Money and choices
Start with what you keep, not just the sale price
The useful comparison is the amount left after the costs of each path. Compare a written offer with a realistic listing estimate that accounts for repairs, commissions, cleanout, and the time you carry the property. Your own payoff and property details matter too.

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.

Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale terms below →How do I compare what I would keep from a sale?
Compare the written sale amount with the costs and payoff for that path, not just the headline price. Repairs, commissions, cleanout, and the time you carry the house can change a listing comparison.
Compare possible net proceeds with the Chillicothe calculator →What Ohio conveyance fee applies when a house sells?
Ohio law places a conveyance fee on the seller: $1 per $1,000 of sale price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 that a county may add (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54 and 322.02). Confirm the applicable Ross County amount and transaction details with the closing company. When you sell to us, we pay it.
Open Chillicothe and Ross County seller resources →Can I ask about an inherited house before I have every paper together?
Yes. You can call with what you know about the house before every document is gathered. The person signing must have the required authority, and the title company reviews the property and paperwork before closing.

Yes, an occupied house can be discussed. Share the lease, access limits, notices, and possession details you know; the lease and the actual occupancy requirements still need to be considered for the sale.
Read more about tenant-occupied property →What if there is a foreclosure notice, payoff, or lien?
You can ask about a cash-offer option and share the notice or payoff information you have. Check any stated deadline with the lender, court, or professional handling the notice while the property and title details are reviewed; a conversation with a buyer does not tell you what deadline applies.

You can call before you have everything figured out
Start with the address, the condition you know about, who is living there, and any timing question on your mind. A deed, lease, estate paper, payoff statement, or notice may help answer a later question, but you do not need a perfect file before you call.
