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.

Eldersburg seller questions, answered
How do I compare what I may keep after selling?
Compare what remains after the costs for each path, not just the sale price. Repairs, selling costs, and the time you carry the house can change what is left. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Can I sell my Eldersburg house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Do I see the offer and written terms before I decide?
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
How soon can a sale close?
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
What costs do I pay when I sell to you in Maryland?
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Maryland's state transfer tax, recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax.

Can I call before the estate paperwork is finished?
Yes. Call while you are sorting through the papers. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Can I sell a house with tenants still living there?
Yes. You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. Tell us about the lease and timing.
Can I sell if a Maryland foreclosure sale is scheduled?
Often, yes, if the loan can be paid off at closing before the sale. You can catch up the loan until 1 business day before the sale. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Can I sell a house with back taxes or liens?
You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
