Pick your home's condition, from light touch-ups to fire damage, and change any number.
Silver Spring, MD illustrative estimate
Silver Spring, MD illustrative home sale net proceeds estimate
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
Start with your best estimate of what your house is worth. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

Selling a Silver Spring 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.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
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.

Maryland transfer and recordation taxes
For a taxable $100,000 sale, Maryland's 0.5% state transfer tax is $500. Montgomery County recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax are additional; confirm the current local rates for the property with the settlement company. Maryland law generally presumes the buyer and seller split the taxes equally unless the contract says otherwise, so check the written agreement and settlement statement for your share.
When the buyer is a first-time Maryland home buyer who will live there, the state rate drops to 0.25% and the seller pays all of it, plus the recordation and local transfer taxes unless the parties expressly agree otherwise. Some transfers are exempt, so ask the settlement company how the rule applies to your sale.
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 items.

What Silver Spring sellers should know
Check the address, not just the place name
“Silver Spring” can mean the Census-designated place, Montgomery County's Silver Spring Regional Area, or County planning areas. The Census CDP footprint has land in Montgomery County and touches the Prince George's County boundary, but it does not identify the county or municipality for an individual parcel. Use the exact address and official property records before relying on a local requirement.

Rental licenses and county housing-code questions
Montgomery County says covered residential owners must obtain a rental housing license before renting or advertising a property. DHCA also describes complaint routes for covered property-maintenance conditions and vacant properties or unimproved lots. These programs do not tell you a particular home's license or enforcement status; check the address and any notice with the County office.

Questions about selling a house in Silver Spring
Can I sell a Silver Spring house without repairing or cleaning it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Share the address and condition so you can compare the written terms with the work and timing of another sale path.
What transfer taxes apply when I sell a Maryland house?
Maryland’s state transfer tax is 0.5% of a taxable sale price. County recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax are additional, and the local amount depends on the property’s county and current rates. The law generally presumes an equal split unless the contract says 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, liens, back taxes and current property-tax share are separate.
Does a Silver Spring mailing address tell me the property’s county or municipality?
Not by itself. Census maps the Silver Spring CDP land area in Montgomery County, but that research footprint does not determine a parcel or every place called Silver Spring. County regional-service and planning boundaries are different, and nearby incorporated places such as Takoma Park have their own government. Verify the actual property address and the office shown on its records or notice before relying on a local rule.
What should I do if the house has tenants or a rental-license question?
Share the address, lease, rent and deposit details, access limits, and any notices. Montgomery County says covered residential owners need a rental housing license before they rent or advertise the property; check the County’s licensing information and jurisdiction guidance for the actual address.
What should I do with a Montgomery County housing-code notice?
Keep the notice and match it to the exact address. Montgomery County DHCA describes complaint routes for specified property-maintenance conditions and vacant properties; contact the office named on the notice to confirm what applies to that property.
What happens to insurance proceeds if I sell a fire-damaged house to you?
You keep your insurance proceeds when we buy the house exactly as it stands. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
