We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can start with the house as it is and compare the written terms with your other options.

There is no one take-home amount for every house. Compare the written sale price with the costs that apply to your sale, such as repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes. What remains after those costs is the useful comparison, not the sale price alone.

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.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Start with the property address and the condition, occupancy, and timing details you know.

Yes. You can review our written offer and terms before you commit. If you decide to proceed, the sale closes through a title company.

West Virginia charges a real estate transfer excise tax of $1.10 per $500 or fraction of taxable value. An additional county excise tax starts at $0.55 per $500, and the county commission may raise that additional tax to $1.65 per $500. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. The applicable county rate and taxable value determine the figures. State law generally assigns the excise tax to the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. Mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.

A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. With a deed of trust, the named trustee can sell the house at public auction after a default without a court case. Treat the auction date as the deadline for completing a sale and paying off the loan, and have the title company or an attorney confirm the current date and amount needed.

Yes. You can start with what you know. Before closing, the person signing must be appointed or otherwise authorized to sell the property. In West Virginia, an executor must qualify before acting for the estate; a will may give the qualified executor authority to sell real estate that was not specifically left to someone else. If there is no will, the administrator appointment and the heirs’ ownership matter. The title company or an attorney can confirm who must sign from the will, deed, and estate papers.

Yes. Selling does not by itself require the tenant to move; a buyer of leased property steps into the landlord’s position, and the tenant keeps the lease rights. The purchase and closing paperwork should account for the lease and security deposit. When the tenancy ends, the deposit return deadline is generally 60 days or 45 days after a new tenant moves in, whichever comes first.

Yes, we can discuss a house with an open code notice as-is. A sale does not erase a city or county order or a lien for work. West Virginia law lets cities require repairs or removal of unsafe buildings, and counties have similar authority. When we buy, we are the buyer, so repairs become our job; the existing notice, deadline, and any lien still need to be addressed in the sale.
