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.

Mayfield seller questions, answered
Can I sell a Mayfield house that needs repairs or a cleanout?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what needs work and what you know about access or occupancy, then compare the written options for your house.
How much of the sale price would I keep?
The sale price is not the amount you keep. Net proceeds depend on the sale path, sale costs, and amounts due on the property, so compare the numbers for your house instead of the headline price alone.
How soon can I get a written offer, and how long do the two options take?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Cash Offer is 30 days or less; EZ Sale goes to one of our partners and is 60 days or less. Compare the written terms for your house before choosing.
Who pays the closing costs and Kentucky real estate transfer tax?
Kentucky charges 50 cents for each $500 of value or fraction of $500. The seller owes the tax on the full sale price, including any liens the buyer takes over, and the county clerk collects it before the deed can be recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording fees are separate, so ask the title company whether an exemption applies to your sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Can I sell my Mayfield house while a Kentucky foreclosure is underway?
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. Kentucky foreclosures go through circuit court: the lender files a lawsuit, and if it wins a judgment, the court orders the house sold at a public auction run by the master commissioner. By court rule, the commissioner generally must hold the sale within 90 days after the case is referred, two disinterested people appraise the house first, and the sale is advertised at least once, 7 to 21 days before the auction. The court must confirm the sale before the buyer gets a deed. If the house sells for less than two-thirds of its appraised value, the owner can redeem it within six months by repaying the sale price plus 10% interest and certain costs. Check the court papers and current case dates before relying on a sale schedule.
Can I see the offer and terms before I decide?
Read the price, responsibilities, timing, and property-specific costs before you choose a path.
