Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
The sale price is not the amount left for you. Compare the written price with a loan payoff or other property obligations, then account for repairs, selling costs, and the time attached to each path.

Two ways to compare a sale to us
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.

Mansfield and Richland County seller questions
Do I need to repair, clean, or clear out a Mansfield house first?
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 current condition.
How soon can I get a written offer, and what are the program timelines?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. The Cash Offer is 30 days or less; EZ Sale is 60 days or less. You receive written offer terms before you commit, with a title-company closing.
What is Ohio’s conveyance fee, and who pays it?
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells: a required $1 per $1,000 of the price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 the county can add (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54, 322.02). When you sell to us, we pay it.
Can I ask about an inherited Mansfield house before every estate paper is ready?
Yes. You can start before every estate paper is gathered. Before closing, the estate documents and title review need to establish who can sign for the property. The actual records determine what applies to that house.
Can I ask about a Mansfield house that still has a tenant?
Yes. Share what you know about the lease, access, notices, and timing. The lease and occupancy details still matter to the sale and any possession plan, so keep them in view when comparing written terms.
What if a foreclosure notice or sale date is involved?
Use the dates on the actual lender, court, or Sheriff notice and confirm the current status with the servicer or the official record. A sale conversation does not stop a foreclosure process. Share the dates so the property and timing can be reviewed against the notice.
Can I ask about a house with a code notice or serious repairs?
Yes. A house with a code notice or serious repair needs can be discussed as-is. Share the notice and any dates; an offer discussion does not resolve municipal requirements.
