Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not only the sale price
Net proceeds are what remain after the sale price is reduced by the costs and property balances that apply. Compare the written numbers with a realistic listing plan, including repairs, commissions, cleanout, and the time you carry the house. Mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate property obligations.
Cash Offer and EZ Sale have different terms. Compare their written numbers below, then weigh those numbers against the costs and timing that matter for your house.
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.

Clarksburg seller questions, answered
What would I keep after selling a Clarksburg house?
Net proceeds are what remains after the sale price is reduced by the costs and property balances that apply. Compare the written price with a realistic listing plan, including repairs, commissions, cleanout, and the cost of carrying the house. Mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts; the title company can confirm the figures for the property.
What is the difference between a 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.
Who pays the West Virginia transfer excise taxes when I sell to you?
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. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; the title company can confirm the property-specific amounts and settlement figures.
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. When a deed of trust secures the loan, the trustee named in it can sell the house at public auction after a default, without a court case. The trustee generally must publish notice of the trustee's sale in the county where the property is, once a week for two weeks in a row; there is a narrow exception for an older deed of trust. The trustee must also send the borrower notice by certified mail, return receipt requested; the notice counts once mailed to the required address, even if it comes back. Treat the auction date as the deadline for completing a sale and paying off the loan. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current sale date and amount needed. Our agreement of sale will often get a trustee'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 if a tenant lives in the house?
Yes. We can review a tenant-occupied Clarksburg house. Tell us who lives there, what you know about the lease and access, and the timing you are considering so the review starts with the situation you have.
Start with the property address and what you know about its condition, occupancy, and timing. A deed, payoff statement, tax or lien notice, lease, estate paper, or trustee-sale notice may help answer a follow-up question, but you can call before you have everything figured out.

Share the address and the question in front of you. You do not need every document or a finished decision before the first conversation. Call 888-274-5006 and tell us what you know about the house and your timing.
Local records
Need to check a Harrison County record?
The Harrison County Clerk's online records are a place to start when you are looking for county property documents. A title company can review the records for the specific sale and confirm what needs to be addressed.
