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 Parkersburg
What will I keep if I sell my Parkersburg house for cash?
You keep the amount left after sale costs and payoffs, not the headline price. Compare written cash terms with a realistic listing plan, including 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 repair, clean, or clear out a house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
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.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.
Who pays West Virginia transfer taxes and closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from that promise; the title company confirms the settlement figures.
Can I ask about an inherited Parkersburg house before every estate paper is ready?
Yes. We can start with the house and what you know now. The estate documents and title review determine who can sign and what steps remain before closing.
Can you review a Parkersburg house that still has tenants?
Yes. Tell us what you know about the lease, who lives there, access, any notices, and your timing. The lease and occupancy details matter to the sale plan.
Can I sell before a West Virginia trustee sale?
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. A trustee named in a deed of trust can sell the house at public auction after a default, without a court case. Treat the auction date as the deadline for completing a sale and paying off the loan; have the title company or an attorney confirm the current sale date and payoff amount. Our agreement of sale will often get a trustee's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
