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 Hamilton

What will I keep if I sell my Hamilton house for cash?

Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and payoffs, not the headline price. Compare the written price with a realistic listing plan, including repairs, commissions, other selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, and the time you carry the house. The actual numbers depend on the property and written terms.

What is Ohio’s conveyance fee, and who pays it?

Ohio law requires an Ohio conveyance fee of $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000. The Butler County Auditor’s deed-transfer information can help confirm the current amount of that Ohio conveyance fee. When you sell to us, we pay it.

Can I ask about selling an inherited Hamilton house before every paper is ready?

Yes. You can start with the house and what you know now. The will, probate appointment, deed, and estate record can help identify the next paperwork question; the title review confirms what is needed before closing. Butler County Probate Court provides estate information and records.

Can I sell a Hamilton house while a tenant is living there?

You can ask about a sale while someone is living in the house. The lease, access, notices, occupancy, and possession plan matter, so start with what you know rather than assuming the sale ends a tenancy.

What if a foreclosure or sheriff-sale date is involved?

Yes, an Ohio house in mortgage foreclosure can still be sold. Ohio foreclosures go through court. Under Ohio Rev. Code §2329.33, you can generally stop the sale before the judge confirms it—even after the auction—by depositing the full judgment amount, costs and applicable interest with the court clerk. Selling first may help protect any equity you have. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff'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. Check the actual court and sale notices for the current status and deadline.

Can I sell a Hamilton house with a mortgage, lien, or back taxes?

You can ask about a house with a mortgage, lien, or back taxes. Those balances are separate from closing costs; the actual payoff, property records, and closing review determine the figures that apply. A sale does not by itself tell you the amount owed.

What should I have ready for a first conversation?

Start with the Hamilton property address, what you know about its condition, who is there, and your timing. A deed, lease, tax notice, payoff statement, lien notice, or court paper can help answer the next question, but you can call before every document is gathered or every decision is made.
