Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and payoffs. Compare the price with costs such as repairs, selling expenses, cleanup, and the time you carry the house, then account for any mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes.

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.

Bel Air South seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Bel Air South house as-is?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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.
How quickly can I get an offer, and when could closing happen?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
What costs do I pay when I sell to you?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Maryland's state transfer tax, recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Who can sign when an inherited Maryland house is sold?
The personal representative appointed in the probate case handles the estate and can sign for it unless the will or a court order limits that authority. Maryland law generally lets the personal representative sell estate property without court approval. If the will restricts the sale or family members disagree, the representative can ask the court for permission. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Can I sell if my Maryland house is in foreclosure?
Often, yes, if the loan can be paid off at closing before the sale. The lender must mail a notice of intent to foreclose at least 45 days before filing and cannot file until 90 days after default. Owner-occupants can request mediation, generally within 25 days after service of the lender’s final loss-mitigation affidavit. The sale is held by someone acting for the lender under the loan papers, with at least 10 days’ notice. You can catch up the loan until one business day before the sale. The sale is not final until the circuit court ratifies it, and you have 30 days after notice of the report of sale to file exceptions and ask the court to review it. If you live there and are 60 or more days behind, you can cancel a sale contract within five days of signing; a deed or other document affecting title cannot be recorded during those five days. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Can I sell a Bel Air South house with back taxes or liens?
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
