Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remain after sale costs and payoffs. Compare the written price with realistic costs for repairs, selling, and carrying the house, along with any mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Those property-specific amounts are separate from the closing costs we pay when you sell to us.

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.

Useful questions about selling in Collinsville
How do I compare a cash offer with what I might keep?
Start with net proceeds, not just the sale price. What you keep depends on the written price and the costs or payoffs tied to your property. Our closing-cost payment does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Change the assumptions in the calculator to compare the sale paths for your house.
Do I need to repair or clean out a house before selling to you?
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 condition, even if the house needs major work.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
The comparison below lays out the two options and their terms. Compare the written numbers and responsibilities for your property, then choose what works best for you.
Who pays Virginia closing costs and deed taxes?
Virginia charges deed taxes when a property is recorded. The seller pays grantor tax by law, though the contract can shift who pays; state and local recordation taxes are separate. The settlement agent confirms what applies to the property. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee.
Can I sell if a Virginia trustee’s sale is scheduled?
Often, yes, if the sale closes and pays off the loan before the trustee’s sale. Virginia foreclosures are usually trustee’s sales under a deed of trust, without a court case. For an owner-occupied home, written notice generally must go to the owner at least 60 days before the sale; for other property, generally 14 days. The sale must also be advertised in a local newspaper. Do not assume the date has moved: have the title company or an attorney confirm the current sale date and payoff amount.
Can I ask about an inherited house before every estate paper is ready?
Yes. We can start with what you know about the house and the estate. Before closing, the title review needs to confirm who can sign and what documents or authority are required.
Can you review a house that still has tenants?
Yes. We can discuss a tenant-occupied house. Share what you know about the lease, access, and timing so those details can be considered in the sale terms; you can call before you have every detail sorted out.
Can I sell a house with liens or back taxes?
We can discuss a house with liens or back taxes. A title company confirms the property-specific balances and how they affect closing; those amounts are separate from the closing costs we pay.
Can I call before I have all the paperwork figured out?
Yes. Call with the property address and the question you have; you do not need to have every document or decision settled first. You can review the written offer and terms before you commit, and a title company handles the closing.
