What shapes your comparison
Your house has its own condition, costs, and timing
Repairs and cleanout can add costs before a listing. A tenant can affect access and timing, and bills keep coming while you wait. We can look at the house's condition, needed work, who lives there, and your timing with you, then compare a direct sale, listing, or holding the house.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.
Local selling costs
Iowa real estate transfer tax belongs in the closing numbers
When the tax applies, Iowa charges 80 cents for each $500, or part of $500, of the sale price above the first $500. On a $100,000 sale, that is $159.20. By law, the person conveying the property—normally the seller—is liable. Certain family, divorce, and estate-distribution transfers, and transfers of $500 or less, are exempt. The Scott County Recorder collects the tax before recording the deed, and a declaration of value is filed when required. The closing professional confirms whether an exemption applies and the taxable amount.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Not sure? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
What you may keep
Sale price and money left after costs are different numbers
A sale price is not the amount you take home. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, share of current property taxes, repairs and cleanout, listing costs if you list, and bills while you wait.
Use the home-sale calculator to change the numbers and compare what may remain from different choices. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
