the court orders a public auction conducted by a master commissioner. Under the court rules, the commissioner generally holds the sale within 90 days after referral, two disinterested people appraise the house first, and the sale is advertised at least once 7 to 21 days before the auction. The court confirms the sale before the buyer receives a deed.
If the house sells for less than two-thirds of its appraised value, the owner can redeem it within six months by repaying the sale price plus 10% interest and certain costs. Our agreement of sale will often get a master commissioner's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think. Check the current docket and sale notice with the court or a Kentucky attorney; an agreement does not change court-controlled dates by itself.
