Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Your net proceeds are what remain after property obligations and sale costs. Compare the written price after mortgage payoff, taxes, liens, closing charges, and other property costs. For a listing, include likely commission, repairs, cleanout, concessions, and the time you carry the 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.

Ashland home seller questions, answered
Do I need to repair or clean out my Ashland house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Start with the Ashland address and tell us what you know about condition, occupancy, and timing.
Can I read the offer and terms before I decide?
Yes. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, and timing in the actual terms before deciding.
What costs should I compare before deciding what I will keep?
The sale price is not the same as the amount you keep. Compare the written price after mortgage payoff, taxes, liens, closing charges, and other property obligations. For a listing, include likely commission, repairs, cleanout, concessions, and the cost of carrying the house while it is for sale. The actual figures depend on the property and terms.
What is Ohio’s conveyance fee in Ashland County?
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. State law requires the seller to pay $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and allows the county to add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§319.54, 322.02). In Ashland County, the total is $4 per $1,000—about $400 on a $100,000 sale. When you sell to us, we pay it.

Can you review an Ashland house with back taxes or liens?
Yes, we can review the house while you sort out tax, lien, or recorded-document questions. A recorded document is not the same as a current payoff; the responsible office or creditor and the title company can confirm the amounts and closing details for the property.
Do I need every deed, notice, or estate paper before I call?
No. You can start with the Ashland address, the condition, who lives there, and the question you are trying to answer. If you have a deed, tax bill, lien notice, lease, payoff statement, or court paper, share what it says; you do not need a complete file to ask a question.
Can I ask about selling an inherited Ashland house before the paperwork is finished?
Yes. You can discuss the house before every estate paper is in hand. Whether a sale can go forward and who can sign depend on the estate records, title, and authority for that property; have the relevant county office, title professional, or Ohio attorney confirm the specifics.
Can I talk with you if a tenant still lives in the house?
Yes. You can discuss the property while it is occupied. Tell us what you know about the lease, access, and timing; the actual lease and occupancy details matter to planning a sale, and this conversation does not decide what a tenant must do.
What if I have a foreclosure or Sheriff-sale notice?
You can call and discuss a possible sale while you check the notice. Use the current paperwork and case number to confirm status and deadlines with the responsible court or Sheriff; do not plan around an assumed delay or outcome.
Start with a question
You can call before you have everything figured out
You do not need every document or a finished plan. Start with the Ashland address and what is going on. If you have a tax notice, court paper, deed, lease, or payoff statement, you can tell us about it, too.
Call 888-274-5006 to ask about the house.
