Bluefield home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

The combined base tax is $1.65 for each $500, or part of $500, of the estimated sale price. A higher county rate and the separate $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee are not included. Exemptions may apply.

Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This estimate uses the tax rate and calculation shown above. Your percentage replaces it. Local taxes, exemptions and the property’s taxable value can change the final amount.

See how it works →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.

West Virginia transfer taxes and selling costs
West Virginia charges a real estate transfer excise tax of $1.10 for each $500 of value or fraction, plus an additional county excise tax that starts at $0.55 per $500. A county commission may raise that additional tax to $1.65 per $500. At the base rates, the combined tax is $1.65 per $500, or $330 on $100,000 of taxable value. In a county charging the maximum additional tax, the combined amount is $2.75 per $500, or $550 on $100,000. The taxable value includes liens the buyer takes over.
The county clerk also collects a separate $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. By law, the seller pays the transfer tax unless the buyer accepts the deed without it paid. The county rate and taxable value determine the actual total; the $330 example is the base rate, not a Mercer County-specific quote. See West Virginia Code §11-22-2 and §11-22-1.
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.

Questions about selling a house in Bluefield
Who can sign for an inherited Bluefield house?
The executor must qualify before acting for the estate. The will may give the executor power to sell; if there is no usable power of sale, the title company or an attorney confirms who owns the property and who must sign. When there is no will, the county commission or its clerk appoints an administrator, and the real estate passes to the heirs. We can work with the title company on the sale.
Can I sell before a West Virginia trustee sale?
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the auction. The auction date is the deadline for completing the sale and payoff. Call us — we'll talk through the timing.
Can you buy a house with city or county code violations?
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity. An as-is agreement does not erase an order or lien. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens to insurance proceeds on a fire-damaged house?
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
