Useful questions about selling in Sandusky

What will I keep from a sale?
Your net proceeds are the written sale price minus any mortgage payoff, recorded liens, and other property-specific amounts shown in the closing figures. Use the calculator to compare possible net proceeds; the title company provides the figures for the actual sale.
What is Ohio’s conveyance fee, and who pays it?
Ohio charges a conveyance fee when a house sells. By law, the seller pays a required $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 the county can add (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54, 322.02). When you sell to us, we pay it.
Can I call before I have all the paperwork for an inherited house?
Yes. You can start the conversation before every estate paper is gathered. The deed and estate documents help the title company confirm who can sign before closing.
Can I ask about selling a tenant-occupied house?
Yes. Tell us who lives there, what the lease says, and what access is available. A sale plan needs to account for the actual lease and possession arrangements.
Can I sell if the house has a mortgage, back taxes, or liens?
You can ask about the house before every balance is sorted out. The mortgage payoff, recorded liens, and property-specific amounts need to be identified in the closing figures; a sale does not make a balance disappear.
Does asking for an offer stop a foreclosure or sheriff sale?
No. Asking for or receiving an offer does not stop a foreclosure case or change a date in an official notice. Check the notice and current case status with your attorney, lender, or the court handling the case.
What should I have ready for a first conversation?
Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. You can call before every document is gathered; a deed, lease, payoff statement, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper can help answer the next question.
