The short answer
Tell us what you know about the house and when you hope to sell. We buy houses as-is in Kenton and across Hardin County, so you can compare an offer without first repairing or clearing the property. Set the written terms beside the work, costs, and waiting time of listing, then choose the route that fits.
Compare the choices
A listing can fit when the house is ready for buyers and you can coordinate preparation, access, and a longer sale process. Price repair bids, cleaning, photos, showings, inspection requests, commissions, concessions, utilities, taxes, insurance, mortgage payments, and the time you may carry the house. The asking price is not the amount you keep.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Compare the written price and terms with the work, payoff, taxes, and property obligations that apply to your house. You receive written terms before you commit, and a title company handles closing.
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.

Closing questions
If the will gives the executor power to sell, the appointed executor can sign without a separate court order under Ohio Rev. Code §2113.39. Other options may apply when the will does not give that power, and a transfer-on-death designation can change whether probate is needed. The title company checks the deed and estate papers for this sale; ask an Ohio estate attorney about uncertain authority.
Ohio Rev. Code §2113.39 · Hardin County Probate Court · Inherited-property guide
Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the judge confirms the sale, you can generally stop it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs, and applicable interest with the court clerk under Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33. Selling first may help protect any equity you have.
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff'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.
Follow the actual notice and case record for deadlines. Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33 · Hardin County Courts
Ohio law requires a conveyance fee of $1 per $1,000 of sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000. For Hardin County’s total Ohio conveyance fee, contact the Hardin County Auditor — Real Estate. When you sell to us, we pay it.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
If you want a rental empty, ending a month-to-month lease takes written notice at least 30 days before the next rent due date, or 7 days for week-to-week under Ohio Rev. Code §5321.17. Check the actual agreement before setting a move date.
For longer Ohio guidance, see the Ohio home-selling guide. A sale plan does not change the deadline on a court, lender, or tax notice; the notice and case record control.
