Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
Net proceeds are what remains after the costs that apply to your sale. Repairs, cleanout, selling costs, mortgage payoff, liens, and the time you carry the house can change the comparison. Use your own assumptions rather than relying on a headline price.
Compare possible Toledo net proceeds with the calculator →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.

Toledo seller questions, answered
How do I compare what I might keep from selling?
Start with net proceeds, not the sale price alone. Compare the written price with costs that apply to each path, such as repairs, cleanout, commissions, holding bills, mortgage payoff, and closing costs. The calculator lets you change assumptions for your house.
Do I need to repair, clean, or empty the Toledo house first?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How soon can 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.
What is the Ohio conveyance fee?
Ohio calls it a conveyance fee. State law sets the fee at $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, and a county may add up to $3 per $1,000 (Ohio Rev. Code §§ 319.54 and 322.02). When you sell to us, we pay it. Other taxes and closing charges are separate items shown in the property-specific closing figures.
Do I need every document before I call?
No. Call with your question and the details you know; you do not need to gather every paper first. A written offer and written terms come before you commit, and closing is through a title company.
Can I ask about selling an inherited Toledo house before all estate papers are ready?
Yes. You can start the conversation before every estate paper is gathered. The title company confirms the signing authority and closing requirements for the property before closing.
Can I ask about a tenant-occupied Toledo house?
Yes. You can call about a tenant-occupied house. The lease, occupancy, access, and possession plans are useful details to bring into the review.
What if a foreclosure notice has a deadline?
You can call with the notice and the date shown on it to compare a written cash-offer option. A call or offer does not change a lender or court deadline, so contact the lender and an attorney promptly about the notice.
Start with a question
You can call before you have everything figured out
Start with the property address and what is making the sale difficult. A notice, lease, payoff statement, or estate paper can help answer the next question, but you do not need perfect paperwork before you call.
