Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remain after sale costs and payoffs. Compare the written offer with a realistic listing plan, including repairs, commissions, carrying costs, and any payoff or liens. Your numbers depend on the Marion property and its written terms.
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.

Useful questions about selling in Marion
What will I keep if I sell my Marion house for cash?
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Compare the written price with repairs, commissions, other selling costs, any payoff or liens, and the cost of holding the house. The actual numbers depend on the property and written terms.
Do I need to fix, clean, or clear out a Marion house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How soon will I get a written offer, and what happens next?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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.
What is the Ohio conveyance fee, and who pays it?
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. The state fee is $1 per $1,000 of the price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 the county can add. By law, the seller pays it. When you sell to us, we pay it.
Can I ask about an inherited Marion house before every estate paper is ready?
Yes. You can ask about the house before every estate paper is gathered. The estate documents and title review determine who can sign and what steps remain before closing.
Can you review a Marion house that still has tenants?
Yes. Tell us what you know about the lease, who is living there, access, any notices, and your timing. The lease and occupancy details matter to the sale plan.
What if there is a foreclosure notice or sale deadline?
We can review the house, but use the actual lender, court, or Sheriff notice to confirm the current deadline. An offer inquiry does not confirm that a deadline has changed.
Where can I look up Marion County parcel or deed records?
For a parcel-record question, start with the Marion County Auditor Property Search. For recorded deed records, use the Marion County Recorder Records Search. These are public-record starting points; title and closing figures still need property-specific review.
What should I have ready for a first conversation?
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. You can call with a question before you have every document or decision figured out.
