Money and choices

Compare what you keep, not just the sale price

Net proceeds are what remain after sale costs and property obligations. Compare written numbers with repair and selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and the time you carry the house.

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

Layton seller questions, answered

Do I have to repair or clean out my Layton house before selling to you?

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can tell us what needs work and what is still in the house as it sits.

How soon can I get an offer, and what can I review before deciding?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. We provide the written offer and terms before you decide whether to accept, and closing takes place through a title company. The written terms set the timing for that property.

What will I keep from a sale, and what costs do you pay?

What you keep depends on the written sale price and the costs or balances tied to the property. A mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

Does Utah charge a real-estate transfer tax or recording fee?

Utah has no state real-estate transfer tax. County recording fees may apply to documents, and the statute does not assign those fees to the buyer or seller; the contract and closing statement show the transaction allocation. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Can an inherited house be sold before probate ends in Utah?

An estate’s appointed personal representative — the person authorized to act for the estate — can generally sell estate land. The will, the Probate Code, estate priorities and duties, and any court order can limit that authority, so the appointment and property documents determine who can sign. If you need help finding an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Can I sell while a Utah foreclosure sale is pending?

For a Utah trust-deed foreclosure, a trustee’s sale cannot happen until the notice of default is recorded and at least three months have elapsed. A beneficiary may instead choose a court foreclosure, so the actual notice and court papers matter.

Can I sell a Layton house with a tenant still living there?

Yes. You can discuss a sale while a tenant is still living in the house. The sale itself does not set a move-out date, so the lease and any valid end-of-tenancy arrangement still matter. We can review the occupancy and timing with you before you decide how to proceed.

What if a Layton house has a permit, inspection, or code notice?

You can talk with us about the house as it is. We can review the notice or permit question with you; Layton City’s Building Division handles the City’s building permits and inspection requests.
