Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Your net proceeds are what remains after the costs and balances for your sale. Compare the written numbers with repairs, selling costs, cleanout, carrying costs, payoff, and taxes before choosing a path.
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.

Midland seller questions, answered
Can I sell a Midland house as-is if it needs repairs or cleanout?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to take on that work before asking about a sale.
How soon can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
How do I compare what I will keep from each sale option?
Compare net proceeds, not only the sale price. Repairs, selling costs, cleanout, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, taxes, and liens can change what remains. Use the calculator to compare your own assumptions for a listing and a cash sale.
Who pays closing costs when I sell to you?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; the title company confirms the amounts and settlement details for the sale.
Can I call before I have all the paperwork together?
Yes. Start with the property address and what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. If an estate or title question is involved, the documents and signing authority still need to be confirmed before closing.
Can I sell a Midland house while a tenant lives there?
Yes, we can review a tenant-occupied house. Tell us about the lease, access, occupancy, and timing so those details can be considered before a closing plan is made.
Can I ask about selling a house with a city or code notice?
Yes. You can ask about the house while a code or repair notice is open. Share the notice you received; the local office that issued it can confirm what applies to that property.
Start with a question
You can call before you have every paper or answer. Tell us the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and what timing you are facing. Call 888-274-5006; you do not need to wait until everything is figured out.
Which local office can answer a property-record question?
Use the office that matches the property and the question. City property-tax information and county deed or tax records are handled through different local pages; check the county and municipality for the address.
