Call 888-274-5006 or use the form to ask for a written cash offer.
The short answer
A direct as-is sale can mean less work before closing. Compare the written price and terms with the repairs, cleaning, showings, selling costs, and time you may carry the house if you list.
Compare the choices
Listing can fit when you want to reach retail buyers and can manage the preparation and access. Compare repair bids, cleaning, photos, showings, inspection requests, commissions, concessions, utilities, taxes, insurance, and the time you may carry the property. The asking price is not the amount you keep.
Compare the written price and terms with repair work, carrying costs, payoff, taxes, access, occupancy, and title questions for this property. You do not need to complete repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout to sell to us.
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.

Useful local facts

Mineral County's Sheriff-Tax Office says delinquent real-estate taxes are subject to its annual Sheriff's Tax Sale in November. That county tax sale is separate from a mortgage trustee's sale.
Closing questions
The title company reviews ownership records, payoffs, documents, and settlement amounts for the sale. In an inherited sale, the will and estate appointment papers determine who can act for the estate; a scheduled trustee's sale has its own deadline.
An executor or administrator is the estate's personal representative. In West Virginia, an executor must qualify before acting for the estate; if there is no will, the county commission or its clerk appoints an administrator. The will, appointment papers, and any court order show whether the representative can sell.

This is a tax on transferring title. State law generally makes the seller responsible unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. The first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500 or fraction of value; an additional county excise tax starts at $0.55 per $500 and a county commission may raise it to as much as $1.65 per $500. At the base rates the combined tax is $330 on a $100,000 transfer; in a county charging the maximum, it is $550. The County Clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. Confirm Mineral County's current additional county rate and the property-specific amount with the title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
See West Virginia Code §11-22-2, rates and recording fee · §11-22-1, definitions and excluded transfers.
We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
A West Virginia deed of trust lets the named trustee sell the house at public auction after default, without a court case. State law generally requires the trustee to publish notice in the county once a week for two weeks in a row, with a narrow exception for an older deed of trust. The trustee must also send notice by certified mail, return receipt requested; notice counts once mailed to the required address, even if it comes back.
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the auction. Sale proceeds pay the trustee's expenses first, then secured debts, and any surplus goes to the former owner. Treat the auction date as the deadline for completing a sale and paying off the loan. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current sale date and amount needed.

For a property-specific court or signing question, bring the actual papers to a West Virginia attorney. The Keyser and Mineral County resource page lists local offices and record routes.
Where to find help
The West Virginia statute links in the foreclosure and transfer-tax sections provide the longer state-law detail. For dates, amounts, and the rule that applies to one property, use the current notice and ask the title company or a West Virginia attorney.
