We also have two ways to buy. See the Cash Offer and EZ Sale comparison below.
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.

Butler seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Butler house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the house and its condition; you do not need to do work before asking about a sale.
How do the Cash Offer and EZ Sale compare?
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. The Cash Offer is direct, 30 days or less, at a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, 60 days or less, at a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both are listed with no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs.
How can I compare what I might keep from a sale?
The sale price is only one part of the comparison. Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and property obligations. Compare the written price and terms with the costs and assumptions for your own house instead of relying on a headline price alone.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Who pays the transfer tax and closing costs when I sell to you?
When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I call before I have all the paperwork together?
Yes. Start with the Butler property address and what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. You can call before every document is gathered. If ownership or estate papers are part of the question, those details can be reviewed as the conversation moves forward.

Can you review a Butler house with a tenant living there?
Yes. Tell us what you know about the lease, access, occupancy, and timing so those details are part of the property discussion.
Can I sell a Butler house with liens or delinquent taxes?
You can ask us to review a house with liens or delinquent taxes. The balances and how they are handled need to be clear in the written terms. A sale does not make mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes disappear.

What if a sheriff’s sale is scheduled?
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.

Can I ask about selling an inherited house in Butler?
Yes. You can start the conversation before every estate paper is gathered. The deed and estate documents help establish who owns the property and who can sign, so have the papers you do have ready for the title company or your estate attorney to review.

What if my house has a City of Butler code or permit question?
You can ask about the house as it stands; we buy houses as-is and no repairs are required to sell to us. For a property inside the City of Butler, check an actual code or permit question with the City office that handles it. Confirm the property’s municipality because a mailing address alone does not establish city jurisdiction.
Local help
Butler County offices for estate and tax questions
