Start with what you keep

Compare net proceeds, not just the sale price

Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and property balances. Your written sale price is considered alongside your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes. A listing can add repairs, agent commissions, concessions, cleanout, and the cost of carrying the house.

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.

Manchester seller questions, answered

How quickly can I get a written cash offer, and when could we close?

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority.

Do I need to repair, clean, or empty the Manchester house first?

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy houses in Manchester and Hillsborough County, NH.

What would I keep from a cash sale?

Your net depends on the written price after mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and other costs. A listing can add repairs, commissions, and carrying costs. The calculator on this page compares possible net proceeds with editable assumptions.

What closing costs and transfer tax apply in New Hampshire?

New Hampshire real estate transfer tax charges both buyer and seller $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of the taxable price. Each party's tax is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a taxable price of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 each. At closing, the closing professional handles the tax stamps through the county register of deeds and required Department of Revenue Administration filings, including any exemption. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Can I sell my Manchester house while foreclosure is underway?

A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the foreclosure sale. With a power-of-sale mortgage, the lender can foreclose without a court lawsuit. Residential borrowers generally receive at least 45 days' notice, with newspaper publication once a week for three weeks. The notice explains how to ask the county's superior court to stop the sale; the petition and service must be completed before the sale to preserve that statutory challenge. Redemption before foreclosure requires satisfying the mortgage obligations, damages, and costs. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Can I sell an inherited Manchester house before probate is finished?

Often, yes, but the person signing for the estate needs legal authority. Unless the will provides otherwise, an administrator or executor may sell with written consent from the surviving spouse and heirs or devisees (people named to inherit), or their guardians or conservators. The probate court can also license a sale, for example when other estate assets cannot cover estate debts. We review seller authority with you. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Can I sell a Manchester house with tenants still living there?

Yes. A sale does not by itself require tenants to move; the lease and any lawful termination notices still matter. We review occupancy, lease terms, and timing with you. An agreement with a buyer does not replace the tenant process.

What paperwork do I need before I call about selling?

You do not need every document before calling. We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority as the sale moves forward. A deed, payoff information, lease, or estate paper can help answer a specific question, but you can call before everything is gathered.

Start with a question

Start with whatever you know

You can call before every paper is together. Tell us what is happening with the house; we can start with what you know. Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above.
