Canton's older housing stock — with 41.5% of housing units built in 1939 or earlier — means inherited properties often come with significant deferred maintenance: lead paint, older wiring, aging HVAC, and foundation concerns. Heirs living out of state, managing multiple properties, or simply not wanting the burden of repairs and showings are exactly who we help. We close on a timeline that works within the probate process — we're not in a rush to force a difficult situation.

After closing, the deed must be stamped by the Stark County Auditor (110 Central Plaza South, Suite 220) and DTE Form 100 submitted before recording at the Stark County Recorder (Suite 170, same building). The Stark County conveyance fee of $4.00/$1,000 plus $0.50/parcel applies — we cover this when we purchase.
