Selling an Eldersburg house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
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.

Selling costs in Eldersburg and Carroll County
Maryland's state transfer tax is 0.5% of the sale price—$500 on a $100,000 sale. Carroll County sets its recordation tax, and an applicable county transfer tax may also apply; local rates affect the total. Maryland state transfer-tax law and county recordation-tax law explain the rates.
By law, transfer and recordation taxes are presumed to be split equally between buyer and seller unless the contract says otherwise. When the buyer is a first-time Maryland home buyer who will live there, the state transfer-tax rate is 0.25% and the seller pays the state tax, recordation tax, and local transfer taxes unless the parties expressly agree otherwise. Some transfers are exempt; the settlement company can confirm how the rules apply to your sale. Read the tax-allocation law and Maryland transfer-tax exemptions.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Maryland's state transfer tax, recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
