Three simple steps

  1. 1

    Tell us about your house

    Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.

  2. 2

    Get your offer

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Close

    You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

Compare an as-is offer with your other choices

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.

For current Akron city market context, see the market report. To compare what you may keep after costs, use the home-sale net-proceeds calculator and adjust its inputs for your house.

Questions about Akron neighborhoods and selling

Does a neighborhood name tell me a house’s condition or value?

No. A neighborhood name describes location; it does not tell you the condition of one house or what it may sell for. The individual house matters.

Do I need to repair or clean out an Akron house before selling it to you?

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

How do I get a written cash offer?

Tell us about the house using the form or call 888-274-5006. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive written terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company.
