Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above. Compare written price and terms with the preparation, costs, and time involved in listing.
Compare your choices
Listing, a direct sale, Cash Offer, or EZ Sale
A direct as-is sale
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate amounts to include in your comparison. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Compare 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.

Closing questions
Signing, sale costs, and a scheduled sheriff sale
Who can sign an inherited house sale?
If the will gives the appointed executor power to sell, that executor can sign without a separate court order (Ohio Rev. Code §2113.39). We can look at the will and appointment papers with you. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Ohio conveyance fee and closing costs
Ohio's conveyance fee is $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000 under Ohio Rev. Code §319.54 and §322.02. When you sell to us, we pay it.
For the current local amount, contact the Stark County Auditor. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us.
What if a sheriff sale is scheduled?
Ohio mortgage foreclosures go through the court. You can generally still stop the sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs and applicable interest with the court clerk under Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33. Follow the deadline on your court notice.
Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement.
