Selling an Ocean City house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
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.

Selling costs: Maryland transfer and recordation taxes
Maryland charges a state transfer tax of 0.5% of the sale price. On a $100,000 taxable sale, that state tax is $500. Worcester County sets its own recordation-tax rate, so the county amount depends on the current rate; this example does not include it. Maryland generally presumes state transfer and recordation taxes are split equally between buyer and seller unless the contract says otherwise. Some transfers are exempt, and the settlement company can confirm the amount and allocation for your sale.
For a first-time Maryland home buyer who will live in the house, the state transfer-tax rate drops to 0.25%; the seller pays the state tax and the recordation and local transfer taxes unless the parties expressly agree otherwise. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Maryland's state transfer tax, recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
