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.

Hutchinson seller questions, answered
Do I need to repair or clean out my Hutchinson house before selling to you?
No. 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 house and its condition.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
How do I compare what I keep from a cash sale with listing?
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Compare the written price after repairs, agent costs, other sale expenses, the mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. Those amounts depend on the property and the path you choose.
What closing costs or transfer tax apply to a Kansas house sale?
Kansas does not charge a real estate transfer tax or deed tax. The mortgage registration tax ended January 1, 2019. County recording fees are $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page; the total depends on the number of recorded pages. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
Can I sell my Hutchinson house while a tenant is living there?
A tenant-occupied house can still be part of a sale discussion. Have the lease, occupancy, access, and any notices handy; possession and timing depend on the actual situation. Confirm lease obligations with a qualified local professional before making a plan.
Can I sell a Hutchinson house during mortgage foreclosure?
A sale may still be possible if the payoff or redemption amount can be paid in time. Kansas mortgage foreclosures go through district court. After judgment, the house is sold at a sheriff's sale and the court confirms the sale. The owner can generally redeem within 12 months, or three months if default occurred before one-third of the original senior debt was paid; the law provides 12 months in some lower-debt cases. Abandonment can shorten or end redemption, so have a title company or attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed. 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.
What should I have ready before I call about an inherited house?
You can call before every estate paper is gathered. Start with the property address, who is handling the estate, what documents you have, and any deadline you know about. A title company or Kansas attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the sale.
Start with the question you have
You do not need every document or a finished plan before calling. Share the address and what you know; a notice, lease, deed, payoff statement, or estate paper can help answer a follow-up question if you have it.
