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

Local selling costs
Rhode Island real estate conveyance tax
Rhode Island charges real estate conveyance tax on a deed when it is recorded. For a taxable sale with more than $100 in consideration, the tax is $3.75 for each $500, or part of $500. The taxable price can include mortgage or lien debt that stays on the property.
For residential sales in 2026, the same rate also applies to the part of the price above $824,000. The threshold is adjusted each year. State law makes the seller responsible unless the parties agree otherwise, and exemptions apply.
Read the Rhode Island real estate conveyance tax law and its exemptions, the Rhode Island Division of Taxation rate notice, and its 2026 threshold notice.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Rhode Island's real estate conveyance tax.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
What you may keep
Compare the money left after costs, not just the sale price
A sale price is not the amount you keep. Compare a written offer or likely listing price with your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, current property-tax share, repairs, cleanout, listing costs if you list, and the bills while you own the house.
Use the home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare the amount left under different sale and cost estimates. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”
Newport market report questions
How does Rhode Island charge real estate conveyance tax?
For a taxable sale with more than $100 in consideration, Rhode Island charges $3.75 for each $500, or part of $500. In 2026, residential sales above $824,000 also pay that rate on the amount above the threshold. The threshold is adjusted each year. State law makes the seller responsible unless the parties agree otherwise; exemptions apply.
What changes the amount I may keep from a sale?
The sale price is only the starting point. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, current property-tax share, repairs, listing costs if you list, and bills while you own the house all affect what remains.
How do repairs, tenants, and timing affect my choices?
Repairs and cleanout can add costs before a listing, tenants can affect access and handoff, and waiting can mean more bills to carry. We can look at the house as it stands, talk through who lives there and what needs work, and compare a direct sale with listing or waiting.
