We have two ways to buy. Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale below.
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 Pittsburg
Can I sell my Pittsburg house as-is if it 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, who lives there, and the timing you have in mind.
How soon can I get a written cash offer, and when do I see the terms?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
What closing costs or transfer taxes apply to a Kansas house sale?
Kansas does not charge a real-estate transfer tax or deed tax. Its mortgage registration tax ended on January 1, 2019. County recording fees are $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page; the total depends on how many pages are recorded. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
Can I sell my Kansas house before a foreclosure sheriff’s sale?
A sale may still be possible if the payoff or redemption amount can be paid in time. Kansas mortgage foreclosures go through district court. After the lender wins a judgment, the house is sold at a sheriff's sale, usually at the county courthouse, after notice is published once a week for three weeks. The court then confirms the sale. After confirmation, the owner can generally redeem within 12 months, or three months if default occurred before one-third of the original senior debt was paid. The court gives 12 months if all outstanding mortgages and liens total less than one-third of the property's market value. The court may add three months if the owner involuntarily loses their main income after the sale and before the three-month period ends. Abandonment can shorten or end redemption. The owner can generally stay in the home meanwhile. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed.
What if a Pittsburg house has a city code notice or an open repair order?
Yes, you can ask about selling with a notice. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. A sale does not by itself erase an existing order, assessment, or deadline. For a property inside the City of Pittsburg, check the notice with the city office handling the address; a Pittsburg mailing address alone does not establish city limits.
Can I call about a house with a mortgage, lien, or back taxes?
Yes. You can call about a house with those balances or records. Our closing-cost payment does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; the title company and relevant offices confirm the amounts that apply to the property.
What should I have ready for a first conversation?
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who occupies it, and your timing. A notice or court paper can help identify the next question, but you can call before you have every document or decision figured out.
Start with a question
You can call before you have everything figured out
You do not need every document gathered or a final decision made. Start with the Pittsburg address, what you know about the house, who is there, and the timing or notice on your mind. Call 888-274-5006 and ask the question you have.
Local help
Who handles a Pittsburg property-code question?
For an address inside the City of Pittsburg, start with City Codes Enforcement for a property-code notice. Pittsburg is one of several separate cities in Crawford County; Frontenac, Girard, Arma, and Cherokee have their own city boundaries. Check the actual address with the relevant office rather than relying on a postal city name.
