Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remain after the sale costs and property balances. Compare written numbers with repairs, cleanout, commissions, concessions, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, and taxes that apply to the house.
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 from Sayre sellers
Can I sell a Sayre house as-is if it needs work?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can start with what you know about the condition, access, who lives there, and timing.
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 can I compare what I might keep from a sale?
Net proceeds are what remains after sale costs and property balances. Compare the written numbers with the repairs, cleanout, commissions, concessions, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, and taxes that apply to your house.
How quickly will I get a written cash offer and terms?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Before you commit, you get the written offer and terms; closing is handled through a title company.
Who pays Pennsylvania transfer tax and closing costs?
For a taxable transfer, Pennsylvania's state realty-transfer tax is 1%; a local tax may also apply. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Can I ask about selling an inherited house before every paper is ready?
Yes. You can call before you have every document in hand. A deed and estate papers can help identify the next question; the person with authority to sign for a particular sale still needs to be confirmed from the actual documents.
Can I ask about a house with tenants?
Yes. You can start with who lives there, what you know about the lease, access, and your timing. Share those details so the written terms can address the actual property and situation.
What if a sheriff’s sale is scheduled?
Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff'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. Keep the notice and court papers close and use them to track the current sale date and deadlines; an agreement does not change those dates by itself.
